I'm excited about Earn 2.0 launching bc it's a win:win.

Wrote a brief listicle on how onchain startups can sprint with @splits and not have to worry about ops complexity after the fact.
TLDR: Its easy to segment funds today, add complexity later, and Splits just handles all the edge cases like accounting and compliance on day one.
