There is certainly some overlap between ODESI and LiquidAppsIO. I think what distinguishes us the most from LiquidAppsIO is that we want to offer features to developers that make their app better and of course that we're not just building a second layer, but a first layer as well which we believe will be superior to existing offerings. But whether features are powered by a blockchain or not is irrelevant to 99% of developers. Some of our features will happen to be powered by blockchain, but we're not going to lead with that because most developers don't care. They want features, not blockchains. The approach that projects like LiquidAppsIO take is that they assume developers want to integrate blockchains and only blockchains. I think that scares away 99% of devs and deprives them of access to valuable features (those that don't need or belong on a blockchain).
The other things that differentiates us is that we are building both our base layer and second layer in tandem which enables us to optimize these products for one another. We believe we are going to bring something very special to market in Koinos, and ODESI will benefit tremendously from tight integration with that protocol. Of course, if LiquidAppsIO decides they want to integrate Koinos as well, all the better :)
