    One addition that upgrades every theme here:  
      
    Use ENS as the PayTo field for x402 (e.g., PayTo: alice.eth) and as the identity surface for merchant agents.  
      
    For teams who need more, Hooks lets credentials resolve via ENS → verifiable profiles.

    If you're looking to start a crypto company in 2026, here are some themes to explore:  
      
    1\. Stablecoin & deposits infra → deposit token custody, CeFi on DeFi rails, better peg design, transparent reserves, oracle redundancy  
    2\. Micropayment agents → x402-compatible bots, agent
