## Summary

Wijuwiju.eth announced that Interface, the consumer crypto app known as @interfacedapp, is shutting down after running in maintenance mode for the last half year. The author says the team could not find a sustainable path forward and failed to scale, despite a run since 2022 that included periods of profitability and a number of experiments. The post thanks early crowdfund supporters, the team, and investors, especially @polymorphiccap, and describes Interface as an experiment in a social network built by combining blockspace primitives in a mutual aid manner, many of which are no longer around.

Hi,

I'm shutting down @interfacedapp, it's been running in  maintenance mode for the last half a year  to free up some space and minimise the burn to survive and reflect what to do with it going forward, unfortunately I don't see a sustainable path forward.

I'm extremely grateful to everyone who's been supportive of us during our, what I would call a decent overall run since 2022, we had our ups and downs, iterated on a lot of novel ideas, wrote a lot of code with our actual hands, grew a bit, even for a period were profitable, then became complacent, over compromised couple of times and in the end failed to scale, nevertheless I'm very grateful for the opportunity and experience.

A sad day for me, but as the saying goes: "better late than never", it's time to close this chapter.

Thank you everyone who became part of this journey, our early crowdfund supporters and friends who suggested to pursue this idea, our incredible team with whom we've shipped great product for it's time, for our investors, especially @polymorphiccap who were the first to believe in us in a middle of a dead market.

I sure hope that Interface was a net positive, regardless of the end result one might rightly call – a failed experiment in consumer crypto – an experimented built on an idea what a social network could look like when it is built by combining together various blockspace primitives in a mutual aid manner, sadly many of these primitives are long gone, and now it is time for us to go too.

Thank you!

Yours wijuwiju.eth
