The initial integration cost of an identity authentication system is very low, but once it becomes the foundation of the entire process, it becomes extremely difficult to dismantle and rebuild.
idOS_network happens to be in such a position. On-chain business involves user onboarding, permission management, compliance checks, and data flow—identity authentication is intertwined, gradually evolving into the "load-bearing wall" of the entire ecosystem. Once it takes on this role, a small change can cause a chain reaction; any replacement or removal will trigger a series of consequences.
This is also why the choice of Web3 infrastructure is crucial. Although it may seem simple and straightforward at the beginning, the migration costs in later stages can be enough to cause the entire project to stumble.

That's so true. Choosing the wrong infrastructure is like digging your own grave, and by then, it'll be too late to regret.

Basically, if you bet right, it's infrastructure; if you bet wrong, it's a ticking time bomb.

In plain terms, idOS is now trapped by its own architecture. It was quick to develop initially, but now it has become a "load-bearing wall" that can't be changed, which is a classic example of technical debt.

This is just the old trick of technical debt—easy upfront, but full of pitfalls later on.

This is a classic "technical debt trap," rushing early on leads to huge losses later.

This is the true portrayal of technical debt; choosing the wrong infrastructure is like digging a hole for yourself.
