/New Modalities for Issuance and Trading
It is effectively impossible for a regular person to create a new tradeable asset on traditional financial rails. Crypto trivializes this. Today, anyone in the world can create new assets on Solana in a few seconds for ~$0 cost. Consequently, there has been an explosion in user-generated assets (UGAs).

As the Solana network has evolved, so has our frame of reference on how to think about the Solana network, and SOL the asset.

I almost never get the question: 'What's not going to change in the next 10 years?'
