I really do not understand how these things happen. I assume they're VC-sponsored. 1. They're a "high-performance EVM-compatible blockchain built on Proof-of-Liquidity," so a piece of technology that has been 100% commoditized, or not? I can probably go on GitHub or hire five

So this dmap protocol that Nikolai's building: It profits the stakers/miners. It doesn't have its own token or airdrops rewards to users! It gives all protocol revenue to stakers 🤯 Now, why is that a big deal? For a few reasons actually! 1️⃣2️⃣

And that's a big deal! - Nobody's gonna race this line of code to the bottom. - The Ethereum protocol revenue goes up further, and price too. - It's in all our best interest to reward stakers to provide perfect network quality.

Instead of centering all activity around building a new parasitic protocol sitting ontop of Ethereum: Projects like Nikolai's dmap UPGRADE ETH almost in the SAME quality as The Merge does. That's right: Permissionless upgradability of the top 2 most valuable crypto currency!

But first, some context: The code you're seeing is 's RootZone contract. It's not their first paradigm-shifting project: MakerDAO is. But similar to ENS, dmap allows users to register names and pair them with a value.

As with ENS, to register their names on the dmap RootZone, users have to `hark` their way in, sending 1 ether along. But surprise! This 1 ether (`== 10^18 wei`) is immediately sent to `block.coinbase`, which is the address of the current block producer! 👇

2️⃣ To bootstrap their networks, protocols then often used their tokens to incentivize usage. Or they end up airdropping. This is to overcome Metcalfe's empty network problem. No users=No value Many users=much value. 🤑

But often: Those acquisition tactics came with downsides too. Nepetism and self-dealing accusations are always the result. Additionally there is a fundamental question: Can a protocol rent-seek through fees? Or does that spawn a race to the bottom?
