[Nick-Vitreus]

Hi Philip!

Great discussion here! 💡 One challenge we've noticed for many Web3 developers is the financial and operational barriers some networks create. Polkadot's parachain model, while innovative, can be a steep hurdle for smaller teams or projects that need flexibility without breaking the bank.

At Vitreus (check out our Discord), we’re rethinking blockchain infrastructure with a Layer-0 architecture designed to be accessible for everyone—no costly parachain auctions, no restrictive resource allocation. Developers can enjoy low to no gas fees and scale seamlessly, whether you're a solo dev launching a small dApp or a large team building the next big thing. It's all about empowering builders at every stage.

Would love to hear your thoughts on how inclusive infrastructure impacts innovation!
