Hot take 🌶️ Permissionless is not enough. If a web3 business/project can't be "hijacked"/cloned/adapted/build-upon by another one than it probably isn't "full" web3.

That’s called composability afaik, and it’s the reason why Ethereum flies.

Yeah, I see composability as the software protocol choices for the building blocks of my app for instance. But my app itself needs to be adaptable by others. You should be able to take it, modify it and propose any new services to your niche users or use cases.

I see. That’s different from composability indeed. I have a crazy take for that. There should be a permissionless plugins system to extend apps. Most probable candidate is some kind of WASM or hardened JS like in MetaMask Snaps. Might look like Figma plug-ins.Technically I see no problem to make it real.

The major question for me is if you build that kind of (universal) plugin system, so that devs do not re-implement it every time, how would you capture value.

Yeah right! I have no solution about that, I guess those are the same problems open source had to convince people in the early times. Philosophically I believe those that truly provide value consistently over time will gain trust Vs copycats or large entities appropriating existing apps/ecosystems
