#AI and
#memes were OBVIOUS narratives in 2024.
But what are the NEW narratives that could dethrone them in 2025?
Discover
#DeSci and Layer 2 LSDs.
1/ What is DeSCI? (Decentralized Science)
DeSCI is a movement that seeks to transform the way science is conducted, shared, and funded by leveraging blockchain technology.
In the traditional model, researchāsuch as developing new medicationsādepends on large institutions and centralized funding sources with their own agendas.
They aim for PROFITS by treating symptoms, not curing people.
With DeSCI, scientists can directly fund their projects by connecting with the community without intermediaries.
This fosters innovation and builds trust in results by removing intermediaries and ensuring everything is verifiable on the blockchain.
This approach will allow for new ways to research real-world problems such as cancer, diabetes, global warming, pollution, and many others without the need for governments or multinational corporations to censor what benefits them.
2/ What is L2LSD? (Layer 2 Liquid Staking Derivatives)
This narrative combines two key concepts:
- Layer 2 (L2), which makes transactions faster and cheaper,
- And LSDs, which are tokens that represent cryptos in staking but can still be used while continuing to generate rewards.
For example, you can obtain your stETH (Staked Ethereum; an LSD) on a platform like
#Lido and move it to a Layer 2 like
#Arbitrum to take advantage of its low fees and speed, and reinvest that stETH.
With this method, you can use your stETH to:
1. Restake and provide liquidity on Uniswap.
2. Collateralize loans on Aave
3. Trade futures on GMX
4. Reinvest to maximize earnings on platforms like BeefyFinance.
