Biggest takeaways from ETHDenver: - AI Agents Are Here to Stay – Speculative AI bots (like reply bot memecoins) are fading, but utility-driven ones (without tokens) will grow. AI lacks trust, blockchain lacks adoption—together, they help solve each other’s problems. - Too Many Chains, Not Enough dApps – New chains keep launching, but speed/fees aren’t key differentiators anymore. The real battle is attracting top dApps and users. - Zero-Knowledge Privacy – Transparency is valuable, but privacy is crucial for adoption. ZK tech enables trustless verification while keeping data confidential. ZKSync & Aztec stood out. - Stablecoins – One of crypto’s strongest use cases is finally getting its due. Expect stablecoins to dominate in 2025, driving innovation and adoption. - Farcaster – App distribution matters, and Farcaster is here to stay. Projects are using Frames to drive engagement and reach the right users.

>Too Many Chains, Not Enough dApps 100%, current situation reminds me of the video game industry just before console wars heated up - a lot of hardware without enough quality titles being published/ported to them and now we need a "nintendo" to step up!

Totally. Just as video game hardware needed strong marketing and distribution for its games, chains must also prioritize promoting the apps built on them. This is one reason I believe Farcaster can be such a valuable tool.
