You make good points, but you could do so without insulting the team.
Give them a break; they’ve just been digging really deep get uploads & downloads working again, which was rightly the top priority. They only delivered the fix to that this week, so making demands from your armchair as soon as they’ve delivered fantastic work seems poor form.
But yeah, an exchange on Autonomi for Native Autonomi assets would be fantastic, and I agree that Native Token development should get some real focus as soon as the network is functioning (which it now is).
By exchange do you mean a swap mechanism, e.g. a bridge between ERC20 and Native ANT?
If so, there’s a thread about bridging ideas here, which you may have missed: https://forum.autonomi.community/t/native-autonomi-tokens-erc20-2-way-bridging-ideas
Now that the network has functioning upload & download, hopefully Native token work will get a higher priority before long.
Bridging will be essential, but I guess work can’t really start on that until there’s a tried & tested native token standard that a bridge can be built for. The ERC20 side is a known quantity.
Back in the day the PDC guys did some proof-of-concept wallet & token creation work, which was cool. Something like that with the new data types would be great to see.
