Three years ago, we set out to build something that didn't exist yet. Infrastructure that would connect every chain, every network, every context into a single unified digital experience. We called this vision the Omniweb.

We built it for humans. For people tired of managing dozens of wallets and logins. For developers frustrated by the fragmentation that made Web3 feel like a collection of isolated islands rather than a connected ecosystem.

What we didn't fully anticipate, though we sensed it was coming, was that the infrastructure humans needed would become the infrastructure that AI agents would require even more desperately.

Some thought we were crazy. Others thought it was impossible. We thought it was inevitable.

January 2025 marked a turning point. Not because everything went perfectly. It didn't. But because we finally got to share what we'd been building in the quiet with all of you.

The Testnet launch brought our base interoperability layer to life. Shortly after, we released Web2 transactions and the identity solution that sits at the heart of everything Demos does.

We tested the waters with the first Omniweb applications. The Demos Omniweb Wallet saw its first real outing, supporting Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Ethereum Mainnet, Solana, and Binance Smart Chain. This week, we're submitting v3.02, which adds NEAR, Aptos, XRPL, Cosmos, TON, and MultiversX. Completing the foundational integrations that bring the Multi-chain experience to life.

Demos Identity got its first taste of the real world through integrations with Telegram, Discord, GitHub, X, and Unstoppable Domains. Applications like Demos Verify demonstrated something we've believed from day one: reputation should be owned by the user, not the platform. Cross-chain, cross-platform identity isn't just possible. It's here.

Kybos showed how effortlessly DAHR brings Web2 feeds into dApps. Orbit Runner demonstrated something bigger: financial economics, Web2 identities, and gameplay converging in the Omniweb.

We watched our community grow to nearly 1,000 members on both Telegram and Discord. Over 8,000 accounts were created in the Demos Identity system. These aren't vanity metrics to us. They're people who saw what we're building and chose to be part of it.

And our node sale? 419 of 500 nodes are now allocated. Only 81 remain. Our node holders have become some of our strongest community members, and we're deeply grateful for their early belief in what we're creating.

Building in public teaches you things that building in private never could.

We learned that X leaderboards, while they create activity and a feel-good sense of momentum, don't necessarily build lasting community. The metrics looked great. The retention didn't always follow.

Our staunchest community members, the ones who show up in Telegram every day, who catch bugs before we do, who explain Demos to newcomers with more patience than we sometimes have, they don't need points or rankings. They want to be part of the Omniweb. They believe in what we're building.

Maybe InfoFi isn't for us right now. Maybe it isn't for Demos at all. We're still figuring that out. But what we know for certain is that authentic community can't be gamed into existence. It has to be earned, conversation by conversation, problem solved by problem solved.

To those of you who've been with us through the messy parts: thank you. You know who you are.

Sometimes the stars align in ways you couldn't predict but somehow always knew were coming.

When we started building Demos, the conversation was about connecting humans to a fragmented digital world. How do you let someone use their assets on Ethereum while interacting with an app on Solana? How do you let a person prove who they are across platforms without surrendering their data to a dozen different companies?

These were human problems. We built human solutions.

But the world has shifted. The agents arrived.

Not in some distant science fiction future. Right now. AI agents that need to transact, to prove their identity, to build reputation, to interact with services across Web2 and Web3 alike. And suddenly, everything we built for humans became even more essential for machines.

Any reasonable observer could see that identity would eventually become the holy grail of Web3. But 2026 brings something we discussed on our Community Spaces 6 months ago, the question isn't just "who are you?" anymore. It's "who is your agent, and can it be trusted?". There's a certain irony here: in early 2024, the effort was eradicating bots. Now the question is which bots exist, who owns them, and whether they can be trusted.

With the release of EIP-8004 in January alongside other early agent identity solutions, we expect agentic identity to accelerate throughout the year. Think about what an AI agent needs to operate in the world: it needs wallets on multiple chains, it needs to authenticate with Web2 services, it needs a way to build and demonstrate reputation over time, and it needs to do all of this without a human manually signing every transaction.

Demos was built for exactly this. Our ability to link multiple wallets across multiple chains whilst attesting Web2 credentials means agent identification and reputation will be dramatically enhanced by technology we've been building for three years. Honestly, we didn't know agents would need this when we started. We just knew humans did. Fortunately the architecture turned out to be the perfect fit for the agent economy.

