Why will infra accrual any value? Why wouldn't revenue go to apps?
There are two answers:
- Base case ("AWS"): flat fee (e.g. DA, settlement) + de minimis take rate (e.g. for interop services). Infra could enforce larger take rate utilizing lock-in effect, just like cloud.
- Bull case ("App store"): infra end up providing necessary liquidity and / or distribution for apps. Apps rely on infra for liquidity and users while paying a reasonable take rate.
I was once much more content with the base case. But now I think that there will be a next-gen infra that will figure out L1-level network effects but for a horizontally-scaled, customizable execution environment, with good fee split.
