**LTC Summer Is Coming: My Story** In the beginning... JK. (We'll keep it short) My early research into LitVM led me down a rabbit hole that transformed my perspective on hard money and Web3. For years, I have contemplated my findings, which ultimately inspired me to co-found LitVM alongside many legends in their respective areas. Litecoin was my first cryptocurrency purchase. Shortly after, I developed a strong interest in privacy coins. Then I moved on to Cardano, and ultimately, Polygon, which I had the opportunity to help incubate. Polygon stood out to me because of Ethereum’s potential. There is no scenario in which Ethereum scales effectively without Layer 2 solutions, especially if mass adoption occurs. Cardano was not scaling quickly enough, and the DeFi and dApps ecosystems required a faster, cheaper platform to flourish. This led me to focus on Matic Network (& QuickSwap / DeFi Summer), which later rebranded to Polygon. Years later, I also helped incubate projects within the Cosmos network, as they were at the forefront of interoperability with IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication). Then, Polygon began developing a superior interoperability solution called The Agglayer. All of my experiences have given me a unique perspective on blockchain technology. But the story doesn’t end there. I have always been passionate about macroeconomics and understood that hard money is the foundation of our movement. This realization prompted me to research how we could unify the entire industry and protect our movement from the narrative of "all roads lead to centralization, inflation, and war." My findings indicated that I needed to integrate all the technologies I've worked with to offer humanity a fighting chance. The result is LitVM, Litecoin's zk Omnichain. We are building Hard Money Web3, which represents the culmination of my experiences and the best technologies I have worked alongside. LitVM = LTC + Polygon + BitcoinOS + AggLayer 🟣🟠🔵
