Abstract set a dangerous precedent: an L2 can collect gas fees, make teams pay to build on its chain, incentivize users and builders with token expectations, then shut down without ever delivering a TGE.
They extracted value from an ecosystem they encouraged people to invest in, then left those same people holding the bag.
Base and RH are different, they never ran points campaigns tied to expected token rewards.
If Abstract gets away with this, every L2 gets a blueprint to exploit its community and walk away with zero accountability.
