A Letter to Everyone from Magnus, CEO of PopChain
A Letter to Everyone from Magnus, CEO of PopChain ——Price is temporary. Fundamentals are permanent Dear PopChain Users, I understand the emotion right now — seeing the POP price drop is never pleasant. But a price chart only tells one part of the story, and in early-stage ecosystems like PopChain, price always lags behind utility, growth, and adoption. Let me explain what’s REALLY happening behind the scenes, so everyone understands the bigger picture: The price drop does NOT reflect the heal...

In today's blockchain world, many public chains still compete based on performance metrics, the number of applications, or short-term narratives. However, PopChain's overall design philosophy is distinctly different. It doesn't aim to win with "more"; instead, it seeks to address a more fundamental question: When a blockchain is no longer just a tool for transactions, but also a platform to carry real assets, real actions, and long-term value, how should the ecosystem structure of a public ch...

In the rapidly evolving Web3 landscape, “cross-chain” has always been regarded as one of the most difficult infrastructure challenges in the industry. Whether it’s Ethereum, Layer 2 networks, or asset flows across multiple EVM public chains, liquidity has long been constrained by cumbersome user journeys: users must first bridge assets to the target chain, then go to a DEX or CEX to complete the swap. The whole process often requires hopping across multiple platforms, which not only hurts the...

Over the past year, the Web3 industry has continued to restructure amid uncertainty. Competition among public blockchains has gradually shifted away from pure performance metrics toward a deeper focus on ecosystem scalability and sustainability. Within this new phase of industry evolution, PopChain has completed a critical transition — from building its base-layer network to shaping a functional, interconnected ecosystem — marking a decisive step forward in its development as a next-generation public chain.
For a public blockchain, true maturity is not defined by any single technical benchmark, but by its ability to support diverse applications over the long term and cultivate a self-sustaining, self-reinforcing ecosystem. Over the past year, PopChain has steadily clarified its position within the emerging public-chain landscape, demonstrating the structural depth and long-term potential expected of a new generation of blockchain infrastructure.

As a next-generation public blockchain, PopChain was never designed to be an isolated technical platform. Its core mission is to provide a trusted, scalable, and composable base-layer network for global Web3 applications — enabling people, content, and value to circulate continuously on a single shared chain.
To date, the PopChain network has accumulated 140,406 on-chain addresses, with total ecosystem assets reaching USD 800 million, and cumulative on-chain transactions surpassing 1,743,811. These figures not only demonstrate the network’s operational stability, but also signal PopChain’s transition from a technical validation phase into a stage of scalable, real-world adoption. More importantly, around the PopChain mainnet, a growing number of ecosystem projects with clear positioning and genuine use cases are now running continuously, allowing the public chain to gradually develop true capacity for value hosting and cross-ecosystem collaboration.
At the infrastructure layer, PopChain has established a relatively complete on-chain value circulation system.
PopSwap, as the official decentralized exchange, provides instant swapping between ecosystem tokens and stablecoins, serving as the core liquidity hub for internal value flow across the network.
PopBridge, the official cross-chain bridge, supports asset transfers across multiple EVM-compatible chains, enabling external assets and liquidity to enter PopChain and opening a direct channel between the ecosystem and broader markets.
Together, these two infrastructure pillars form the economic foundation of the PopChain public chain, allowing ecosystem applications to operate within a continuous and stable financial environment, and laying the groundwork for scalable application expansion.
If infrastructure determines whether a chain can run, the application ecosystem determines whether a chain truly has vitality. Over the past year, the PopChain ecosystem has gradually taken shape, forming an application matrix across multiple verticals:
PopGame integrates entertainment with on-chain incentives through a Play-to-Mine model, becoming a key entry point for users into the PopChain ecosystem;
PopMe.fun explores the assetization of culture and consensus via a Meme Launchpad model, offering new value-expression mechanisms for content and communities;
BETV validates the model of “content as hash power, interaction as yield” across video and live-streaming, and has been deployed in multiple large-scale real-world conferences and events;
PunkVerse combines digital culture, NFTs, and XR experiences, driving the convergence of online content with offline immersive experiences;
PFDEX extends on-chain financial depth by providing high-performance derivatives trading scenarios for assets, users, and liquidity;
Nivex Exchange, as a compliant trading platform, offers the PopChain ecosystem a critical global asset gateway and external connectivity layer.
These projects are not applications merely “attached” to a public chain. They are native ecosystem components, co-evolving on the same chain, reinforcing one another, and collectively shaping a self-sustaining, collaborative on-chain economy.
At the ecosystem-support layer, PopX, the official ecosystem fund of PopChain powered by BTC.VC, continues to provide capital, resources, and strategic backing to ecosystem projects—accelerating their deployment, growth, and expansion on PopChain.
The presence of PopX means that PopChain’s ecosystem development no longer relies on isolated breakthroughs. Instead, it benefits from a systematic incubation and coordination engine, sending a clear long-term signal: the value of a public chain is derived from the collective growth of its ecosystem, not the short-term performance of any single project.
At this new juncture, PopChain’s focus is shifting from an ecosystem build-out phase into a value realization phase. In 2026, PopChain will advance around a clear core objective: enabling all ecosystem projects to co-build PopChain and collectively share the long-term dividends of public-chain growth.
On the technical front, PopChain will continue optimizing mainnet performance and stability, strengthening cross-chain, data, and financial infrastructure. Core modules such as PopSwap and PopBridge will evolve into higher-frequency, higher-value public-chain gateways, providing a more robust foundation for ecosystem applications.
On the ecosystem front, PopChain will deepen the vertical development of existing projects while onboarding more applications oriented toward real users and real-world scenarios. Entertainment, content, finance, and culture will no longer exist as siloed modules; instead, they will form a coordinated loop on a single public chain. Applications such as PopGame, PopMe.fun, BETV, and PunkVerse will continue to expand both user scale and usage depth—feeding back into on-chain activity and long-term value accumulation.
In finance and growth mechanisms, the PopX ecosystem fund will continue to act as an accelerator, leveraging investment, incubation, and resource coordination to help more high-quality projects on PopChain achieve the leap from 0 to 1, and from 1 to N, further amplifying the network effects of the public chain.
More importantly, in 2026 PopChain will reinforce a long-term narrative of “the public chain as a platform”: ecosystem projects are not isolated entities, but integral components of the chain’s overall value. A project’s success does not belong solely to itself—it compounds into the long-term assets of the PopChain network.
As more applications, assets, and users co-exist and co-evolve on a single chain, the value of the public chain will no longer hinge on short-term fluctuations, but on sustained, compounding network effects.
Looking back over the past year, PopChain has chosen a path that is less noisy, yet far more resilient: first solidifying the base-layer network, then establishing core infrastructure, and ultimately allowing ecosystem applications to grow organically.
Looking ahead, PopChain will continue to adhere to this long-term, builder-first trajectory. All ecosystem projects co-build PopChain, and all participants share in the long-term dividends generated by the growth of the public chain. This is not only the development logic of a public blockchain—it is a long-horizon value consensus built for sustainable evolution.
