A few thoughts on @mirror_protocol:

1/ Being able to "invest in whats in the fridge"—brands whose products and services are used or recognized globally—is now globally accessible, as it should be.

Buy $mAMZN, $mTSLA, $mGOOGL from anywhere.

All synthetic assets created on Mirror are "reflected" on Ethereum, tradable via Uniswap:

eth.mirror.finance

So DeFi is happening elsewhere, but assets flow to Ethereum for DEX & composability.

This is early signal that Ethereum's role as the settlement layer in the "layer cake" is solidifying.

If you received $UNI in the @UniswapProtocol airdrop, you also received $MIR at genesis...

> 9,150,000 tokens will be airdropped to UNI token holders. Only wallets with at least 100 UNI on 11/23/2020 at 00:00 UTC+0 will receive the airdrop.

I think this user acquisition strategy will become more common as new protocols seek out active user bases.

Being the reference userbase for airdrops is a coveted position to be in. It creates exogenous value for users:

Ownership Composability.

Most interesting to me is how clean and simple the UX is for end-users.

With a governance administered treasury to reward devs that drive adoption, I expect it'll get even easier to access "TradFi" assets in DeFi.

One more step towards the next 10M -> 100M DeFi users.
