Interesting, but also quite confusing I have to admit, as a non tech nerd.
A blockchain lives from its use cases. But if KOINOS is so indifferent, so vague/opinionless, what is then the point? What is its USP? Feeless we have already on Hive. Why would a dev start on a completely new blockchain with no community, listings, etc. instead of using one where dozens of Dapps are already running? The chicken-egg problem, unless there is nothing, nobody wants to start something. Or are there already projects running on KOINOS?
BTW, is there already a market for KOINOS? You mentioned there are swaps ETH/KOINOS. Just out of curiosity, how much ETH/KOINOS?
Koinos is a free-to-use general purpose blockchain. Yes, Hive doesn't have fees, but it's not free-to-use and most importantly, it's not a smart contracts platform. To learn more about the important difference between free-to-use and fee-less, you can read my latest article: https://peakd.com/koinos/@andrarchy/fee-less-v-free-to-use-whats-the-difference
There are a number of USPs beyond the free-to-use aspect, which you can read about in our whitepaper.
We have a vibrant and rapidly growing community who you can meet on telegram and discord.
There are number of Dapps both live and in development. The atomic swaps are an app, there's KoinDX (a DEX), BurnKoin (a burn pool), koinosblocks.com (block explorer), and more coming. Of all the challenges we face, developers and user adoption isn't one.
Koinos is growing exponentially, people just don't realize it yet.
Many thanks for that info.
Thanks for reading and for the thoughtful comment!
