Table 2 - Honest Weaknesses

WeaknessWhy It MattersOur Plan
Ethereum ecosystem not servedENS, Lens, and Farcaster have massive moats on Ethereum. We cannot win there in the short term.Focus on Avalanche dominance first; multi-chain expansion in Year 2 only after proving the model.
Developer ecosystem is nascentLens has 300+ apps built on it. SOCI4L has zero external integrations today.SDK launch in Year 1; developer grants program; open API with generous free tier.
No decentralized data storage yetSocial graph (follows, blocks) lives in our PostgreSQL database - centralized.On-chain social graph portability planned for Year 2. Transparency about this trade-off in the interim.
Community governance is 3 years outENS and Lens are already community-governed. SOCI4L is currently a company-controlled product.Publish governance roadmap; move incrementally with community polls and advisory votes before formal governance.
Relatively unknown brandENS and DeBank have brand recognition that took years to build.Avalanche hackathon origin gives us credibility; focus on builder community where word-of-mouth is fast.
AVAX price dependencyRevenue denominated in AVAX means USD revenue swings with token price.Build premium subscription base in AVAX to create a natural hedge; maintain cost discipline.
