My hottest take is we don't need any more protocols written. 

The next frontier is finding novel combinations of existing protocols for good applications.

Revnet

Founder, designer, & product guy at /basepaint and /eigenlayer

would you consider /revnet a new protocol or a novel combination of existing protocols?

When there's legit breakthroughs (ZKPs for example) the field reopens, but yea, I'd argue for defi and nft stuff, we've pretty well explored the geography.

disclaimer: I read revnet whitepaper iiiin spring of 2024? so its a bit hazy in terms of how it works specifically but

0. revnet been around for a minute, no? 
1. remember it being a mix of both but with a lot of novel mechanisms
2. breakthroughs can equal technological (ZKPs) _or_ regulatory. I do think Revnets as one of the newer frontiers once regulatory clarity settles and we can think seriously about profit-bearing tokens. 
   2.1 would probs also add "viable onchain business" as another innovation that hasn't really been settled yet. number of viable businesses onchain are a handful, so I think you have to solve profitable first before you can settle on final form for business-profit bearing tokens.
