I don't think I "shattered" anything about vProgs. vProgs are beautiful. The narrative that they somehow negate, contradict, or compete with aggregative solutions is stupid, and I hope that I put a huge dent in it. But vProgs themselves? A masterpiece.

The bottom line of the recent discussion about vProgs and based rollups over $kas ------- Kaspa is a highway. Smart contracts are commuters on that highway. vProgs provide a shiny new combustion engine technology. Commuters can drive cars that have this new fancy engine. Having your own car is sweet, but maintaining a car is not for everyone. It constantly needs fuel, you need to fix it when it breaks, renew it's licence every year, etc.. For many people, the benefits of owning their own car are not worth the hassle. So what do the do? They take the bus. The bus is an L2: a single, large vehicle, that (permissionlessly) drives many people at once. Based on their needs and preferences dome people use cars while other use busses. Nothing contentious about that except that for some reason, some people are convinced that supporting busses somehow undermines the importance of engines. Silly huh? Ok, let's shed the analogy and explain this properly. There are three very common misconceptions: 1. vProgs and rollups provide the same service 2. Rollups compete with vProg 3. vProg provide a better user experience With this misconception, it is too easy to interpret any support for rollups as criticism towards vProgs. But that's not the situation at all. vProgs revolutionize the way (almost) *any* off-chain VM interacts with the base layer. But this off-chain VM should, y'know, exist. Moreover, it requires provers that constantly create ZK proofs, which is expensive and complicated. The service provided by an L2 is to maintain a single, VM where many projects can deploy, and a prover network that sequences (on the base layer!!!) all these projects combined. The name "rollup" just refers to how all these projects are aggregated into a single state. An L2 can (and probably should) be deployed as a vProg. It is essentially a single vProg that many projects share. On the UX side, there is no difference. You can make an SC over an L2 have indistinguishable UX from an independent vProg. Between "deploy my own vProg" or "use an L2" there is no one-size-fit-all answer. It highly depends on the projects needs. To facilitate a lot of adoption and migration, you *have to provide options*. Currently, @Igra_Labs are the only ones seriously working to deliver such options. They discuss deploying as a vProg explicitly in their WP, which makes them *the most important application for vProgs that is currently under development*. Yet, they are construed as "a competition" to vProg. This wild misconception is detrimental not only to Igra, but to any future developer who might want to build busses for the Kaspa highway. But busses need engines, and passengers need busses, and the highway? It faces a risk of shutting down if it can't get enough passengers soon. So in what way does it make sense to oppose busses?

Showing support to the good project in the $KAS ecosystem is what needed. Thank you @hashdag https://t.co/PGIW19lWdz

A crypto project is only built to last when it nails all six pillars: 🔹 Tech that actually scales 🔹 Solid tokenomics 🔹 Devs who ship 🔹 Real-world utility 🔹 A community that shows up 🔹 And fairness at the core Kaspa is one of the few that checks every box. $KAS https://t.co/DKz7RRrDPH
