Every crypto app that works at scale has a sync problem underneath.
Keeping database state consistent with onchain state is one of the hardest infrastructure problems in the stack.

Why does building a web2 app keep getting easier, while building onchain feels harder every year?
People can now vibe code real products in hours. Onchain development still has you navigate a complex stack before you can even start.

Transparency in crypto often stops at dashboards. Not here.
Today, the Syndicate Network Collective (DUNA) published its Q4 2025 financials—a full accrual-basis report from a decentralized network operating under U.S. law.

Most onchain games rely on outside oracles for randomness, which slows things down and ties the game to external systems.
@clankermon took a different path.
Their appchain uses randomness built directly into the sequencer, so the game can react instantly and reliably.

Every serious crypto protocol depends on a database—not as a fallback or a workaround, but as the system that tracks live state, applies logic, and keeps everything moving between blocks.
We just don’t like to admit it. ↓

You can run code offchain and remove control.
You can run code onchain and still concentrate it.
Decentralization isn’t about where code runs.
It’s about who controls it.

hot take:
going onchain shouldn’t mean rewriting your stack, learning new languages, or running bespoke infra.

“Everything onchain” is a comforting idea. It’s also not how most high performance crypto protocols work.
Perp DEXs, order books, and prediction markets don’t run fully onchain—because they can’t.
Here's why ↓

Most high-value crypto apps begin as offchain databases.
Force a full rewrite into smart contracts and you cap throughput on day one. Design around the database, and 1M TPS is within reach.

Not sure we should tell our friends at the holiday party that most perp DEXs rely on offchain systems for speed...

The grant application process for the Syndicate Network Collective is now open—the first DUNA to launch both voting and grants.
If you’ve built something for the network and want to get funded, or you’re building an appchain, apply now.

“Just rewrite it in smart contracts” is like saying “just rewrite your backend.”
It doesn’t have to be that way.
