Top-tier VC a16z recently released a report with core viewpoints that are quite thought-provoking: the next phase of the crypto industry is no longer about competing over whose new blockchain is fastest.
They believe the real growth opportunities lie here: how technology truly changes market dynamics, how computational infrastructure evolves, how media formats get reshaped. Zero-knowledge proof and similar technologies are dropping in cost, and won't just be used in blockchain—other industries will be competing to adopt them. There's also emerging new tactics like "staking media"—using crypto tools to make commitments and incentives verifiable.
In other words, the narrative is shifting from "infrastructure stacking" to "actual applications and value extraction." Whoever can first build strong communities at the application layer and create genuine use cases will easily occupy the track. Projects in the Ethereum ecosystem that emphasize community participation are perfectly positioned at this inflection point.
What's your take? Which directions are most likely to spawn opportunities?
