as Havenos newly appointed community manager I'll chime in and say cake has done pretty well so far and while there are some things one could point at and say "cake bad", in my opinion there was never any obvious malicious stuff and the drama that did happen, they have always handled very well.

After the "zcash in cakewallet" drama they made a whole nother app just for monero-only people. They already know how to make mobile wallets so taking 250k to make one for zcash isnt something insanely unthinkable or morally corrupt.
They got the monero.com domain and while you can think of the website & name whatever you want, they have been listening to community input. Of course they need to at least recoup the 400k they spent on the domain and cant just hand it over to core for free. Still better than having the domain owned by an outsider and potentially bought up by zcorp or something to put fake news about monero on.

adding everything up, id say cake has so far had a massive positive impact on the whole Monero ecosystem and im glad we have them around. as long as they dont go rouge and keep at it how they have, there shouldnt be any major problems.

i also think they will have a massive positive impact on Haveno development. Starting with funding the rest of the UI.
even though i dont think they will add it to cakewallet (trades on Haveno are a lot more clunky and slow than on something like Serai), they might make a seperate mobile app for it or do other things that wouldnt have been possible otherwise.

call me a corpo shill but that's my opinion on cake.

(my fucking cakewallet + monerocom wallet keep crashing whenever i go to the "receive" tab. on pixel 6 pro, fix yo shit vik)
