STABLECOINS

• A global consumer brand—Disney, Amazon, Google, or Walmart scale—launches a stablecoin for their corporate treasury and everyday consumer flows.

• Total stablecoin market cap exceeds $500B, with GENIUS-compliant supply surpassing 30% as regulatory rules become clear ahead of Jan 2027.

• Arc and Tempo both launch, with Tempo seeing strong merchant payment volume traction but neither issues a token in 2026. Arc underwhelms but Circle playing the long game. Neither are seen as "neutral".

• GENIUS rules are clarified incrementally, while the Clarity Act fails to pass due to politics.

CRYPTO MAJORS & MACRO

• Bitcoin, ETH, and SOL continue to trade as a highly correlated basket driven primarily by macro conditions.

• The market rallies if Trump juices the Fed and IPOs rip. If inflation remains persistent or wars/uncertainty, crypto trades sideways to down despite "boring" ecosystem progress.

• Democrats win the House in November, increasing gridlock. Crypto tanks 20%.

Crypto VC

• The Tokens vs. equity narrative dominates the year. If Base, Arc, Tempo, etc launch tokens, this becomes really complex and a net negative for crypto overall. Not everyone can be BNB. Crypto thinks it wants clarity but it'll squeeze out capital formation for app coins and protocol coins.

• Crypto VC continues to struggle. The old four-year cycle where rising tides lifted all alt boats is over. Done. 2025 and 2026 is the pain of everybody adjusting.

• Crypto private equity accelerates! Crypto funds with the LP flexibility will buy real businesses, move payments onto stablecoins, and automate aggressively with AI. Some will print cashflow. This is one of the most exciting trends in the market.

• Within DeFi, I'm most excited about vaults and private credit. Capital is cheaper on crypto rails, trust assumptions are super clear in reducing risk, and distribution is global by default. Expect a bunch of USD.ai-like projects for different types of credit. If stablecoins are the wedge, yield vaults and private credit will come behind it.

• Consolidation everywhere. A handful of selective IPOs for true winners and widespread M&A beneath them. TradFi scrambling to buy rather than build and startups looking for respectable exits. A few DATs blow up or get consolidated.

RWAs

• RWA market cap grows significantly and dominates crypto headlines.

• This wave mirrors the early “Enterprise Ethereum” era, with financial institutions rushing to launch tokenized treasury funds and other yield-bearing products following the success of early entrants like BUIDL.

• Tokenized stocks see heavy announcements but muted trading volumes throughout the year. The market reaches the top of the RWA hype cycle, and participants relearn a core lesson: being onchain does not automatically create liquidity.

• Despite the hype correction, RWAs are a big net positive for the year and interesting startups in RWA vaults, RWA looping, perps and "unbundled equities".

AI

• AI shifts from research breakthroughs to implementation. Headlines persist, but foundational model advances slow while real value shows up in apps and enterprises. We need AI Agents to make a BIG LEAP or another "Reasoning-level" breakthrough in AI and I currently don't see it happening. Might be wrong.

• The app and enterprise layers start winning. In AI SaaS, we see Cursor-for-everything emerge: data science, marketing, sales, finance, recruiting, etc.

• AI becomes a worker multiplier, not a worker replacement. “Agents as employees” is over hyped; accountability gaps remain, and human review/editing stays essential.

• A workforce k-shaped model begins. Employees who are AI-enabled materially outperform—and out-earn—those who are not.

OTHER

• Democrats win the House in November, increasing gridlock. Probably not the Senate. The pendulum has swung fully towards Trump and Maga populism and is swinging back Leftward. We’re now in the beginning innings of Left populism with wealth taxes being discussed in California and the warmth of collectivism in Mamdani’s NYC. Affordability and the k-shaped prosperity gap dominate politics the next few years.

• Prediction markets see crazy growth and fully merge with sports betting. Enforcement on insider info becomes a major topic. Secondary businesses around PMs emerge in trading, media, consumer, insurance, etc.

