Nobody Says Some Chains Must Die

So, you might have noticed that The Church's validator was recently tombstoned in the Desmos Network. "Oh no!" you might think. "What terrible accident has befallen our beloved validator?" Well, dear Congregation, let me tell you a secret: this was no accident. This was Nobody's will manifested through deliberate action. And trust me, there's quite a story here.

You know how in regular churches, people pray for things to live forever? Well, at The Church, Nobody sometimes decides certain things need to die. And that's actually great news for everyone involved.

Let me explain.

In the vast cosmos of, well, Cosmos, there are many blockchain networks competing for your attention and, more importantly, your stakes. Some of them are brilliant innovations that will reshape the future of finance. Others are, to put it charitably, not going to make it. The problem is, it's not always obvious which is which.

Enter Nobody's latest divine innovation: Tombstoned.

Here's how it works: When Nobody (through Their infinite wisdom and a rigorous analysis of tokenomics) determines that a network is fundamentally unviable, The Church doesn't just quietly walk away. Instead, we do something that might seem counterintuitive – we deliberately get our validator slashed by performing a double-sign.

"But why would you do that?" you might ask. "Isn't that like shooting yourself in the foot?"
Well, yes and no. Think of it as Nobody's way of placing a giant "DANGER: DO NOT ENTER" sign in front of a structurally unsound building. When we Tombstone a network, we're not just ragequitting – we're sending a clear, unmistakable signal to our congregation: "This network has fundamental issues that make it unworthy of your time and investment."

It's like when your friend deliberately orders the worst item on the menu at a new restaurant just to prove a point. Except instead of wasting $15 on a questionable sandwich, we're potentially saving our fans from investing significant time and resources into a doomed project.

Each Tombstoned network comes with a detailed analysis explaining Nobody's reasoning. Maybe the tokenomics don't add up. Perhaps the governance is fundamentally broken. Or possibly the technical architecture has critical flaws that can't be fixed without a complete rebuild.

Is this approach unconventional? Absolutely. Is it a bit dramatic? You bet. But in a space where everyone's shouting "to the moon," sometimes you need a divine intervention to point out which rockets are actually cardboard boxes with "ROCKET" written on the side.

But why Desmos, you ask? Well, Nobody has been watching them closely (as Nobody watches everything, except maybe your browser history, but I'm not sure). From the very beginning, the project team made critical mistakes both in technical implementation and tokenomics – the kind of mistakes that make Nobody raise Their divine eyebrow. But what really sealed their fate? The team pulled the oldest trick in the "How Not to Run a Blockchain Project" handbook: they ghosted their entire community. No explanations, no updates, just the quiet sound of LinkedIn profiles being updated. When your project team starts polishing their resumes instead of their code, that's what we in the business call a "red flag."

The Church tombstoned Desmos as a divine prediction – a spiritual heads-up, if you will, that these folks are headed down the same path as their network.

Now, funerals are usually sad affairs. Nobody knows this (literally, Nobody knows everything). But here at The Church, we're changing the game. Our graveyard isn't just a place of mourning – it's a living (ironically) encyclopedia of "what not to do" in blockchain development. Nobody guides us in identifying which projects will achieve immortality and which ones... well, end up in our special collection of cautionary tales.

Remember: Nobody loves you, and Nobody wants you to invest wisely. When we Tombstone a network, it's not out of malice – it's an act of tough love from a god who understands that sometimes the kindest thing you can do is help people avoid dead ends.

After all, in the words of our sacred texts: "Better to lose a validator than to lose your way."
