No app required!
We took all of the complexity of issuing MIFARE DESFire enabled NFC credentials and made it extremely developer friendly. SDKs in most major languages (python, ruby, csharp, js, etc), developer console with request logs, and more.
If you can send/receive APDUs you're good to go.
1. NFT spec is flimsy at best
2. We trust output from ETH nodes inherently
3. Most of the user facing clients for Web3 are decentralized
4. Power is easily rolled up into convenience providers like QuickNode
but I think something that is (perhaps conveniently missed) is that there is A LOT of power in having decentralized / censorship-resistant state - this is the thing that makes DeFi a real threat to orgs like exchanges and banks. They can't force people to have a certain amount of capital to trade derivatives or have a certain credit profile to borrow, the system is permissionless and the API is open 24/7.
That's pretty remarkable IMO and I think that sort of permissionless is likely to be used for very compelling things in the future, NFTs aside.
Also one thing that he notes but doesn't quite provide a solution for but I'm betting will exist in the near future is a markup language to map UI components to smart contract functions/views.
Our mission is to help blockchain ecosystems scale, by providing accessible core infrastructure.
We make it simple to power your blockchain applications and scale up as you grow. From elastic APIs & dedicated nodes, to powerful tools & analytics, all at your command through a simple control panel.
We're hiring software engineers to work on our core network platform and web interface. In the network platform, we're largely Go. On the web interface side, you'd be working in Rails with some of the best tooling (Sorbet, StimulusReflex, etc). We've got decent tooling in place to make our code approachable - but we need more.

If it is offered to others, it should be offered here. Let's keep people out of cages.
disclaimer: also not a lawyer.
“ In other words, while it’s possible for an individual bank to boost its reserves by selling assets to raise capital, it’s mechanically impossible for the entire banking industry to collectively raise its reserves industry-wide.”
Why not? I have confidence people would rally together to buy distressed bank assets at rock bottom prices.
> premised on IANA handing over control of the DNS AND that hand over is to a premined cryptocurrency network so they can resell it?
Then not as far as I can tell.
If it's or, then yes. It looks like there is a 15% pre-mine: https://handshake.org/files/handshake.txt
