Really fun idea and execution💡
We were settling into the “fact” this stuff was going to cost $100Bs to build, that it was going to be closed source. Monopolised.
& then DeepSeek outperformed all leading models at fractions of cost
And open sourced the tech
Now any AI builder has access to the most powerful model.
Truly a gift for open source, and even bigger one for AI development.
From a retrospect, TVL came from an era where DeFi was the only web3 vertical, and the only business model was about yield (based on AUM).
That said, the business model of chains is about transactions. Finally we’re seeing activities that generates usage of a chain (Social, ID, Supply Chain, Gig Economy, DePIN) where other upcoming applications may not increase TVL, but will still generate revenue for their blockchain ecosystem.
From this standpoint, L1s/L2s are effectively virtual economies, and their resilience comes from a diversity of applications that provide services to each other.
I’m happy that we’re now seeing a more vibrant and diverse economy of apps, one that I hope will attract and sustain with positive feedback loops. TVL alone can't reflect any of that.

I’m just saying
Your solution might be over-engineered for your requirements
Simple design is elegant design
