Brian's right, but early means different things at different stages. In 2017, early meant believing blockchain would work at all. In 2021, early meant having infrastructure ready for the demand wave. In 2024, early meant building the applications that onboard the next billion users. The opportunity isn't just adopting crypto. It's building the infrastructure that makes adoption inevitable.

Sometimes the right choice feels wrong for years, but pays off in the long run. In 2018, everyone was raising $15-20 million in the ICO boom. We even had a $3 million offer after winning a competition. The influencers literally said "the check is ready" let’s just shake hands. I was sitting in our tiny Mumbai office, looking at my co-founders. We hadn't paid ourselves in months, and I was two months away from my upcoming wedding But this gut feeling remained: if I take this money, there will always be a ceiling to what we can achieve. Easy money always comes with invisible chains. Selling out and saying yes would be the easy option. So we said no. Then the bear market hit, and crypto winter began. It got to a point where VCs wouldn't even take our calls. I remember one meeting in Singapore where the VC literally said "I have to catch an Uber" while I was trying to walk him through while pitching also. I caught a glimpse on his phone that the car was 8 minutes out. My friends all thought I was insane for turning down the offer. "You had $3 million and you walked away?" That choice forced us to build differently. We had to solve real problems because we couldn't afford to solve fake ones. Then in 2020 we raised USD 550mn at 8-9 FDV.

A lot of crosschain solutions defer the hard parts to relayers or optimistic timeouts. @Agglayer handles verification onchain, with zk proofs and pessimistic proof logic (no chain can withdraw more than it has deposited). So execution only happens once the destination chain verifies the source chain’s state is valid.

Sometimes people ask me why they would choose @agglayer cdk erigon (powered by @gateway_eth) to quickly spin up a custom zkevm over any other well known stack. This is my answer: First of all, it is EVM aligned and comes production ready, it is already powering a lot of chains like @WilderWorld @BuildOnLumia @XLayerOfficial and more. The modular architecture lets you swap components like provers or DA layers without rewriting your whole stack, so you can continue to customize as you grow. Second and very importantly you don't have to sacrifice features for speed or vice versa because they are both built in (5,000+ TPS, 30K+ RPC req/sec, and elastic block times). Last, It comes with native Agglayer interop built in, no wrapped assets just instant access to deep liquidity of all chains in the ecosystem. And you don't have sequencer rent or shared governance as is mandatory with a lot of other stacks
