Enjoying the trenches, anon?
While we
@ManifoldTrading
love the trenches too, crypto needs real value to avoid trading vaporware forever. We believe RWAs are the solution, and RWA protocols will stand to benefit the most as crypto gains more regulatory clarity in the coming
"We're just gambling on vaporware" is a common theme echoing through CT.
It seems like crypto only found PMF in pure speculation on shiny tickers.
Where do we go from here? In our more recent thesis, we dive deeper into where we see the game evolving:

No KYC would be great but idk if you can capture assets with largest market share potential without it. You also never know whether regulators will decide that some RWAs that don’t need KYC today may need KYC tomorrow. I think better question is how you can better make KYC’d RWAs

Ok so it's not as bad as we thought. I do still wish they allocated more towards the airdrop, and it is strange that they were so lenient with VPNs when collecting user funds but so stringent when users try to claim tokens, but hey that's crypto.
Clarifications with respect to the Season 1, Phase 2 allocations of 10% (approximately 7.77M EIGEN), Pendle, and certain other unresolved (DeFi) contracts.
– Users of Pendle or any unresolved (DeFi) contract are not penalized in the distribution.
– 10% is an approximate

A core function is that the app tracks engagement across all restaurants. The "points" you earn are redeemable for dollars and is composable with DeFi. The app also controls value of memberships based on bonding curves. It's just a lot easier to achieve this using blockchain.
