Welcome to the 38th issue of the Signalclout newsletter.
Last week I got a message from one of the readers to cover an important blog post written by the $DESO founder on smart services and DAO coins.
The underlying core message of the blog post is that existing smart contract development languages have had minimal developer adoption. To get greater adoption of blockchains, we need an intermediary layer that is not entirely decentralized and uses widespread development languages.
There are two camps when it comes to this argument. It is vigorously debated across industries whether existing tools and processes can provide the leapfrog in output or need a whole new set of tools to get the quantum jumps we want to get to. The classic innovator's dilemma and Clayton Christensen has written an entire book on the topic.
At the core of his argument, current technologies and processes satisfy customers' current needs, while disruptive technologies build to meet customers' future needs.
I found the DAO coins concept to be far more disruptive than the outlined smart services proposal.
In this newsletter, I will break down my thoughts on both.
🌊 DAO Coins built around Smart Services
The proposal that caught my attention was DAO Coins. When I read the initial proposal set forward by @nader, it read considerably like the $RLY initiatives around the same concept.