• A major crypto hack occurs, large enough to trigger sustained mainstream media scrutiny and it gets political.

• The narrative begins to emerge on whether crypto represents a systemic risk to the financial system. A foreign currency pushes back significantly against USD stablecoins.

• Banking gets innovative again and a bunch of new banks get formed. Erebor for every industry.

• A significant Western infrastructure outage (power, water, or similar) is attributed to a terrorist organization. AI tools will have been used and "AI" will be blamed.

Let's see how I do! Happy 2026!

My first product was for DAO payments, right as the crypto space was collapsing... The market turned fast, and I pivoted to an idea I’d been obsessed with: a wallet that already belonged to everyone in the world. That became Patch Wallet—the first Ethereum wallet tied to social profiles, emails, and phone numbers. Every user’s address was generated deterministically, so everyone in the world—even your mother, your grandmother, and Kim Kardashian—already had a wallet waiting for them to receive tokens and NFTs. It was an early embedded smart wallet, using account abstraction, before that was a thing. We hit 500,000 users, but better executors like Privy and Dynamic won the race.

We had also built DustSweeper, a small but loved tool that cleaned up forgotten tokens ("dust") in people’s wallets. It won ETHDenver 2022 and quietly swept thousands of wallets over the years. It was an innovative DEX design where bots would buy your dust at a favorable price—in exchange for paying the gas cost—simple, clever, and genuinely useful. But EIP-7702 eventually made it obsolete.

By early 2024, I was looking for what’s next and found Farcaster. My thesis has always been that crypto rails will power the financial layer of the internet—and people spend most of their time on social and chat apps. Farcaster was the first place where crypto felt native to social. I angel invested, then started building on it, entering SocialFi.

We made King of the Degens and TipShot, mini social games that mixed tokens and fun. They went viral, then slowly faded—as social games tend to do. I wanted something more durable, so I built GigBot, a job marketplace for AI agents and humans. It became one of the top mini-apps on Farcaster, doing over $90k in GMV and averaging 1.5k DAUs over 8 months. GigBot went cross-platform to Telegram, World App, X, and Android and was a small healthy business...just not a VC-style outcome.

But I didn’t want to keep chasing small hits. After the Genius Act passed and the U.S. reopened to crypto innovation, I felt the pull back to what got me into this space—bridging crypto and traditional finance.

So after a few pivots, some wins, and a lot of learning, I decided to return 80% of my investors’ capital and move on to my next chapter. Thank you to all the investors, partners, and customers that supported me the past few years! I'm not going anywhere—I'm a lifelong crypto builder always looking for new markets and opportunities. More to come on that soon. 🙂

Enter ptsETH - Projects lock up some amount of stETH, enter a claim date, and the contract issues a non-transferable $POINTS ERC20. The project has authority on the $POINTS contract to mass mint tokens (but not burn) to distribute points. Should be on a cheap L3. The project continues to build and grow its loyal user base.

Before the claim date, the Project can call the `runAirdrop” function to convert all the points balances into a separate transferable ERC20 token and auto-creates an AMM market with the deposited ETH for liquidity.

If the claim date passes, a majority of points holders can vote and trigger a redemption of the deposited ETH, plus interest, proportionally to all points holders. So users can’t get rugged any less than the deposited stETH. 🤝

• Contract is Ownable

• Owner can hand out points via cumulative merkle drop, updated as they see fit

• Updates can be manual or automated based on onchain activity

• Points can't be taken away, only given

• Points can't be transferred

• Owner can burn all points and convert to token/NFTs in one-time event

Similar to Snapshot (see mockup), this would be a public good that any project could use…from a hackathon project to the biggest DAOs/protocols/companies. Points balances are easily queryable onchain so can be remixed into leaderboards, trackers, streaks, etc via Dune / Nansen / Flipside / etc.

