@MaxiNicky Yeah, fully understand Nicky. The team and our system have been updated to do not contact.

Dear @PlexusRS Team,
I fail to comprehend why it’s so difficult to understand and accept a simple request to stop contacting me, especially when it’s coming from untrained & amateurish consultants who don’t even check basic information before shooting from the hip.
This was already mentioned to you earlier, yet your unprofessional staff continues to contact me.
Please help me understand how I can make this message any clearer, in case my previous requests were somehow not obvious enough.

@MaxiNicky Hi Nicky - sincere apologies here, we have our moments of being a little over zealous. Will personally ensure that you are not contacted.

@MaxiNicky If your raise is easy, how will you know if you have the chops to succeed when things get difficult?
Proud of you guys and excited about what you build.

When I read this, I honestly didn’t know whether to laugh or feel a bit sad at the same time. It sounded way too familiar, basically our story in a nutshell.
Looking back, what really helped us was
1) learning from our mistakes,
2) we also changed our pitch, more than once obviously,
3) on top of that we gathered a lot more feedback and openly asked for it
4) at the same time we kept checking what we could improve and how we could shape the product into something better.
We also went through what felt like a never ending number of calls and at one point definitely started doubting ourselves a bit 🙂 But we never gave up and somehow managed to pull it through.
Moral of the story is simple. Just don’t give up :)

I'd suggest creating an excel sheet with the profiles of all the impacted individuals (if they agree), and sharing that sheet on request.
Truly sorry for all the affected individuals and would love to underline that this is a wholesome message. Worked in a place where they also had a firing round & handled it like complete amateurs.

Today we shared difficult news with the OP Labs team.
Our priority was to communicate with the impacted people & give the team time to process the news before sharing publicly. This decision reflects a narrowing of our focus, not our runway.
I’m sharing the note I sent to the team earlier today, and I strongly encourage teams across the ecosystem to reach out to the people leaving OP Labs because they are talented engineers, operators, and builders who helped build Optimism into what it is today.
If you are genuinely hiring, feel free to shoot me a DM with your open roles and I will make introductions (with dual consent).

bigger elevator, same line
one jam and the whole building stops
the answer was never a bigger elevator it was always more of them
each one serving different floors none waiting on the others
that's what Appchains are
that's what we built Pelagos around
100k+ TPS. parallel. one liquidity layer under all of it

met the cutest girl at my cousin's wedding last night.
we're vibing hard man! laughing, deep eye contact, that rare spark where everything just clicks.
she mentions she's into crypto and casually says: "yeah, I use Pelagos."
my heart does a full 180. "wait, you actually use Pelagos? like atomic crosschain execution?"
she nods enthusiastically: "totally, it's amazing. super seamless multichain stuff."
I'm grinning like an idiot. "So you're running full atomic intents? Lock on one chain, solve across ecosystems, settle atomically without bridges, no wrapped assets, just one unified execution layer?"
she smiles: "yeah, I love how easy it is to use it."
then i asked a fatal question: "what do you do when you need to move assets crosschain? you routing through Pelagos' SDK for true atomic ops, right?"
she pauses, sips her drink. "well... I usually just use bridges to move my stuff over when I need to. it's quick enough, cheap and 0 risks"
the music stops in my head. I lean in: "hold up. You're telling me you know about Pelagos but still bridge your assets manually? Like, you ignore the whole point, one execution layer, zero bridges, atomic or revert, unified liquidity without fragmentation and you choose effing bridges? the exact thing Pelagos was built to avoid?"
she shrugs: "I mean, bridges work fine for me. I don't do anything too crazy."
I can't help it: "But do you get it? Pelagos makes bridges obsolete. No wrappers, no partial failures, no stuck funds. atomic outcomes across Ethereum, Solana, whatever all in sub-second DAG execution. You're one intent away from real multichain freedom, and you're still... bridging?"
her friends appear out of nowhere: "come on, let's dance!" she gives the awkward "it was nice chatting" wave and gets whisked away to the floor.
now here I am, alone at this fancy table, cocktail sitting completely untouched next to the
Pelagos-branded place card they handed out. Everyone's out there twirling, flirting, living their fragmented, bridge-dependent lives.
meanwhile I'm replaying in my head how I'm coordinating true atomic cross-chain strategies with zero bridge risk while she's probably refreshing a bridge status page... and honestly?
that's worth more than any short-lived vibe killed by reliance on the exact thing Pelagos was built to avoid.
