PSA to all of the Ascend and Elysium community. I keep seeing a lot of posts about the friction Ascend created when we launched so I wanna speak on that myself. If I’d spent weeks getting a community off the ground and woke up to a copy of our coin trading on Ascend, I’d be pretty annoyed too. So I do see where a lot of your guys frustration comes in. Stay with me here. Ascend is a fully permissionless launchpad. Anyone can go on the site and launch whatever they want without talking to me or anyone on the team. We never set out to vamp another project or pull people away from a community they’d already built. One of the coolest parts of this past week has been seeing people rally around Blob, e/acc, chameleon. Some not launched on Ascend, and I’m still hyped to see it. Elysium hasn’t even officially launched yet and people already have a community here they care enough about to defend. These are the vibes we need to bring back to crypto. A lot of you guys know me from when I was apart of Azuki community. Half the time you knew who was tweeting just from their PFP. I miss that. In crypto now it feels like people are already asking “what’s next?” before they’ve even gotten to know the people in the coin they just bought. A big reason we built Ascend was to keep supporting projects after launch and give those communities time to grow. I also want to clarify about why we were quiet when trading started. We were asked to hold off on saying Ascend was live during private testing. The plan was always to deploy on Elysium early so we could test the protocol and integrate partners ahead of November 9. People figured out how to bridge in and started trading. We can't control who bridges in, but I also get how it looked from your side. You could see trades going through and you hadn’t heard a word from us. The Ascend model is fully built on giving value back to you guys. We believe that to many top protocols in the space rip so much value from the ecosystem and give very minimal value back. Ascend wants to make the change that we all wanna see happen so bad in our industry. The team and I have put a lot of late nights into Ascend. I’m proud of what we’ve built and I can’t wait for you guys to get your hands on the full product when Elysium officially launches on November 9.
