Apex Fusion is built through collaboration and strong partnerships over competition. Shoutout to our partner @ethernal_tech, Ethereum OGs and Web3 veterans, the masterminds behind the Apex Fusion Reactor Bridge. Great to see @CryptoTimes_io recognize the strength of our partnerships! Read more:

There are valuable lessons from both the L1/L2 play and EF. The emergence of @ApexFusion Prime as a genuinely neutral L1, supported by a self sustainable @ApexFusionFndn holds promise. While trade-offs are unavoidable, prioritizing learning over repeating past mistakes could lead to iterative improvements that benefit the broader industry.

Big thanks to @IvanOnTech for mentioning Apex Fusion after spotting us in @BTCTN . Great to see our strategy for addressing crypto regulation by design, getting the recognition it deserves!
