Farcaster is a fine demonstration in why you don't need strict global consensus and public blockchains for most things, but at the same time, they can prove valuable for 1 or 2 things

I hope to see more hybrid applications that are significantly better by minimizing blockchain usage only to strict global consensus

Even worse, applications can be explicitly *harmed* by trying to shoehorn everything into strict global consensus

E.g. in DeFi, using a blockchain cedes privacy + ordering, resulting in MEV

Excited for hybrid DEXes (e.g. Renegade - p2p mpc trading network that merely settles to blockchains in zero knowledge)
