Love all the $NET hype but haven’t seen anyone touch on an important aspect of this project. The @NetNetCap dev, Al Dunlap, has an 8+ year track record of building in crypto, including a role as a core developer at Dapper Labs, where he helped build the first version of NBA Top Shot. NBA Top Shot… I’m not sure who remembers Top Shot in early 2021, but I had friends who never touched crypto before or since who were obsessed with it. The project raised $305m in private funding and went on to generate over $1B in volume, with a user base largely comprised of non-crypto normies. It was one of the few projects in this space to reach escape velocity beyond crypto, and one of the few to generate meaningful revenue outside of traditional trading fees. Our space is largely a circle jerk of the same liquidity flowing in and out of the same projects through increasingly accelerated cycles. It’s becoming clear that to reach a valuation >$1b today, a project needs to find a way to capture liquidity from outside of crypto. Al Dunlap is one of the few developers with experience doing exactly that. In his @MCGLive interview, he alluded to having distribution channels and partners ready to help push the project forward once he feels it’s ready. He’s also had ongoing communication with the Robinhood team, who have provided some level of consultation on the project and, according to Dunlap, directly told him that @NetNetCap is one of the only projects moving in the right direction regarding RWA innovation. Right now, we’re still in the testing phase, with Dunlap fine-tuning the platform before bringing on additional partners and pushing it beyond our space. I love the product so far, and with each new feature and game, I can see the platform becoming increasingly marketable to a non-crypto audience. Given Dunlap’s experience at Dapper Labs, I’m confident he has the means to push this well beyond our little bubble when the time comes. And that ultimately means something important for $NET holders: non-crypto liquidity flowing through the treasury and back to $NET holders (see staking and treasury mechanics).
