#1: DESO is a database of Who Said What

While the last couple of cycles have seen the dominance of General Purpose Blockchains like Eth, DeSo is starting the paradigm of application specific blockchains

While the integrated approach won in the first generation blockchains and the modular in the second, it's time to place bets on which approach will win the third.

While modular approaches offer the promise of building on existing L1s, integrated approaches offer ease of use
