just thought of a really cool use case unlocked by @ikadotxyz - revenue stream marketplace (or put differently borrowing against future revenue) tl;dr a @SuiNetwork protocol utilizing dwallets can power a marketplace where the future revenue streams of any crypto project generating revenue on any chain can be effectively traded the long version: in web2 there are platforms like @pipe that connect to a company's billing platform (e.g. stripe) and allows lenders to evaluate the company's recurring revenue, growth, churn etc. and finance them in return for a future share of the revenue in web3 the revenue data of protocols, sequencers, validators etc. is all publicly visible. that makes it easy for lenders to evaluate its strength and likelihood of the debt being repaid. revenue also flows into a blockchain address. if that address is a dwallet, it can be used as collateral for a loan (and liquidated if the loan defaults), but that requires the entire business to be put up as collateral, not great. a more interesting model is having a revshare smart contract that allows the team and the lenders to each withdraw their share of the revenue according to the terms of the loans. different types of financing can be structured for different risk/reward profiles, based on whether lenders wish to speculate on things like revenue growth over increasing repayment certainty. these positions will be instantly liquid and can be tradable in a dedicated marketplace recurring revenue financing in web2 has a huge tam and is rapidly growing, but i think the web3 potential is even greater because of 1) public blockchain transparency and 2) the instant liquidity and tradability of these positions i personally really like it when trading and speculation are connected to something real. allowing any protocol generating revenue on any chain to get instant financing based on revenue, and allowing traders to trade their shares of that future revenue - is the epitome of connecting trading and speculation to something real - revenue is fr fr. in a way it also solves some of the issues around the need to artificially connect a protocol's value to a governance token. one tiny caveat here: this only works for things that actually make revenue, or as the ethereum bros like to call it - the "revenue" meta - so unfortunately won't be useful for vc pump and dump scams like da or restaking... sorry guys