With ZK identities arriving in Q1, both humans and agents will be able to maintain private and public identities depending on context. Prove you're authorized without revealing who you are. Demonstrate reputation without exposing transaction history. At the same time prove you are credible by being publicly attested from your X account, or demonstrating public ownership of your domain.

Payments will remain at the center of the Demos ecosystem. But the nature of those payments is evolving.

When we built cross-chain payment infrastructure, we imagined humans moving value between networks. What's emerging is something far more dynamic: agent-to-agent transactions, agent-to-service payments, entire economic relationships conducted without human intervention for each individual transaction.

With the wallet now supporting multiple chains and currencies, Demos will become a liquidity layer that serves not just human users but the entire agent economy. Liquidity Tanks will see their first Testnet deployment in Q1 2026, with an initial focus on reducing the fragmentation of Stablecoins across Web3. This will be the first fully decentralized approach that matches centralized competitors for speed while offering flexibility they simply cannot provide.

Humans or agents shouldn't need to hold tokens on every chain they might need to interact with but they also shouldn't have counterparty risk when making swaps. That's the problem we're solving.

Our DAHR technology (Data Agnostic HTTP Relay), is market leading. The ability to verify any data from anywhere opens enormous possibilities.

For humans, this meant bringing real-world data on-chain for DeFi applications and smart contracts. For agents, it means something even more fundamental: the ability to interact with the entire internet, not just the blockchain portions of it.

In January, we're releasing an application that democratizes this capability: a low-code solution that lets you bring any data to your smart contract from any Web2 API at lightning speeds.

Within Q1, we'll ship D402, a protocol built on the fantastic x402 that enables web-based agentic payments. The x402 standard is growing, but it still relies on centralized infrastructure. D402 keeps the utility while honoring the principle that brought us all to Web3 in the first place, that decentralization isn't optional, that censorship resistance isn't optional.

Agents will need to pay for services, access APIs, and transact across the web. D402 will make that possible without introducing the single points of failure that make centralized systems fragile.

The Demos Testnet has been running on Demos-operated nodes. We know our node runners are eager to onboard. Before that happens, we wanted to finalize a change that dramatically improves network speed and scalability.

Decentralized Transaction Relay (DTR) is now in final testing and will be released in the first half of January. This enables pre-confirmations on the Demos network, placing us among the fastest truly decentralized networks in existence. Not "decentralized in theory." Actually decentralized.

Speed matters differently for agents than for humans. A human can wait a few seconds for a transaction to confirm. An agent operating at machine speed, making dozens or hundreds of decisions per minute, needs infrastructure that can keep up. DTR delivers that.

L2PS, our ZK-powered Layer 2 Parallel Subnetwork implementation, is scheduled to complete in January. This will allow the first L2PS partners to onboard and begin testing. Private computation, private state, with the security guarantees of the main network. For humans who need privacy. For agents that require confidential operations.

Three years ago, we started building the Omniweb because we believed Web3 needed it to achieve global adoption. The infrastructure wasn't there. The interoperability wasn't there. The identity layer wasn't there.

We built for humans navigating a fragmented digital world.

What we're witnessing now is an expansion of who participates in that world. Agents aren't replacing humans. They're joining us. And they need the same things we need: identity, reputation, the ability to transact, access to information, and privacy when required.

The difference is scale. A human might manage a few wallets, interact with a handful of chains, authenticate with a few dozen services. An agent might do all of that in an hour. The infrastructure that was convenient for humans becomes essential for agents.

We took some bets early on that this infrastructure would be essential. But watching it actually arrive, watching the pieces click into place, still feels remarkable.

2026 will be the year of the Omniweb.

Not because we declared it. Because the world is ready for it.

A world where agent reputation, facilitation, and value exchange flow seamlessly alongside human activity. Where the distinction between Web2 and Web3 fades into irrelevance. Where payments and value move effortlessly between any chain, by agent or human alike. Where identity belongs to the entity it represents, not to the platforms they interact with.

This isn't a small step. This is infrastructure for the next generation of digital technology. The generation where humans and agents operate together across a unified digital landscape.

We've been building toward this for three years. We're ready.

And we're grateful to be building it with all of you.
