SWIFT-banning of Russia as watershed moment for cryptocurrencies.
Before: Governments say "crypto is regulation-subverting money, only criminals need it"
After: Governments say "we need crypto, in case we're SWIFT-banned. We need it big enough for nation states"

Crypto runs on the open source ethos. When projects don’t follow it, the ecosystem suffers.

Ethereum allows ~1M gas / second.
dYdX STARK proofs consume ~ 1K gas / second...
BUT would cost 1M-4M gas / second on L1.
THATs 1000-4000x scale!
See plot, using 1 tx = ~ 300K gas on L1.

Minting an NFT directly on ETH: $40
Minting an NFT on StarkEx: $0.003 (0.3 cent)
That's 13,333.3333x cheaper.
No other scaling solution delivers this. Period. Full Stop.
600,000 NFTs *minted* on L2 with a single STARK proof.
Minting an NFT costs less than 10 gas, much less than a penny.
