The next phase of the Ethereum will be dominated by powerful economic zones. You can see them rising. Base, Unichain, Zora = Superchain zkSync, Cronos, Lens = Elastichain Polygon, Immutable, Ronin = Agglayer Taiko, Puffer, Spire = Based Ethereum These economic zones will have seamless integration and unified liquidity - they'll feel borderless. Each zone will compete and also trade with the others, each specialized in areas where they have a comparative advantage. Some rollups will remain independent but many will join an economic zone for the growth and liquidity benefits. This combinatorial soup of apps vs apps within chains vs chains within zones vs zones competing and cooperating all within Ethereum will create a fractaled primordial soup of creative destruction that would leave Schumpeter in awe.

ETH will be the only credibly neutral and trustless store of value across it all. ETH is money. This next phase of Ethereum is not even the final form. Eventually, these economic zones will unify into a federated but shared pool of global liquidity, security, and integration across a unified Ethereum which preserves the best elements of cooperation and competition. Open source permissionless and decentralized economies are unstoppable. Ethereum will grow like the internet. None of the above depends on "projects doing the right thing" it is simply the result of selection pressures forcing competition and cooperation. Ethereum is a substrate for internet economies. You are not bullish enough.

But is Polygon dead? Feels like Polymarket is the only thing meaningful on Polygon right now.

this is visionary, and ETH is/will become money as a result of it, not bc it's the starting point. Right now, the digital gas analogy resonates more given the stage we are in. Economic blocks like the EU have the Euro, so the federated chains of ethereum will have ETH.
