I'm very interested in the Chainlink project ($LINK). Decentralized Oracles providing real-world data on-chain seems to me to be a no-brainer. A good example that's talked about is crop insurance. Aggregate regional rainfall within a certain geographical area from several different sources into a single value, that is then used to guarantee the terms of a smart contract seems to be a pretty useful thing. This type of use case is applicable to any number of decentralized financial products.
