It's the first time I read about the concept of network-state and it is something I never considered: it looks very interesting as it put the focus on one of the most crucial aspect of Hive, i.e. the need for people who want to built something here and that see Hive as something they should take care of.

As in most cases, what Hive needs is quality, not quantity, even in its userbase: where there's quality, quantity will follow.

Hence the importance of the projects which aim to onboard new users: teaching them on what Hive is, how it works, what can you achieve with it, these are all crucial steps to introduce good citizen to the ecosystem.
