Hi precious_access
Thanks for sharing your views and the synopsis
I read several articles on the whole Sushi swap thing to try and understand what happened, yours is the best explanation i’ve read without me getting lost in the detail.
From your comments, you clearly have a good understanding of the whole ADA eco-system and the crypto space, some of the solutions you have offered could/should/may be followed or at least be debated to move Cardano forward (so as not to miss out on the opportunities that other projects are definitely benefitting from).
Have you shared your input with the Roadmap group ? Building a Public Roadmap: Draft , This group was formed because of lack of progress and to support and accelerate the Cardano Foundation in particular, i’m sure a lot of them share your frustration, it’s what pulled this team together.
Be part of the solution, engage (if your not currently) and promote your ideas, if it makes sense i’m sure others who feel the same frustration will support your ideas.
Re the ITN, your right It could offer us the opportunity to have a two tier growth pattern if some resource was applied to the ITN, i also believe it should have been kept/supported (the vote that took place wasn’t particular well communicated) on the ITN as you’ve indicated we could trial new concepts/proposals to move at a faster pace without damage to the mainnet.
I would probably try to avoid the name calling on future posts !! especially if you want others to support your proposals that will benefit us all, some might not support even if they like the sentiment of what you’re saying, as they may not wish to be directly critical.
Just do it ! be part of the solution
