Like you still have to just keep your head down and focus on utility, keep your head down and, and ignore the naysayers.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
I think that's the number one thing that I would tell
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
Somebody that builds in the space is like, you've got to go focus on your customer.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
You've got to go focus on utility.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
You've got to go focus on the value you're creating and not necessarily be distracted with the money over here or over there.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
Just because you can go and get that money doesn't mean you should.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
Yeah, I think it's such an interesting question.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
I think we've done a lot of things right.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
I think one of the things I probably would change is sort of our order of operations and how we've built.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
It seems very in the weeds, I know.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
But, you know, like we...
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
We started by building kind of the bigger picture.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
We built the framework to build the Canopy solution, and then we built the launchpad that enables that to happen at a highly accelerated pace.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
I think if we had the option, it would have been nice to kind of fast forward a little bit and say like, okay, how do we get this in the hands of developers as soon as humanly possible to get more feedback?
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
And so that getting that feedback is just starting to come in over the last like, like four or five, six months or so.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
But, you know, having more feedback early on when we were designing the protocol and designing exactly how it all come together would have been great.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
It's hard to go at somebody with a white paper or a light paper and say like, hey, give us feedback on how all these mechanisms work and how it's all going to come together.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
It's just, you know, like it speaks to how difficult this process is to build in L1.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
And, you know, like if I could do it faster and get things in the hands of developers sooner, I probably would have.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network
Yeah.
