I think what Xion as a project doing is what exactly most of the project needed to address.
abstraction is needed for the average people to be able to adopt cryptocurrencies, no more overly complicated interface for the average people, speaking from my experience, the people who never interacted with blockchain in general and aren't too tech savvy already gets overwhelmed by using metamask, or any other desktop wallet, they see it as a big wall that prevents them from adopting crypto.
I think more and more project need to put more attention into this, if it's innovation for blockchain like security and scalability, I think too much project already offered such solution that the market is so full of L1 blockchain with its own unique capability but it gets old already.
the market is stagnating, especially for alt market, adoption from big retailer across the globe by eliminating abstraction is the way.
I think you typo'd or something on that last part as overall you seem to be favouring abstraction rather than suggesting it be eliminated.
In favouring it you are probably very right, isn't that afterall what the whole push toward ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) is all about, abstracting-away all the complexities of crypto to offer a standard package just like all the pre-existing standard packages all the retirement funds and such are used to?
We have seen, too, how things like Microsoft's "Windows" hold greater market share by abstracting away underlying details, or even in Linux et al how so many users resist the "command line" yet somehow muddle by using GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces).
