The Real Layer-Zero & The Most Important Token: Power

In the next 5 years, distributed ledgers, or blockchains, will be widely adopted. This isn’t about “crypto” and its ups and downs; it’s about using secure, distributed ledgers to improve how we store and transfer value.

Here, I use “value” as a broad term. Some find value in sharing research among medical teams through zero-knowledge proofs, which validate outcomes without disclosing proprietary methods. Others find value in something called “Fartcoin.” Many popular use cases fall somewhere between these two extremes.

So what will have “value” now and in the future? For the next five years, it will be Data, the Networks that carry data, and the Power required to run the machines that handle and store the data.

Maybe the real Layer-Zero is the global power grid, and Power itself is the ultimate token.
