throughout the ~4.5 years I’ve worked at @Offchain Labs, there’s always been some “looming doom” that CT points to as the inevitable “death of Arbitrum”
1st year it was competing with @0xPolygon who was spending 10s of millions to get big web2 partnerships, no way you’re competing with them!
2nd year it was that ZK tech that would kill the need for any optimistic rollup tech bc “vitalik said so”, your tech is gonna be obsolete!
3rd year it was @base launching, + @optimism launching the superchain campaign, their vision, marketing, and GTM is killer - Arbitrum is done for!
4th year it was Arbitrum is just a bridge to @HyperliquidX, idk why they chose Arbitrum but who cares if it’s just a bridge, nothing else to do!
every step of the way I wondered how is it that we can have so many people cheering us on (builders, ecosystem friends, etc) yet so many nay sayers praying on our down fall all whilst actively being the underdog
if it wasn’t for the:
1) incredible leadership from the @arbitrum eco
2)actual DAO where token holders have power of the purse
3) creation of this platform that works incredibly well today/is pushing the boundaries on what’s possible onchain
I don’t think we’d be where we’re at today:
- making major partnerships with the biggest fintech companies in the world like @RobinhoodApp
- sitting at #1 as the biggest neutral land of liquidity on @ethereum and top 5 amongst all blockchans
- shipping truly novel tech like stylus, timeboost, BoLD, multi-gas targets, etc
that being said if you still think @VitalikButerin’s post was a death sentence to @arbitrum
we, the ecosystem, looks forward to proving you and everyone else wrong once again 💙
