Many SNS projects seem to be running out of funds. None reached a sustainable business model. So is easy to guess what is going to happen with the team/s. Maybe Dfinity could support these teams, currently shutting down, to become schools of “how to do a game in the IC”, “how to do AI in the IC”, “how to do DEFI in the IC”, “how to do chain fusion in the IC”, and so on. and perhaps some of the students will be able to take over or at least use the baselines as a way to speedup their developments. ---

bob.fun is a best project, no sns, but in NNS control, maybe you should check it and hold it! ---

Honestly, I don’t blame dfinity for not wanting to fund these projects. Looking at how much a lot of these projects raised, when they were created, and their current status treasuries. Is there any profitable SNS in the eco system currently? Truly curious, on others thoughts, perhaps I’m missing something but it looks awful. ---

Kinic is completely overlooked by most of the community.. Hundreds of people using it weekly.. user controlled AI memory use-case drops jaws every time i share it with people. Just did a tour in NYC talking about it at various events and office.. 100% conversion rate. It will likely never run out of funding because its clearly a “must-have” and people just ‘get it’. Many of the SNS… no idea! Ask their founders. > [@Reviving the SNS Framework: Addressing Current Challenges and Exploring Solutions](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/reviving-the-sns-framework-addressing-current-challenges-and-exploring-solutions/59196/18): > > Fellow builders, the hour of reckoning is upon us. The entire SNS system stands frozen—waiting. Waiting for ONE to break through. [Kinic](https://www.kinic.io/) and a handful of others stand at the precipice of victory or oblivion. But let me be clear about what I see on the battlefield: the “Balancer” Extension is mercy killing. It’s a slow bleed-out for DAOs that should have already fallen. These wounded soldiers cannot be saved by life support — they must be relieved of duty. ICPSwap? They’ve reached escape veloc… ---

Awesome, I appreciate the response. Definitely will look into it more. Thank you! I’ll circle around with you if I have more questions if that is okay? ---

Maybe Dfinity could support these teams, currently shutting down, to become schools of “how to do a game in the IC”, “how to do AI in the IC”, “how to do DEFI in the IC”, “how to do chain fusion in the IC”, and so on. and perhaps some of the students will be able to take over or at least use the baselines as a way to speedup their developments. Dfinity should absolutely NOT help them. A team that cant make good stuff and used stuff ( like most SNSs ) dont deserve more money.
