I used to be an Ethereum dev in 2016.
I was the original cofounder and CTO for Cent - platform that later sold the Jack Dorsey tweet NFT for $2m. One of the first NFT projects on mainnet.
Let me be clear - I never believed everything would live on “one chain.” Makes 0 sense. As soon as I discovered Cosmos is 2022 (Terra was bigger than Solana), it was clear that there will be many chains, not one, and that they’ll interoperate. I left Ethereum and went to Cosmos, and built a successful company (https://t.co/6E8uSQCDy8)
Fast forward to today - Vitalik and the EF is abandoning years of cumulative effort of thousands of developers who wanted to “build on Ethereum.” This is the risk of basing your business model on someone else’s token. You will always be second class.
The world needs an open blockchain stack that is open source, and able to be run without “alignment” games and token dependency. This is what Cosmos is. We have the best technology, that lets chains be interoperable with all other blockchains via an open bridging protocol. Everything Ethereum promised, we’ve built.
Switching to Cosmos is a powerful move. You can run your app at subsecond block times, with no security dependencies, and 100% ownership of your future and your brand. It makes sense for the best L2s (e.g. Polygon, built on Cosmos) that have outgrown Ethereum. IBC lets you interoperate with all kinds of offchain systems to connect into the real world.
Start building for you and your users, stop building for $ETH.
