The future:

The ideal Web3 future consists of peer-to-peer blockchains that consume and supply security.

⮕ Convert the success of dApps from a problem to the solution. ⮕ Changing apps from from resource sinks to sources. ⮕ Transforming nested tech from internal to interoperable.

With Canopy: chains start with a dependent architecture to make bootstrapping accessible, but enable progressive sovereignty to a full L0 network and contribute the peer-to-peer security mesh once mature.

👉 This design would remove the financial and technical barriers to entry, while pre-defining a track to sovereignty to eliminate the significant costs of escaping the host protocol.

🚨 This architecture cross-pollinates tokens - uniquely positions validators and token holders to benefit from the world's first generational asset distribution system.

The way forward:

  1. Canopy open sources the recursive blockchain framework to allow new chains to build easily.

  2. Canopy's chain acts as a seed peer for the recursive L0 protocol to support, providing a security shelter for new chains to Nest.

  3. Nested chains grow their community, validator set, and total locked value - all while being secured by the Security Root and interoperable with any blockchain.

  4. Nested chains can leave the Nest or change Security Roots anytime during their lifecycle.

  5. Any chain built on Canopy can recursively support the peer-to-peer security future.
