Haven't seen anyone else building something similar to "interoperability". If this sector can take off, the scaling landscape will change.

8 Quick Thoughts After EthCC:

1) Stablecoins are back, pay attention to Gyroscope Protocol (ECLP is just the beginning), and @hexonaut helped me understand the final rules of the game.

2) @LucemansNL and @v3xlabs have created the best product using ENS x POAP NFC name badges. I am bullish on this.

3) Ethereum Layer will not monopolize EVM. L2 is preparing to expand EVM and add more features (EIP-7212). We hope to see Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and other efforts to promote the development of EVM in a user-friendly direction.

4) Haven't seen anyone else building something similar to "interoperability". If this section can be developed, the expansion pattern will change.

5) ERC-6551: Lens Protocol may be the only project mentioned at this conference that talks about ERC-6551, which will be the next huge unlock for NFTs.

6) EIP-4337 is just the beginning of the account abstraction. Instadapp, Patch Wallet, and Biconomy are challenging Safe's early leadership position in the contract wallet field. EIP-7212 will unlock more features, and we were lucky enough to see it early from the doganeth+ team. A better user experience is coming soon.

7) While everyone is pushing out their own "application chain stack", I noticed some shortcomings between enterprises. I hope to eventually see competition between Layer2 teams and Quorum in business, rather than arguing to death on Twitter.

8) Can a brand name alone win the market? Uniswap X is Cowswap, and the project is moving towards the Frax/Aave model. Chainlink CCIP is LayerZero. I believe Uniswap and DAI will dominate their markets. LayerZero has deeply rooted itself in the industry through the OFT and ONFT standards, making it difficult to replace.