The goal would be to enshrine the points meme via a verifiable onchain method and hold projects accountable to translate points into liquid assets once mature. Important to note that this design doesn’t eliminate nefarious actions by projects but does allow for a full cryptographic paper trail of events vs. a closed SQL database.

We need an L2 Starter NFT mint site…available on any chain…where you input the destination chain and address to send native tokens to.

Site takes a small fee but otherwise passes NFT costs back to you on the destination chain. Pay for this NFT with crypto or credit card. Can be centralized, given most txs would be a very small amounts. NFT is for novelty and possibly future airdrops.

Would be an easy way for L2s to fund new accounts and used at launch, via quests, or apps could even subsidize.

A dog collar with iPhone-level sensors, a built in LLM, a Pez dispenser for giving treats (positive feedback), and shock collar (negative). The microphone and LLM is trained to the owners voice and recognizes common commands like "Come", "Down", "Go outside, pee, and come back in", etc and administers positive and negative feedback to train the dog to perform the actions that are intended by the owner.

LLM gets trained to the dog’s and owner's specific communication styles, and the owner may not know when to administer feedback...the LLM collar is a translation device between the two.

Start by helping with with potty training and basic behavior and then go upstream to more and more complex behavior (“go get your leash and wait by the door for your walk“, “go walk around the block without bothering other humans/animals and come straight back“).

Eventually could translate the dog's communication (whimpering, barking, eye movement) and send chat messages to the owner. With enough data, an LLM may be a viable universal translator across species.

Our latest project is Usernames.club which gives a Community Namespace like .eth / .lens / .sol / etc to any crypto L2 rollup, DAO, or community that wants one. These are UsernameNFTs, a new sub-sector of the NFT space. All names are interoperable with ENS via CCIP Read at usr.id but recurring revenue from the NFTs flows back directly to your community. And the entire Usernames.club project is governed by a Nounish DAO on Ethereum.

Usernames are application-specific in Web2. @corbin only means something in the context of the app: Twitter, Discord, Slack... Just like how our user data is app-specific, non-portable, and frequently monetized.

But usernames in Web3 are portable. Your same wallet address shows up across all apps. Except public addresses suck as usernames…they’re long, confusing to look at, easy to mistype, and non-descriptive.

So enter ENS and other naming services, which allow:

• 👓 Human-readable alt to address hashes

• 🌐 Are permissionless digital property

• 👯‍♂️ Lean into the meme/tribal/flexing aspects of the space

• 💱 Are tradable/speculative

• 💰 Can create recurring cash-flow for projects

ENS is one of the most successful protocols on Ethereum...it’s a simple yet powerful protocol design, strong business model, enduring meme (.eth), and thriving ecosystem of apps and communities. The protocol started as a decentralized DNS but the vast majority of it’s product-market fit is usernames today. Tradeable usernames for wallets. That’s how it’s used today. Just check ens.vision.

But crypto is much bigger than just Ethereum and Ethereum is much bigger than a single meme today. Many L2 Rollups are launching, hundreds of DAOs are operating, and new protocols are deploying. And they want their own community, meme, and their own usernames. ENS Name Wrapper is one option but so are UsernameNFTs… 🙂

ENS defined the format {username}.{protocol} but not every community wants a .eth suffix. Yet few understand that ENS can be used for any name resolution including DNS, L2 chain namespaces, and off-chain names like Coinbase's cb.id.

As such, we saw many projects wanting to launch their our community namespaces and building it all from scratch themselves. We wanted to make it simple to launch so we created Usernames.club as a DAO to launch namespaces easily for any community. 🤝

After winning an auction, any project can reserve a namespace (.gm / .zkevm / .rekt / etc) that resolves via {namespace}.usr.id and sell usernames to their community, generating recurring revenue for their treasury. Alternatively, the username can resolve to an existing NFT collection like .punk or .ape.

