The field of crypto presents us with a historically unprecedented opportunity to see rapid institutional evolution.
New voting systems and community management systems are tested live, and institutional innovation will supercharge economic growth.
The cryptoeconomic stack consists of telecom hardware, layer 1 blockchains, fungible and nonfungible tokens, decentralized autonomous networks (DAOās), and tooling. Fast copy innovation via forking creates an ecosystem of competing blockchains and tokens which rapidly iterates.
