Our take
Mysten Labs has been created with the ambition to build a blockchain comparable to Ethereum or Solanan but with even greater capabilities. That means tackling ‘pain points’ currently found in blockchain technology like scaling transactions and speed to meet growing demand.
To do this, Mysten is building foundational infrastructure for web3 to tackle these challenges and accelerate development and adoption of decentralized services. The startup is determined to build a platform that finally lets Web3 developers focus on UI, accelerating adoption, without compromising on security and other areas through Layer 2 and Layer 3 platforms.
The company is now focused on expanding partnerships with existing networks such as Ethos and Orange Comet Partners that integrate Mysten technology, and open protocols based on Mysten-designed components.
One of the startup’s focuses has been on developing a next-generation NFT platform. However, that market has come under increasing scrutiny in recent times. Ensuring that the startup assigns developer and community outreach resources in the right places will be crucial to building a sustainable business.
