🎯 The Ultimate Proof: When your own infrastructure runs on the technology you're selling

🤔 The Strategic Decision

Question: Should Symphony's infrastructure components (Pool Management, DAG Tracking, Artifact Storage, Arbitration) be built as internal extension blocks or traditional built-in components?

Answer: Build them as internal extensions with controlled access - turning infrastructure development into the ultimate marketing weapon.
