With the release of Astra, I've been seeing lots of projects come to life by vibe coders, mostly video games
Did you know that you could do the same with appchains with a crypto-native product?
And crypto brings this product the full list of benefits of open source database: size
I'm talking about
@CNPYNetwork, if you haven't guessed already
You can deploy your vibe-coded app and put it onchain through Canopy's templates and familiar language AND inherit the shared restaked security
From there, you can have your project grow organically on Canopy, or move it toward an independent L1 form
The open-source nature of Canopy turns the apps created into more training data, which hones the agents precision and makes the next apps come out faster
And the positive feedback loop keeps on improving everything
▶️ They also have a
$CNPY token
- Use it to pay gas and fees
- It's a security collateral that validators bond (slashing for misbehaving)
- Bonded CNPY can be restaked to expand security to new apps (nested chains)
- Validators and delegators get block rewards, and Nested chains can add their own incentives
- There's a DAO treasury getting a good share of block rewards for future incentives
- CNPY is also the unit for Terminal launches, graduation thresholds, and dual-asset staking after graduation
The chart is also beautifully bullish rn, and we're currently around $20M in market cap, with lots of room to grow in this current bull market
▶️ Two different trends are crossing
1️⃣ The cost of AI coding tools is collapsing and getting cheaper and cheaper
2️⃣ The cost of launching a chain is stable and still expensive
These two lines cross exactly where Canopy stands
You could vibe-code an appachain before for acceptable AI tooling costs, but it was pointless since you couldn't launch and secure it
Canopy makes that possible, finally breaking the flat line of chain launching cost to a turn
More teams than ever before will now be able to launch their own appchain, and with a rise in builders/users, a higher demand will follow for
$CNPY (you need to restake and validate)
A classic 'When everybody looks for gold, sell shovels' type of situation
The fee burn and recycle system created by the actual app usage will add a nice extra positive feeback loop
Mainnet has gone live on the 9th of this month, you're still early to explore it
