Links:
Public crypto infrastructure: Building a fee-less marketplace and/or open-source software; and doing so in a financially valuable manner, such as a positive expected value lottery
Global access to capital: Connecting non-crypto borrowers with restricted access to capital, to deep onchain liquidity, such as peer-to-peer cash advances.
Zero knowledge proof applications: SaaS to enable trustless and private whistleblower programs, streamline verifications of airline status matching, etc.
User-owned platforms: Vampire attacking a web2 platform that doesn’t reward its top users, with a capital-efficient go-to-market strategy, such as Stack Overflow for web3 devs
Feed and algorithm control: Controlling the content you view, eg. Only happy content, filter out political content, prioritize launch announcements, deprioritize threads via a Farcaster (Twitter alternative) feed customizer.
Consumer crypto: Making fun activities more lucrative, or turning money-making activities into fun. What apps, with leaderboards and competitive audiences, can we add money into?
Intents: Outsourcing execution of any asset or transaction, to anybody
Stablecoins and instant cross-border settlement: Providing banks and remittance providers with instant settlement and no float, without them integrating stablecoins or crypto
Open-source bank infrastructure: What if the backend of every bank was a protocol?
