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