I’m genuinely curious to hear this from someone who’s clearly more in that world than I am - is anyone at all using Ethereum’s distributed nodes to do calculations for anything that isn’t some sort of abstract financial instrument? I ask because people constantly seem to tout the fact you can build anything with blockchains, and they’ll change the world, but I’ve never seen anything actually useful made with it beyond the dubiously valuable ability to transfer currency around the place.

ENS is my go to example for something novel and useful that Ethereum enables. Instantly propagating private key based DNS.
