Project Investigation of reddio

Understanding:

reddio is similar to imx, but its zkrollup is completely hidden from users. Users can only indirectly use reddio through the services provided by B enterprises. In the future, reddio is considering expanding its business and opening it up as a layer2 for users.

Is starkex application-specified?

Look at the background of the founder and team;
- Founder Neil HAN: https://twitter.com/neilhanyd
  - Internet technology background, joined We3 at the end of 2021, from Singapore
    - 15 years of Asia-Pacific and Middle East market experience in Singapore, 7 years of engineering experience, 8 years of GTM experience in developer markets. Third employee of Twilio in the Asia-Pacific region, former general manager of PingCAP in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Middle East regions
    - Initially encountered ICO, the resulting bubble made him cautious;
    - When NFT appeared, he also believed that it was just a hype, limited and faded in terms of audience and application scenarios
    - Many friends who do GameFi (chain games) started to seek cooperation with Neil
    - With the emergence and development of chain games, NFT and the entire Web3 world will take a big step into the mainstream Internet circle.
      - The attributes of NFT (non-fungible, rarity, etc.) are very suitable for games
      - Users truly own these game assets;
      - The value discovery of game assets (not the arbitrary issuance model of the traditional world)
    - Neil believes that the maturity and improvement of infrastructure technology are very important
      - The high transaction cost of Ethereum transfers the cost of this "backward" infrastructure to users
      - "Fortunately", there are expansion solutions, and Layer 2 has developed to the Turing-complete stage
    - There is great potential and imagination in the underlying construction, let's do it!
      - Neil believes that in the future, a large number of Internet developers will migrate from the Web2 world with their company's business. In the Web2 world, the number of global Internet technology personnel is conservatively estimated to be nearly 30 million, but in the Web3 world, the number of qualified smart contract development engineers worldwide does not exceed 50,000.
      - Neil believes that this talent gap will generate a huge demand for technical interfaces at the intersection of the two worlds in the future.
      - The entry point for entrepreneurship is also simple. I want to develop a set of API developer tools for front-end and back-end applications between Web2 and Web3. For Web2 developers, API is a language they are very familiar with, and API can also be used in Web3 world, including most scenarios driven by smart contracts
      - Neil believes that Chinese developers are crucial to the future development of the Web3 world and are currently the only country that can match the strength and quantity of European and American developers.
- Others
  - Neil flies back and forth to visit cutting-edge teams in the Web3 world offline, participate in major industry summits, and at the same time, he has also registered for Web3 courses at Stanford and MIT
