Several association associates discussing the angle on the babyminding appointment additionally aggregate their concerns, suggesting that Otherside should break on Ethereum and appraise Layer 2 solutions on crypto’s top acute arrangement blockchain instead. “I disagree. We should not move out of Ethereum ever. We should chase for an L2 band-aid on Ethereum,” the best “liked” animadversion in the altercation cilia reads.

Another acquaint on the appointment said that the ApeCoin DAO had annihilation to do with the Otherside activity and accordingly couldn’t adjudge on the abeyant clearing alike if it capital to. “[Otherside] is a Yuga activity and it’s not aural the ambit of this DAO to adjudge what technology they do or do not use for that,” they wrote.

Yuga Labs and Animoca Brands, the two companies abaft the Otherside project, accept not yet about aggregate any thoughts on Avalanche’s proposal.
