A few hours ago, the mainnet of Nervos was launched. The version number is Lina, the name of the famous fire mage in Dota. However, if you encounter a headwind situation, it is easy to be miserable all the way, being suppressed and beaten, and you have no magic output, but you just cant fight.
Thinking about the environment Nervos faces in reality, the name Lina is really vivid. At this point in time, a PoW public chain will be launched. If it goes along, it will be a super god, and if it goes against it, it will be a super ghost.
Nervos is a project we like very much, mainly because they ask the right question: If we want to build a better encrypted economic world, what kind of basic technical infrastructure do we need? This statement is still very abstract. Friends who are not familiar with this project can take a look at what we have done before.
this interview
After that interview, we have been watching Nervos from the sidelines, watching them build their foundations in their own way, with the ups and downs of the market, people coming and going, and all kinds of noise. Almost 500 days later, Nervos will be listed on the main network, and almost at the same time, ckb will also be listed on mainstream exchanges.
At 12 oclock the night before yesterday, Guo Ning, the co-founder of Nervos, had a phone conversation with us. He was still in the office and had just finished a community AMA. He had to type to answer questions in the group from time to time. I asked him, whats the difference after going online?
He thought for a while and said that before going online, it was more like making products in a closed environment. It could be more technically idealistic, and the problems to be solved were simple, but after going online, the situation became more complicated. There are different positions, and they will affect each other. Just like a traditional company going public, it needs to face the attention and supervision of the public and the government. It is easier for potential opponents to target you. Thoughtful and more realistic.
This answer made me feel a little bit emotional. Just last week, the company I stayed for a long time when I was young went public, called 36kr. It took eight years from establishment to listing, and I personally experienced four of them, quite a journey. The road after listing It will become more complicated, you can get a lot of resources that you couldnt get before, and you also have to bear new pressures and responsibilities.
This is especially true for the public chain, which is not the same as a company. What it wants to build is a brand-new ecology in a brand-new industry. Strictly speaking, there are only two that have been built before, btc and eth. Their experience can indeed be learned, but the cases are limited, coupled with the passage of time, there is not much experience that can be used now, and the new public chain has to forcibly fight its way out.
