"It is very common for developers in this ecosystem to grift non-technical community members into believing they have produced useful technology or otherwise fulfilled their obligations when in actuality they just writing non-functional code in a void that is never intended to see use and publishing that code to Github to collect their catalyst milestone rewards with zero intention of actually delivering anything meaningful to the ecosystem or even actually delivering the milestones at all. The below is a great example of an egregious instance of this. Let us walk through each of the proposals"

"This isnt exactly true you can send USDCx from your Cardano wallet directly to binance or any centralized exchange via the xReserve Cardano webapp that will go live. The webapp abstracts the conversion away so all you need to do is set the destination as your deposit address for USDC on the centralized exchange and sign a single transaction on Cardano. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017322313088438515 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017322313088438515"

"Its not unique. We were not the first to do state channels even bitcoin has them. We were not the first to do multi-channel state channels Ethereum has done it with Plasma and despite seeing some niche use the conclusion was that rollups have much stronger alignment with the L1 and inherit more security. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019104128908095962 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019104128908095962"

"Plasma was an independent network in the exact same way Hydra is. Both have their own independent nodes and own independent consensus their own independent security and their own independent ledger rules. This is what differentiates state channels from rollups; state channels dont extend the L1 they are completely independent offchain ledgers which settle to the L1. Plasma had incremental commits and decommits. Plasma supported smart contracts. They are both state channels.

"Hydra on the other hand isnt a separate chain. It simply processes committed UTxOs in parallel using the exact same validation rules as Cardano L1. When you decommit your UTxOs are finalized directly back on mainnet. As far as I understand you dont even need to add a new network to your wallet. You fundamentally do not understand Hydra at all. All of this is wrong. Im telling you this as someone who has contributed to Hydra. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019425705356935236 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019425705356935236"

"I did Ill explain it again: Plasma is essentially an independent network with its own block production and consensus. It periodically commits a root hash to an L1 contract. From a user perspective you usually have to add a new network to your wallet go through exit games and wait out challenge periods to recover assets which feels very similar to traditional L2 bridging. Hydra also has its own block production and its own consensus. Hydra inherits neither consensus nor tx validation from Cardano. Plasma commits a root hash to the L1 if users need to withdraw funds. Likewise Hydra commits a"

"Hydra consensus is a multisig. Not raft. There is no majority quorum or leader election its just a unanimous threshold multisig (every signer in the multisig must agree or the action doesnt happen). You cannot just reuse your plutus scripts in Hydra you must write plutus scripts specifically designed for your Hydra head deployment. This is why none of the dApps on Cardano are deployed as apps in Hydra heads (ie. Why you cant use minswap or sundaeswap in a Hydra head). For the Glacier Drop we had to write many contracts specifically for use on Hydra in addition to the contracts we wrote for"

"It has nothing to do with UTxO and no Base is not the answer; Base has tons of issues just not in terms of user experience or product responsiveness / quality. Base has centralization issues and admin risk (admin keys). The point isnt that we are doomed instead its that there are tons of lessons we can take from other ecosystems specifically from the things those ecosystems to great at. Base in particular I believe we should heavily draw inspiration from in terms of UX flow responsiveness / snappiness of wallets / dApps and developer experience / infrastructure."

"Im extremely excited for CIP-113 as a co-author and of the architect and developer of the programmable tokens smart contracts (iohk/wsc-poc repo). I do see some confusion in the thread below though (to no fault of the OP). USDCx is functionally identical to native USDC for retail users. The literal only difference in functionality is that USDC can be redeemed directly for USD in a bank account through Circle EXCLUSIVELY by institutional partners of Circle. That means this is not possible and doesnt matter to retail users or even DeFi power users because they are not able to do this with USDC"

"Up until today it was impossible to verify that the source code a "dApp" published on Solana corresponded to what you were interacting with on mainnet. This means that even if the smart contracts were open-source you could not verify that they were actually open-source. (because you couldn't reproduce the build). For the first time now you can verify that a dApp on Solana is running the code that they claim they are on Github and this is for some reason being hailed as a monumental step forward in "transparency". What an absolute joke. This is the state of decentralization and security in TPS"

"Number of nodes is not a useful metric of decentralization. You cannot achieve disproportionately high scalability without sacrificing decentralization or security. Yes Solana Sui and others have higher TPS and thus higher scalability than all the UTxO chains you mentioned (its not even comparable they have thousands of times higher TPS) but they are as far behind in security and decentralization as they are ahead in TPS. Absolutely no one can participate in these super fast networks. You dont have the hardware to run a node. No one on your block has the hardware to run a node. Hell I would"

"It's funny because that's exactly how it works on Ethereum Native assets on Ethereum do not support freeze & seize. Freeze and seize on Ethereum can only be done via "virtual tokens" (just data inside smart contracts). The difference is that ETH is the only native asset on Ethereum. On Cardano we have other native assets. But just like how virtual assets on Cardano can be frozen and seized smart contract assets and virtual assets on Cardano can be frozen and seized. So at the end of the day Cardano has the exact same level of native (protocol level) support for freeze and seize as Ethereum"

The conclusion was: We can agree on that both run on L2's (Cardano + Jam) but each with very different security guarantees. Where "both" refers to Hydra Doom and JAM Doom. Specifically with respect to Doom on Polkadot: Doom was not executed directly on the L1 it was executed on an enshrined rollup that inherits maximal security of the L1. The above was mutually agreed upon. Overall I think JAM is an incredible novel innovation in the domain of horizontal scalability and rollup-centric architectures."

It makes less tradeoffs with respect to security and decentralization in doing so"

You can write plutus smart contracts where their success or failure depends on the outcome of a governance action.

No team will ever be penalized for an idea that simply didn't pan out. Honest failure is part of the journey - HOWEVER - deception or outright fraudulent behaviour is not."
