| If you are an optimist, HN is not the right place to have a "pro" discussion imo. I will outline products that i'm most excited about or use regularly . 1. Decentralized exchanges: Uniswap.org, projectserum.com. 2. Stablecoins, especially USDC. I get paid for my consulting in USD from US to India with a tx fee of $0.00025 on Solana. I'm saving a lot compared to using PP/Payoneer. 3. Supporting artists I love with NFT on foundation/ opensea/magic eden(for some reason I never did this before although there are web2 sites for it). 4. Generate yield on your stable coins. I wont mention apps here since they are new and have some smart contract risks to it, DYOR. 5. Creator monetisation using unlock-protocol.com and mirror.xyz. 6. Play to earn models in games(Axie infinity and Aurory). 7. Internet native experiments on inclusive sybil resistant identities(proofofhumanity.id) 8. Crypto powered infrastructure networks (helium.com) 9. Inflation resistant currency/Digital gold(Bitcoin & lightning network). 10. Censorship resistant social media. |
