Building a new chain is like setting up a new country. It’s not easy to make a country great - so many things must go well and the right leaders, policies, incentives, ecosystem, talent must all come together to make things work. Otherwise it’s easy to see factions killing each other in civil wars or larger neighbours invading the country and putting an end to it. Most dev teams don’t realize they are setting up a new country when creating a new chain. Sure, hundreds of years ago, anyone can plant a flag and claim they started a country but it’s meaningless. Think like a great founding leader on what will make the chain / country great and why would people come to your rural village. The leaders of Singapore and Dubai have made this leap. What will be your anchor industry / app? Why would anyone want to invest / bridge liquidity into your chain? Yes, you can give tax breaks / liquidity incentives for a few years / months, but will they stay after the incentives stop and can you attract more investors to follow the early pioneers without additional incentives? GTM and distribution strategy is a very important piece of the puzzle in a hyper competitive world. Only the strongest survive!
