the next big area of development of #bitcoin will be around the mempool.
currently it uses a naive gossip protocol to distribute transactions, but it would be possible to add new mechanisms to this while not affecting those that don't adopt it, but adding solutions for problems introduced by segwit and RBF.
it also could potentially lead to solutions for LN and other L2/L3 systems that are badly affected by the simple gossip protocol used by the mempool.
LN showed that two party transaction update games can become relatively secure. there should be ways to make multiparty transaction update schemes secure as well, which would enable some parts of LNs benefits directly in the bitcoin network instead of at a second layer.
