Just strapping together the first providers on #LinqProtocol $LNQ

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

I answered a question that came up in TG but figured I'd share this for all $LNQ holders to understand our perspective: So I've been programming SaaS apps for a long time and I've been playing with AI coding tools since pre-cursor GPT3.5 era and I was experimenting with those models writing code etc way back. We've also been shipping production software with and without AI over the course of the last 2 years. When we built Marketr it cost us like 12 months and almost 10 devs UI/UX designers. That was not even 2 years ago. Today I reckon I need 2 devs and a month to build a product like that from scratch. I've watched non-technical people do really impressive things via coding agents, things they have no right being able to do without deep technical knowledge. So do I think SaaS is dead and there's 0 money in it? No, of course there still will be. But development cost for simple-to-medium applications have fallen -70-90% and so I expect this is have an enormous impact on SaaS even if just by means of explosive competition for every niche/app. I have said this before but like if you're buying into projects for more than $200 you should sincerely watch a tutorial on claude code and try and use a $200/mo plan with claude to literally see if claude can build the software behind the project you're buying into. I can imagine to people who haven't been watching this evolution so closely that this suggestion sounds like a fools errand but I would bet you would be incredibly surprised. The thing is also SaaS is harder to moat than ever - the code itself is worth very very little as it can be replicated and rebuilt so quickly. Some code is still very hard to write, as in claude will not one shot Render or Akash or LinqProtocol (although I think businesses who want to survive the next 5 years need to seriously be thinking about how to protect their company in the case even complex code like LP is one-shottable in 2032) - but some code is no longer hard to write, and a lot of projects consistent primarily of this with 0 idea about how to build a moat around themselves. So 'SaaS is dead' is likely a bit hyperbolic, but you cannot drop the cost of development this much in a financial ecosystem and not expect a crazy phase shift in what the SaaS space looks like in a few months to years. We've always tried our best to look ahead not to the problems of today but the problems we'll have next year. I couldn't tell you how happy I am we went all in on LP - it may well have been the most important decision this project has ever made. There's tons of opportunity in the new AI era and this is where our focus is.

Decentralized compute is incredibly complex, the sheer scale of economic and software innovation required to make it even semi-comparable to centralised solutions is insane. I can count on one hand the projects that even stand a real chance and LP is one of them.

We are redefining the developer provider relationship. LinqProtocol enables on chain payments between developers and compute providers, removing centralized intermediaries entirely. Direct. Secure. Scalable. 💻 Powered by #LinqProtocol

"Your request is in the queue." ✋ In the centralized world, you're a ticket number. In the decentralized world, you're a participant. LinqProtocol replaces gatekeepers with smart contracts and transparent onchain settlement. Compute becomes open infrastructure. 🚪 #LinqProtocol
