The early "killer" products and projects are there, but most people are looking in the wrong places (DeFi). Some examples below.

Consumer apps:

- STEPN

- Superlocal

The future of brands (NFTs):

- Doodles

- BAYC

Science funding:

- VitaDAO

- Molecule

- HairDAO

NFTs and particularly BAYC being a killer anything is hilarious to me. I wouldn't pay $5 for a thousand such ape drawings, and suspect most others wouldn't either.

if BAYC is a killer app then web3 is doomed.

Using NFTs to enforce digital scarcity and 'ownership' of content can be cool.

but the idea of a exclusive social club where you can only get into by buying a million dollar avatar is a little ridiculous. IF they actually had good content in the group that would make sense but it seems to be mostly an MMO

the pictures dont even have any taste and the whole thing feels overly commercial and reeks of group-think.
