Goodbye 2025…
and, HELLO 2026!

Galloping across time, we embrace the lessons of the past year with grace and gratitude, and, with open arms, charge forth into the soon to be discovered wonders of the coming year!

Committed to materializing the most advanced alternative yield system to come out of the blockchain revolution, we have outlined 26 objectives to achieve in 2026.

Organized in no particular order, these objectives are subject to circumstantial adaptation, letting us optimize our trajectory and stay locked in on our North Star — driving as much yield into the wallets of nodes as possible.

This is our blueprint for 2026 (and not so much a roadmap), with:

- 10 qualitative product targets,
- 10 quantitative growth targets, and
- 6 interim milestones to keep us on track.

First, we list the objectives and then dive deeper into each one individually.

Without further ado,
We give you,
Seasons’ 26 for 2026

1. Reach 1,000,000 Social Following

2. Build up $4,000,000 in liquidity

3. Surpass $100,000,000 in volume

4. Distribute $10,000,000 in yield

5. Secure at least 24 partnerships

6. Scale past 1,000 nodes

7. Surpass 20,000 holders

8. Surpass 250,000 transactions

9. Expand of market footprint

10. Release Dashboard v 0.1

11. Establish custom Seasons analytics

12. Publish the “SOY 2026 — State of Yield 2026” report

13. Launch a new season

14. Enhance our smart contracts’ logical circuits

15. Conduct protocol and token audits

16. Expand $SEAS integrations

17. Deploy Seasons’ multi-chain version

18. Onboard Tier-1 operators and partners

19. Activate the B2B component

20. Grow the Seasons team

21. Amplify the Seasons namespace

22. Implement our AI-guide

23. Grow the Seasons Ambassador Program

24. Increase our presence at events

25. Accelerate the Seasons’ Brand-IP

26. Instantiate the SRL (Seasons Research Lab)

Many of these objectives are overlapping, to some degree depending on and determining one another. While others are means by which we expand the surface area of the $SEAS token, capturing as much trading activity as possible and maximizing the yield for node holders.

We don’t expect to achieve every target immediately, but we know we’ll achieve them definitively…

One by one,
and then, all at once.

Let’s roll.

Honing our focus on 7 channels across 6 platforms (Twitter/X, Telegram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Substack, and Medium), we intend to provide content in all consumable formats and connect with as wide an audience as possible. While raw follower numbers do not necessitate conversion, they do amplify the message and provide a rigorous feedback loop.

As the lifeblood of trading activity, higher levels of liquidity for the $SEAS token will establish a higher bandwidth to sustain larger trades and, in turn, attract entities capable of executing such trades. Liquidity buildup will potentially be conducted in multiple assets but accounted for in stablecoins.

Measured equally and bi-directionally with both BUY and SELL side transactions, volume is the kernel of Seasons’ mechanism, with volume as the de facto parameter gauging market interest and fueling yield. Given the absence of CEXs and velocity buffer against wash-trading MM activity, achieving this target will put a spotlight on the true organic capacity of the internet/crypto economy.

Going hand-in-hand with the preceding objective of volume, the value of distributed yield is directly correlated with the amount of $SEAS tokens being traded. With more trades, more value flows back to Seasons nodes as as yield, which increases the value (and desirability) of owning each node.

Another target that’s numerically defined, but qualitatively focused. We’re committed to building strong and lasting strategic relationships with project operators. Going beyond surface-level ‘handshakes’, we shall strive to improve the lives of every community interacting with Seasons.

Nodes are where yield flows. Too few nodes may lead to a hyper-condensed ROI, with maximally extractive behavior. Too many nodes can dampen the ROI. We believe having 1,000 nodes that earn superior yields is the sweet spot where Seasons can make measurable, positive impact on the lives of its users globally.

More $SEAS holders makes Seasons more reliable from a social standpoint. By increasing the number of Seasons nodes, we aim to attract more general and speculative holders who can fuel trading volume, and thereby yield. While this is numerically a low-fidelity metric, it’s impossible to ignore when coupled with the real, global community we’re building for Seasons.

Transaction counts, especially on a low-cost chain like Solana, does not carry much weight on its own. But when each transaction is amortized against the total volume, interesting behavioral patterns begin to arise. This enables a finer understanding of the user profile to which an asset such as $SEAS appeals the most.

And when transactions express repetitive addresses, the $SEAS token takes on a different role—beyond speculation and beyond bearing yield, it becomes a colloquial “piggy bank”. We believe we will achieve this target with relative ease.

A project’s market footprint includes variables like tradable asset pairs, directory listings, and transactional visibility. As Seasons matures and our community grows, we aim to further expand the presence of $SEAS tokens. To this end, we will drive economic visibility across every possible sector.

One of the most exciting elements awaiting Seasons in 2026, we will be releasing a front-end to empower users with greater “digital tangibility”. While we’re building an end-to-end tokenized product that abstracts away all complexities related to handling the asset/product, it has become obvious to us that our users require stronger touchpoints for engagement.

The degree of the dashboard’s development (in terms of functionality) is to be determined. But the most important analytic function shall definitely be produced this year.

Providing granular information about yield flows and other key protocol metrics is the cornerstone of Seasons’ effectiveness as a product. We aim to achieve this via the Dashboard mentioned above, initiating a recursive flywheel that attracts users and partner projects.

