The future of ATOM may not lie in direct competition with other public chains. Instead of investing huge resources to build competitiveness in public chains, it might be better to consider licensing the technology to potential strategic buyers or large funds, allowing them to develop this system. After all, a purely competitive environment in crypto may not be beneficial for ATOM's development. The project is now at a critical crossroads—whether to continue competing fiercely within the crypto ecosystem or to shift towards technology licensing and collaboration. From a certain perspective, the logic of crypto competition may conflict with ATOM's long-term vision. This is a strategic turning point worth serious consideration.
