We’re starting to hear less and less about the Next Big Token (NBT) (just kidding, I’m not trying to make yet another new acronym happen). Less noise about tokens is refreshing, especially since it has coincided with a renewed focus on the underlying protocols that power them. This week, we’ve seen announcements that show progress for scaling, security, and access to cryptos that all reinforce each other and the broader ecosystem as it grows. Might we call these network effects?
