FUD FAQ | A Weekly Community Thread | Week 72

Top Question of the Week

• What happens when your banks, cards and financial services cut you off thanks to a dusting DDoS or other guilt by association interaction with banned entities? How do you eat? Where do you sleep? Where do you build?

In light of the events of this past week, we decided to take a more profound look at the map architecture that we are currently building and how to configure it to become more decentralised at every stage. Here’s a sneak peak…

Most Common Repeat Question

• Wen merge? What does it mean?

Is it really finally clear? Do we finally know the rough date when the merge will actually happen?

It really seems so! Mid September and Ethereum moves to PoS. The wait will finally be over. No more having to listen to countless misinformed debates about energy use and one more huge step on the path to ultimate scalability.

What will it mean for the DIGITALAX stack? Well, we’ll probably migrate more of the new protocol contracts back to Mainnet and also continue to explore new robust ZK L2 solutions.

Top Controversies

Where to start with this? The war on privacy and cryptography is back in full force. And why many thought for years that it was hyperbole, this last week proves that force is exactly what is being used to prohibit everything from private financial transactions to open source code. It’s clear from some points of you that officials in the US and allies in Europe have overplayed their hand.

But it’s highly unlikely that they are done yet.

What we need now is what we’ve always needed. To fully decentralise everything. What’s really clear now is that we have no time to waste.
