In response to the phenomenon that Meme coins continue to dominate the narrative, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed several directions for expanding and improving the functions and scope of cryptocurrencies:
1. zk reputation/identity/credentials;
2. p2p cross-border payments (lower fees and user experience can be improved rapidly);
3. Decentralized social networking;
4. Prediction market (actually available in this cycle);
5. Privacy;
6. Enterprise applications achieved through zk validiums;
7. zk+ anti-censorship voting.
