First of all, you need to understand the pitfalls in Defi investment cause anyone cryptocurrency scammer can create one just to defraud crypto investors.
1) The Graph : is good but they offering the same features which was done previous crypto project and the last time i check no project have dethrone ETH in the dapps business.
2) Persistence : have a good concept but the aspect of the project owner backing it with real world asset as Stablecoin liquidity pools which I believe could fiat is what I don't like about the project.
it seem more like you are saying eth can not be dethrone so other project should not co-exist alongside, i doubt the intention of the Graph project is to dethrone any project, the ecosystem is big enough for similar project to duel,
Crypto and blockchain settng is broad but yes, I was saying ETH can not be dethrone in the dApp and smart contract scheme which you'll agree with me despite all the strategies used by Justin Sun.
besides, this method will eliminate the possibility of monopoly, eth is not all that and not exactly without any shortcomings either, they have not been able to solve scalability issue, see the mess most erc20 project are facing,
Monopoly is not of the picture cause we already have enough projects that are into the dApp and smart contract business and what we need is new innovation which is what I was trying to explain.
However, the issue of ETH scalability will be solved soon through ETH2.0 and if you check ETH tx fee and confirmation time lately after the Spadina phase is live you'll know I'm right.
the crypto community is open to new ideas, the world is evolving and so are technologies, we shouldn't be limited to some particular few, between pitfalls are in every investment be it defi or none defi.
The community welcomes new ideas but 96% of all new projects lack new concepts.
