Web3 Use Cases: The Future

Will web3 justify the hype?

 
What’s the point of all of this? If web3 ends up becoming a big thing with a lot of users and new, valuable business models, so what?

On Thursday, I wrote about the web3 use cases that exist today to set a baseline:

  • NFTs: $31.3 billion of volume in the past year on OpenSea alone
  • Decentralized Exchanges: the leading DEX, Uniswap, has handled over $1T in volume
  • DeFi Protocols: Compound, Maker, Aave, and other DeFi lending protocols have held up well during the sell-off while centralized DeFi lenders have struggled
  • Real-World Lending: Goldfinch and Jia help close the credit gap in developing countries.
  • User-Owned Marketplaces: Braintrust has doubled Gross Service Volume to $74 million in the past five months while keeping its take rate at an industry-low 10%.
  • Connected Device Networks: Helium and DIMO facilitate networks built by users and ecosystems of applications built on top of user-owned data.
  • Stablecoins: USDC, DAI, and other fully/overcollateralized stablecoins facilitate payments, especially internationally. There are $155 billion of stablecoins in circulation.
  • Evan Conrad Use Cases: In a blog post, Evan Conrad highlighted non-government money, cheap loans, Filecoin, Lab DAO, Radicle, Helium, Toucan, and Golden.
