@NickDrakon @juanaxyz00 @FantomFDN About ~45 now. We've been aggressively hiring. Increased total staff by 18% since December. Added a whole new independent client team, and building out the marketing team structure. Lots of real heavy hitters.

Brian nailed it. Regulated crypto, not crypto regulation. As more centralized entities fail and consumers lose their IOU crypto, the regulators get more support and ammunition to block the whole industry. We need regulated crypto, and let the badlands be.

@moneyduplos Instant (sub 500ms). Sonic was specifically designed for a new generation of apps; games, social, messaging, streaming etc. Sonic has the highest tps, lowest finality, and highest scaling ceiling of any blockchain currently.

@gakonst Disagree with this take, we did a significant amount of research on parallelism, while I will acknowledge there is an increase of around 30%, this is fairly insignificant given other optimization to the VM (superset instructions, switching from 8-bit opcodes to 16-bit opcodes,…

@thecoindaddy Fantom has, and still is, very simple to define. A high throughput blockchain. Just like when Opera launched everyone else was maxed at 7 TPS, and we maxed at 200. Now some chains can manage up to 1k, and Sonic can do 10k. It is the nature of technology, keep increasing…
