One of my favorite ideas re: consumer crypto development is from "Product-led protocol development" from @dwr.eth 
https://danromero.org/product-led-protocols.html

TLDR: 
To successfully develop a new protocol, start by building a high-quality initial application that attracts a significant number of engaged users, which will in turn draw developer interest and encourage diverse, thriving client ecosystems.

To take this a step further, how can you extend your protocol with new differentiating features beyond just a smart contract on some execution environment?

This is one of the things /eigenlayer enables.

If the principles of watercolor are reversed, the principles of oil paint are obtained.  I know this clearly in the techniques of so-called open space paintings. This type of Alaprima painting is said to be done without using paint or glaze, which the painter finishes in one session.

Painting on objects is a new and modern art

Amidst the fluttering pages of the open book, a whimsical world unfurls—a solitary tree perched on a floating island, butterflies pirouetting, and celestial bodies winking in the dark expanse above. It's as if imagination and knowledge intertwine, whispering secrets across realms.

Today we’re announcing that @a16zcrypto is leading an $80M Series B financing of PIP Labs, developer of @storyprotocol.

Story is a blockchain protocol that allows creators to register their IP so they can track and monitor use, protecting their legal and economic rights. The goal is to create foundational infra that can underpin a new economic covenant between creators and platforms.

The team behind Story has deep tech and creative expertise. CEO/cofounder @s-y-lee has impressed us with big-picture vision and world-class tactical execution. Cofounder @jasonzhao  studied CS at Stanford, dove deeper into AI at DeepMind, and now leads technical development on Story.

For AI systems and creative people to happily co-exist, creators need a modern way to ensure they get compensated for their work. Story takes a proven approach — IP law — and updates it for the age of AI.

We are excited to support the Story team on this important mission.

This is the most ludicrous raise I've seen since the dotcom bubble

IP law is highly subjective and can never achieve objective strict global consensus - the *only* feature of blockchains

I've discussed this topic at length across multiple blog posts
