The short version: three projects with complementary capabilities were competing for the same pool of AI-curious crypto investors, fragmenting attention and liquidity. The merger addresses that directly.

The fragmentation argument applies to more than just investor attention. Three separate grants programs, three separate hackathons, three separate conference presences, three separate developer relations teams.
