While I’m for adding an option for ERC20 or another platform that’s much nimbler than Omni for MAID tokens, MAID is only a placeholder rather than a functional token, so it’s not as important as for a project like Tether, where they want people to be transacting regularly.
Your critique of the SAFE network brand isn’t very compelling. Do you have any reason that you think SAFE is a poor brand?
I’m sure people will be willing to discuss whether there are other branding options that are better.
For fun, I suggest ‘Automated Resource Security Engine’, or anything better with the acronym ARSE. Tagline: ‘the ultimate back end’.
Reasoning: the Safe network is the ultimate back end for websites and apps, that enables data apps without handling user data (avoid GDPR etc), finance apps without handling user funds (avoid FCA / SEC etc), and app/website hosting with no ongoing infrastructure cost (compete with the big boys without a big budget).
It would make people realise that the Safe network is more than distributed data storage - it’s a platform with very broad capabilities.
I don’t think an ARSE coin currently exists, and it would be a fun & silly publicity move.
Seriously though, I think the SAFE network brand is decent and functional, though I’m no marketing expert, and could imagine that a rebrand might be able to shift people’s perception to the scope of the network beyond data storage.
