What’s a fundamental non-currency infrastructure affordance of blockchains that can’t be delivered with web2 or older stacks easily? A near-example is NFTs bought on one site showing up on another, which you can’t do in web2 (closest is walled garden/game badges). Things like this but more infrastructurey in flavor, and neither finance related, nor fun and games. Maybe like DeFi for nonFi things?

reputation scores/ratings (can argue this also fits into the NFT example you shared). blockchains allow these to be verifiable and composable, allowing devs to leverage across any apps. this can't be delivered in web2 cause of proprietary data, opaque algos/compute.
