Why NFT?
Because everyone has the opportunity to make a unicorn product.
NFT is in a big explosion phase with growing market cap — Enjin, SandBox, AXIE, Rarible, Avago, MixMarvel. NFT trading platforms are also on the rise, such as OpenSea, art trading platform SuperRare, etc. There are also Unstoppable Domains, non-standard financial NFTs.
Why DAO?
Again, because everyone has the opportunity to make a unicorn product.
Aragon, for example, is one of the best DAO infrastructures in the English community, with more than 1,000 decentralized organizations (DAOs) in Aragon managing more than $300 million in assets as of October 2020.
Why Layer-2?
Once more, because everyone has the opportunity to make a unicorn product.
The most criticized part of Ether is the slow transaction speed and high fees. During the high Defi transaction period this year, the single transaction fee even reached hundreds of dollars. With Layer-2 technical facilities (Layer-2), important issues such as transaction speed, fees, and privacy can be solved, providing the foundation for more application scenarios.
