For Succinct, absolutely. Should every project do it? Not necessarily. Succinct can pull this off because their product is developer-first. You don’t need 100k users clicking buttons, you need the right builders testing integrations. But for other projects: think DEXs, bridges, or even L1s and L2s, mass adoption is key. Gating access too tightly might choke the momentum they actually need. So yes, more projects should consider gated testnets but only if it doesn’t get in the way of long-term accessibility and growth.
