The Digital Standard Networking Protocol (DSNP) and its ambitious backer, Frank McCourt, have recently made headlines with plans to acquire TikTok, but a closer look reveals a troubling reality. Despite years of development and tens of millions of dollars in funding, DSNP remains shockingly underdeveloped, embodying a classic case of vaporware. While the intentions behind DSNP and Project Liberty are commendable, their execution falls woefully short, marked by minimal progress and a lack of essential features, leaving many to question how so much effort and investment could yield so little.
