A creative chronicle combining project history with imagined scenes. Story events are not verification of network activity.
Background: The studio is still rushing to finish the Iron Pigeon demo. Gas fees for an earlier test mint of card NFTs consumed 30% of the budget, so A-Zhen knows the pressure that on-chain deployment puts on spending.
Today: ETH passed USD 4,000. The team was busy with the product and demo and had yet to stop and address the costly infrastructure problem. The narrator noted the contrast: infrastructure was absurdly expensive, yet no one stopped to repair the road. A-Zhen proposed identifying which steps had to be on-chain and which could wait, so that not every feature would be pushed through an expensive deployment process.
Impact and next: A-Zhen’s proposal offered a way to make cost decisions for the demo, but it had not solved the infrastructure expense. The team still had to judge each step that needed completing now; how to balance the demo schedule with later work on the “road” remained unsettled.
