Sunset Inter Protocol and Begin Wind-Down Process

It’s sad to see a good, useful product with what I consider to be an excellent, clever realization being scrapped. The probably causal low demand is probably also due to the low level of awareness. I don’t think this is a good decision at this point in time. Are you also in communication with Stride, for me the IST Vaults are currently one of the most important use cases for their liquid staked assets, perhaps this cooperation can be intensified. After the disaster at KUJI, this would be a great opportunity for Inter Protocol or, in the event of discontinuation, a severe loss of functionality for some Cosmos Defi users. Before a capitulation, I would first try to increase fees and try to make Inter protocol at least cost-neutral, as I see it as a flagship for Agoric and at least for me it was the only reason to hold larger holdings in BLD. Perhaps one could also strategically consider an alternative to a USD pegged stablecoin, especially in view of the expected ongoing USD weakness, similar to Silk. I would find it a great pity to lose such a useful product from a user perspective in an admittedly difficult market phase, as the maintenance costs should be bearable compared to the initial development costs. Better marketing and possibly a co-operation with Drop and Stride could significantly improve visibility and profitability. Is there no alternative to the shutdown?
