I'm somewhat skeptical, but also honestly curious: what game-changing applications came out of the blockchain/web3 hype craze?

One for the few interesting ones is Polymarket, the betting platform.
Drug and firearm escrow services.
That and crypto-blackmailing.
I am convinced that the only use case for cryptocurrencies is criminal activities.
The area I was briefly interested in was in the fintech/lending space. Not an expert though. I saw some cool ideas out of it at that time and interviewed several rounds with a company in that space.
