Aeternity themselves are working to build a layer of core Aepps for network launch. This is a really interesting approach and can be seen as a way to kickstart the network with some utility from the start. Alot of blockchains launch to a tiny number of transactions per day, this could help avoid that for Aeternity. It’s an opposite approach from the Ethereum Foundation who have opted to focus primarily on the protocol infrastructure (although they do give grants to higher level projects, e.g. Balance & ENS)
Pros
- Aeternity is designed to be mobile first, meaning that it’s designed so that mobiles find it easy to interact with. Consumers are increasingly choosing to use mobile apps over web apps so this approach certainly makes sense.
Cons
- AE currently exists as an ERC20 token on Ethereum. They plan to migrate to their mainnet in Q2 2018 (hey, that’s now!). The mainnet should be launched soon although I think it’s probable it will be Q3 2018. Aeternity currently has a testnet called Epoch. The development team makes frequent updates on medium and have been very busy writing code.
