Some Comments
This landmark achievement is a testament to what we can accomplish when we come together, united by a common vision of a more open, decentralized, and efficient Internet. The RSS3 Mainnet is not just a technological innovation; it's a beacon of hope for the future of open information and the Internet.
Our work, however, is far from over. The launch of the Mainnet is just the beginning. It's the foundation upon which we will continue to build, innovate, and expand the RSS3 ecosystem. Now, more than ever, we need your involvement, your ideas, and your passion. Whether it's by running nodes, participating in governance, or simply spreading the word, your contribution is invaluable.
As we march forward, let's carry the momentum of this achievement into the future. Together, let's continue to break barriers, challenge the status quo, and build a truly open web. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Here's to many more milestones to come!
Best,
Zoe and the RSS3 Foundation
