Several superb initiatives have clever contracts in timelock or are making plans on launching soon.

$GREED, a rewards token redistributing $ADA lower back to holders, Liqwid, an open supply and non-custodial liquidity protocol for hobby fee curves, SingularityNET, a platform that we could each person create, percentage and monetize AI offerings at scale, and Cardax, the primary DEX on Cardano.
