im not sure this is how things will shake out.

keep in mind the EVM is a casino. the CLVM is the rails of finance 3.0.

incentives are a powerful tool to align users and the platforms they traffic. 

i think the first major opportunity is continuing to deliver community owned infrastructure on the chia peripheral rails like base and ethereum. aligning incentives along the way.

chia is going to be a relatively fee expensive mainnet experience. i would need to learn more about payment channel scaling and other key considerations to better see the puzzle here.

for now, for folks like you and me, chia assets are likely best owned on xch when security / custody is top priority, and only bridged to base and or eth when low cost high frequency “on chain” actions are useful (high thruput meme coin trading). 

the big business users of chia will not need the tools retail primarily uses for their application needs. i would suspect they will be primarily using offer files, options offers, and payment channel routing for multi-touch point single txn trades.

these would be good questions/ideas to run past gene as far as, what similarities if any will “defi” utilities from say base, look like in like-kind for native chia activity. will the needs be similar? 

where is the line drawn from the designs of the account models attempt at defi, and achieving similar goals in the coin set model
