The most important tech innovation of our lifetime is a database that anyone in the world can use to build apps, issue assets and transact without fear of rug pulls or downtime. This is what it means to be an honest settlement layer.
A blockchain does not become an honest settlement layer from narrative. Aligning with one jurisdiction, running media campaigns and lobbying with governments does not help. These are red flags.
To find the most honest settlement layer, just look where developers are building and where stablecoins, NFTs and RWAs are being issued. It doesn't matter where you live or what you believe, Ethereum just works for you.
