Do we really need all these new chains for GameFi, DeFi, NFTs, and AI? Or could Ethereum and Solana still just cover 90% of what matters? Look at this list: 0G, Allora, Camp Network, Defi App, Eclipse, Fogo, Humanity Protocol, Hyperbolic, Infinex, Lombard, MapleStory Universe, MegaETH, Mitosis, Monad, Multipli, Novastro, OpenLedger, PARADEX, SatLayer, Sidekick, Skate, Somnia, SOON, Sophon, Succinct, Theoriq, Thrive Protocol, Union… (and counting) Every week it feels like 10 more pop up ✅ Some of them are definitely pushing tech (like Hyperbolic, Monad, Succinct) ✅ Some are built for specific niches (like Humanity Protocol for identity, Somnia for metaverse) ✅ Some are straight up just speedruns of “Ethereum but slightly cheaper” At some point, what I think is that users don’t care about chain X or Y, they just want: Games that are fun NFTs that mean something DeFi that doesn’t rug AI that actually works and doesn’t just farm you for data Most people don’t wake up thinking “I wish my NFTs were on a new L1 today", they kinda just want some price action on their NFTs regardless of their chain placements
