Casper The Fantom foundation is focussed on providing services to power smart cities — i.e. crossing the chasm from the crypto degen world to very real world applications (things like public utilities, healthcare, education). If Fantom can achieve success in any ONE of these industries, it will be able to carve itself a permanent niche and use case and drive parabolic adoption . We can envision a world where Phantom DAO allows for and powers exchange of value from crypto assets (PHM and derivatives) to real world items or value.
I have done some work in smart city planning and it is incredibly complex but it has the potential to have a MASSIVE impact on the world and the path to sustainability. Growth in cities will be massive over the next 50 years (connectography by Parag Khanna, great read). Mega cities will be common and these cities cannot grow in the same way they have in the last 20 years.
The crossover between this mega trend and the crypto could be a very interesting field and opportunity.
