Description

Abstract’s shutdown drives a candid postmortem on its incentives, TGE expectations, communication with builders and the trust lost as the chain winds down. Voxel Queen joins from a builder’s perspective to discuss the fallout, while the Coffee Crew weighs whether shutting down was financially responsible even if the process left users and projects frustrated. SimpleFarmer also breaks down the Moonbirds × StonkBrokers “SockBrokers” collaboration from Singapore. Later, James joins the discussion around where displaced builders could go next, including ApeChain, its community and Otherside as one of the products the chain is betting on.
