When evaluating the blockchain space, it is no different from the Web from an implementation perspective. It boils down to 3 interrelated segments: 

	1.	Infrastructure 
	2.	Services (on top of Infra)
	3.	Apps (on top of Services)

Where are we in each (% readiness & completion) and which success / growth factors are key? 

	1.	Infrastructure: Adoption, Tools, Openness, Performance. 50-70%
	2.	Services: Standards, Ease of Use. 10-20% 
	3.	Apps: User experience, Value, Network Effects. 1-5% 

Some principles: 
Decentralization, Cost Effectiveness and Security are table stakes. 
Community is just a means to an end. 
Users matter more than community. 
Services must reach non-tech users, not just developers. 
Apps must bring something new we couldn’t do with Web2.

No coding needed–just pure strategic thinking. Its like Shopify for DeFi.

Agreed. 
I’d love to see more middleware that is geared to the non-tech user, ie empower regular business users to create / build / assemble or just use.

Nice breakdown. DeFi is the perfect example - we've got solid L1/L2 infra but are still early on services that make it accessible.

The gap between infrastructure and actual user-facing products is where the next wave of innovation needs to focus.