But Solana is notorious for its data-divergence. Identifying and sourcing accurate, reliable data is challenging on the Solana Network (for now). We shall overcome this by implementing our custom analytics framework to consolidate the necessary information and provide users with a coherent, complete picture through the Dashboard.

To help foster a more compelling image and solidify Seasons’ positioning as a leader in global finance, we will publish our first (of many) research report in 2026, outlining the current state of yield across traditional and crypto-native finance.

This report will educate readers on how value flows through financial systems as yield and the key obstacles in this regard, while quantifying the opportunity at hand and shedding light on Seasons’ vision for a change.

No, we don’t mean a new token (or do we…)—we mean introducing a new segment/category of yield.

Since genesis, Seasons’ default setting for yield payouts is meme-based. Simple, clean, compliant, and but with immensely high beta.

Based on the data generated from this default setting throughout this year, we anticipate an opportunity to introduce a new category of assets for yield payouts, with radically different value/risk profiles. This will attract new users, new partners, and increase Seasons’ overall value proposition for the industry at large.

We’re constantly fine-tuning and improving the Seasons protocol and its tokenized yield mechanism.

From automating yield acquisition and distribution pipelines, systematizing data-based processes, and ironing out timing discrepancies to improving the weighing functions and enhancing rewards, alignment for users and even introducing new smart contracts to reduce costs or better share control rights with nodes—there’s an incredible amount of work to be done. 2026 is the builders’ year!

Token audits shall be conducted simply as a formality. However, auditing the system components and their inter-operational relationships is a fundamentally important element for the security of the project/product.

This one covers technical partnerships that touch both integrations with the $SEAS token, as well as the yield system itself. Be it a high-frequency opportunity such as a payment provider or a high-margin opportunity such as a betting house, we will explore and tap into every viable option to drive utilization for Seasons’ four-pronged product(s).

Solana is home. It’s where Seasons was born and where it shall always remain. Nevertheless, the internet economy is growing its populations across different ecosystems and ignoring them would be detracting from the opportunities to provide wider selections of assets and invite wider groups of node owners.

And technically, Seasons is a chain-agnostic protocol that can thrive equally well on any robust blockchain. So to unleash it’s full potential, we will pursue a multi-chain deployment strategy at some point in 2026.

Strategic partnerships are powerful tools that can accelerate outputs by order of magnitude, improve products, and reduce errors tremendously. We intend to open conversations with as many sophisticated long-term operators that are interested in building user-centric and impact-driven solutions with Seasons.

Actively propagating the opportunity for projects to get their assets placed into the Seasons Inclusions lists will bolster the projects revenue, expand the suite of options for yield earning nodes, and transform the post-launch strategies for operators. We will actively engage in the expansion of our inclusion list throughout 2026.

As Seasons accelerates, the implied growth will require additional skilled/talented individuals to join the team. Currently earmarking roles in the realms of business and tech development for support with campaign and partnership management, smart contract optimization, systems automation, security, and data engineering, the Seasons family is staged to grow this year, along with the protocol and our global community.

A strong and vibrant online presence is the cornerstone of success for any project, company, or business in today’s time. Discoverability builds trust; the easier it is to find you and know about you, the easier it is to trust you.

Besides focusing on SEO and AEO, this year we will triple our efforts to capture as much digital real estate as possible, across official and team channels. Some of the initiatives will include increasing the amount and frequency of our publications, as well as the depth/scope of information we deliver. Others will include collaborative efforts with external partners, ambassadors, and so on.

Joining forces with capable, reliable, and driven independent influencers that are aligned with the Seasons’ mission, vision, and philosophy further strengthens the organic reach and impact of the our product.

We have already soft-launched an alpha ambassador program after announcing it on a Twitter/X spaces AMA with the awesome team at Scribble. We anticipate that this program will grow substantially as the operational infrastructure to support/manage it is refined.

Rather than putting an arbitrary number of ambassadors and then pursuing a numeric target just for the sake of hitting it, we’re focusing on the qualitative aspects of the program’s growth, such as strengthening a dedicated core group of ambassadors with better educational material or marketing support.

In part an effort to widen the breadth of content form factors while simultaneously leaning into the massive demand for agentic AI, we are compiling a “blog pseudo-podcast” to serve as an autonomous guide for users.

Joining well recognized events such as Token2049 Dubai, Token2049 Singapore, Future Blockchain Summit, WebX, Breakpoint, among others, leads to heightened awareness amongst operators within the Industry.

In the context of Seasons however, ‘industry’ is not limited to generalized crypto, blockchain, and web3. Alternative sectors, including traditional finance are also up for consideration.

The exact manner and capacity of our event participations is to be determined based on availability and ultimately impact. That said, as of January 5, 2026, we’re more interested in presenting the project on-stage, through founder panels and keynotes, than operating booths.

Seasons is the namesake of nature itself. Many of the worlds largest brands carry the ethereal essence of super-fluid-cycle changes.

Winter, Summer, Spring, Fall. 2026 will be a year where efforts are exerted in defending the project across all vectors, product, system, brand identity and beyond.

Information is the driver of discovery. The SRL (Seasons Research Lab) will be a branch of Seasons, dedicated to conducting deep analysis on the DeFi industry and publishing its research for the public. The efforts of the SRL contribute to the evolution of the product while providing an independent arm for data-driven content.

2025 was an important year. It was the year Seasons was born.

The future is uncertain. We don’t know what happens when…

But we do know that no matter what the headlines may say, the future is brighter than it has even been any time in the history of mankind.

The only way to predict the future,
is to build it yourself.
