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.

Idk I think we’re only one bonding curve parameter away from the promised decentralized future. Just gotta deploy this one last protocol

It's clearly the rails that need the work, and not the trains.

"Consumer Crypto" contracts should be summarized in 3 bullet points or less

If it takes more than that to explain, it's probably an elaborated ponzi

Passionate about DAOs.

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.

I kinda agree, sometimes it feels like the 80/20 of onchain protocols is already solved

Revnet

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.

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

Generally agree 

The infra is good enough to build good performant applications.  We need more apps.

We need to Conways Game of Life the protocols ;)
