Como analista de cripto independente, tenho o hábito de prestar atenção estreita a projetos que evoluem não por promessas barulhentas, mas por trabalho sistemático que muitas vezes passa despercebido pelo mercado em geral. UNION é um desses casos, e esta não é a primeira vez que volto ao projeto em minhas análises. A atualização mais recente da equipe pode parecer técnica à primeira vista, mas são precisamente esses desenvolvimentos aparentemente pequenos que muitas vezes revelam a trajetória real de um projeto. Desta vez, o foco está na confirmação e extensão do seu Código LEI.
