In crypto, time is of the essence. Being early to an emerging sector is your best chance at one day striking it rich. Below is a list of potential narratives I see growing significantly over the coming years.

01. NFT Fractionalization

What if 1m people could own the Mona Lisa? With physical objects, this is impossible. However, NFTs can be divided into thousands of pieces This opens up the art industry to a larger pool of investors & eliminates the barrier of high entry costs for users.

02. Social Tokens

Influencers need better ways to monetize their work & interact with fans. Creators are bounded by platforms & forced to give up profits to intermediaries. With social tokens, creators can tokenize communities & reward both themselves & their fans for their work.

03. Airdrops

Airdrops are an efficient way to bootstrap a community around a project. Some crypto airdrops require participants to top up their accounts, while others offer opportunities to earn free cryptos without any expenses. LuckyHash is one of the aggressive airdrop players that offers free cryptos on a monthly basis. Take the currently ongoing Lucky Egg Hunt event as an example, participants can gain up to 0.01 BTC in a single crypto egg for free.

04. ZK Proofs

Vitalik has stated that ZK Rollups will process the vast majority of Eth transactions long-term. These technologies allow for L2 chains to instantly confirm their state to the Ethereum L1, and enable the privacy guarantees and scale for mass adoption.

05. Bridges

The top blockchains today store trillions in value. However, these ecosystems remain divided As these ecosystems continue to grow, the need for a scalable, decentralized, widely integrated protocol that moves value and data across blockchains will become more apparent.

06. Rollups

With Ethereum’s rollup centric roadmap, rollups will play an increasingly important roll after the switch to PoS. The merge to PoS will make it the most secure and decentralized consensus layer, while data sharding & rollups will enable up to 100k TPS.

07. PoS MEV

The transaction ordering process in ETH 2.0 will be the same as the current PoW Ethereum. This means that MEV opportunities will still exist in ETH2.0, with the only difference being validators, instead of miners are in charge of the transaction ordering process.

08. Liquid staking

ETH’s switch to PoS will be a game changer. However, it has limitations. Users need to stake 32 ETH & will have their funds locked up. With protocols like Lido, users can deposit ETH & receive a tokenized representation of their stake that can be traded freely.
