i have become very interested in this project and have been motivated to write up some thoughts on it check this out if your interested in the future of $BTC!
Many of the metaprotocols proposed as of late are indexer commands for smart contracts. i.e. every smart contract is "built" into the indexer and to introduce new contracts one must go through an approval and integration process.
I don't think these will gain meaningful
