Well, patience needed but hopefully members will see huge positive changes (marketing!) quite soon. We listen to the æcommunity, and we know that you want more marketing and good stories, and we are in the process of finalising and launching positive changes soon.
Moreover, currently focus is on the Hyperchains and the fourth network update
But, let’s not forget the main topic of this thread - and, please, @haha @xixuesky @Winfield and other members, tell us your thoughts about applying you have on mind
Where are you from?
Geographically? Europe
Well, I thought you were Chinese
No, but working with our community from China closely! 
ae, this project, I participated in the investment since 4 years ago, and Mark are also good friends. We have witnessed some successful technical developments and shortcomings of the ae project. I will summarize the shortcomings I think and the possible ways to improve them.
The current bottleneck of the AE project is only one problem, that is, the traffic is too low and the technology has not been recognized by the market.
My point of view: AE has been under construction for 4 years. The AE project itself is still a start-up project and has not achieved actual success. The reason is that the market value is low and the number of participants in the ecological closed loop is relatively small.
How to improve the ecological closed loop? In the blockchain industry, there are two conventional methods. 1 The start-up team spends a lot of effort on promotion. 2. Rely on a strong community for promotion.
Promotion methods, including what others have said above, technical evangelism, and promotion in Ethereum or other developer communities. You can imitate AA, the early evangelist of Bitcoin, and update the video on youtou. AA preached that Bitcoin is a key to success. He has a lot of fans, and he often holds various offline conferences. We found that AE’s marketing department did very little on this point and basically relied on the community. The current AE developer community is very weak compared to other projects. Even when mark is in charge of the Chinese community, the AE community has not been exposed to the Chinese blockchain industry. People at the top of the pyramid. What I want to say is that we need to find a way to reach the blockchain industry. The people at the top of the pyramid are very important because they have a head effect and can really bring about change.
Whether it is a listing on Coinbase or contact with top figures in the blockchain industry, this can only be led by the team, assisted by the community, and the team’s marketing department. You need to spend more effort and even money here. As far as I know, there are some characters in the AE team who have such a relationship, which the community does not have.
From my personal 7 years of experience in the blockchain industry, when AE reaches a market value of 20 billion US dollars, the ecological closed loop is basically completed at this time, and team marketing becomes less important. Decentralization can be completed and handed over to the community. leading.
Yanny can see it, can she understand it
According to the AEVM you can have Sophia talk directly to EVM code.
I feel like this kind of stuff isn’t really well known by anyone.
I’m not trying to go off topic, i just understand the costs of getting on some exchanges and would like to see that kind of money investment go into making developers happy.
@erik.chain @hadees.chain My thought on this is, if we want to pull developers we need to pull them with better development tools which Ethereum / solidity already has. Now developing same for sophia is quite a task and time taking. Probably we can do this smartly. Like if we can build some sort of Language processing tools which can convert solidity code into sophia, that would be great. You can quickly onboard solidity developers on AE network.
I have noticed Lexon is trying to do somthing similar but not sure if their intention is same.
ETH is dying, devs and projects are jumping ship to other smart chains, great chance for ae to capitalise
The problem is not to advertise and pull.
good，good！
@inowhaveaename.chain according to what statistics?
From every stat i’ve seen its the opposite. Ethereum is still the largest dev community by far.
Ethereum isn’t going away, just like Bitcoin isn’t. We need to work with it not beat it.
According to gas/contract fee statistics
That only tells you that Ethereum contracts on the main chain are expensive.
But the EVM is here to stay. I doubt anything else is going to surpass the tooling it already has.
I’m a developer, and I hold a lot of Aeternity. I’d love nothing more than you to be correct but I just don’t see it. Look at Github statics, thats a better indication of developer involvement.
Hi @xuanyu ! until we have Rosetta integration , which is currently included in the roadmap, we can’t be eligible as it is a requirement to get listed on CB, once we have it we will start the listing process as detailed in their assets hub feature, in parallel to Rosetta integration we are advancing with compiling the bunch of documentation they request.
There are already news about ae in Rosetta
