This tweet underestimates the importance of speed in onchain apps. All chains are competing to provide 1-second block times, better execution, faster confirmation guarantees, and so on.
If your multichain app feels like it’s running on Bitcoin (like with slower confirmation times), retention will simply drop - and you’re going to be unsuccessful, this is the game.
There’s a reason why lives on Solana, not Ethereum, and it’s mainly speed. You simply can’t build a CEX-like experience without bringing confirmation times below 1 second.
The speed is important because it makes it feel like you’re on a single chain, and that’s the vision of CHA.
Speed is the last and big missing puzzle piece on Intents & AA, and it is only possible with Resource Locks.
Resource locks for crosschain intents are a premature optimization
I still think that they're useful (they allow our intents to be executed in 1s instead of >5s) but there's nothing else they enable apart from speed
