What is the demand and need for state channels and other scaling methods in the current market? Is the NEED for scaling still very high or is scaling still something on the deep horizon from a platform development point of view? We don’t appear there yet with apps draining all the resources of the bottom layer chain on a regular basis.

The need for scaling is certain and rising over time. The current performance of blockchain cannot fulfill the commercial requirement of mass adoption. Only a few projects have been implemented, but none is a killer app. Ordinary application will certainly not consume all the resources. As the significance of blockchain is going beyond pure speculation on exchanges, more demand will be unleashed for scaling in micropayment and IoT industry.

Trinity is making every effort to tap the potential of the technical innovation. However, there are multiple external factors to the progress of the whole project, such as community support, policy orientation, and the market environment. At the end of 2017, many fraud ICOs broke out and absconded with money, which brought the industry nasty consequence. The bearing of the market also demotivated the developers as the FUD started spreading from part of speculators in the community.

Nonetheless, we are devoted to the technical development and deliver products punctually following the roadmap. The current demand for state channels is quite high. We can actually benefit from the cooling market and consider the implementation of the whole plans more comprehensively. We hope that the community will support us as they always have been and together help Trinity succeed.