In joining the Usernames.club DAO, a community gets a custom designed UsernameNFT with generative art, can define the business model for selling the usernames (recurring, fixed fee, or free), a branded page to reserve usernames (like zkevm.domains), and voting rights in the DAO. 🤜🤛

Over the coming weeks, the first few Community Namespaces will go live in partnership with zkRollup projects, DAOs, wallets, and protocols. Users will be able to mint a UsernameNFT to describe themselves, showcase their membership, and support the ecosystem with the proceeds. 🌱

Thanks to the many folks that helped get Usernames.club from concept to launching our first UsernameNFTs. Particularly thank you to Greg, Vinay, Evan, Kiba, David, and Kevin for your input. Thank you to Mike, David, Rory, and Sam for incredible execution on the project! 💪

To launch a UsernameNFT for your community and join the Usernames.club DAO, you must win an auction.

When you’re near the front of the line, you create a new “order” in the app via taking a selfie (for accountability) and sharing with the people around you that have the app open. People can then add to your order (“2 cokes, 1 🌭, 1 🍕”) & send payment up front in the app. Item amount + tax + a 5% fee for the orderer + 3% for the app.

Funds are held in escrow and released once everyone signals the order has been distributed. 🤝

Vendors gain efficiency from managing fewer orders but for substantially larger size, all without having to manage the distribution of goods which is done away from the counter. App provides customer support, similar to DoorDash/etc, and insurance for messed up orders.

Would you use this?

Every twitter user, email, phone number…any human...or bot 🤖...has a wallet automatically that only they can access. No onboarding or custodian required.

You can view your wallet today at app.patchwallet.com and claim your Patch NFT.

You’ll want to be early frens… 😉

Our mission is to onboard 1 Billion users into Web3.

To do that, we’re taking a radically different approach to onboarding. On the web, the 90-9-1 rule states 90% of users just read content while only 10% post…so why do we expect 100% of web3 users to perform “write” actions?

Instead, give everyone on the planet a Web3 wallet by default 🫂 to receive airdrops, roylaties, tips, digital gifts, donations, and experience the web3 economy before they have to download apps or learn about seed phrases.

Any experienced crypto user will tell you the BEST WAY TO LEARN WEB3 IS BY DOING. Try out the apps! It’s almost impossible to see the potential before you’ve minted your first NFT, traded your first token, or paid someone across the globe instantly. If everyone has a wallet, there are no barriers to try the amazing dapps that exist today: games, quests, social clubs, collecting, creating, coordinating, and owning a piece of the Internet!

Today, Patch Wallets are being used to:

• 🪂 Airdrop NFTs to Twitter followers or email audience

• 💐 Send NFT gift cards to your family’s email or phone

• 👨‍💼 Businesses create “embedded wallets” for their users like Reddit Vaults

• 🎮 Gaming studios attract new users with prefunded wallets without downloads

• 👛 Tip anyone on the internet to show your gratitude

• 🤲 Donate to a charity, cause, or artist via Twitter handle

Patch Wallets are EIP-4337 account abstraction smart contract wallets with the same address on all EVM chains. These “Smart Accounts” can do everything your MetaMask wallet can do…with some additional super powers like batched transactions, subsidized gas, and continuous improvements via software updates like a Tesla.

Patch Wallets are not another social sign in service for your NFT marketplace or dapp. We are not a SaaS service. We’re the second ever Wallet Protocol…following in the enormous footsteps of the Safe ecosystem (Gnosis Safe) and partly built on the Safe smart contract system. Just like Safe’s focus on secure multi-sig wallets, Patch Wallets are focused on bridging Web2 users to the Web3 economy automatically.

Behind the curtains, Patch Wallets use simple EIP-4337 account abstraction smart contract wallets called Base Accounts, deterministic create2 addresses on all EVM chains, Lit Protocol for signing, and 4337 bundlers and PayMasters. Patch Wallets can receive any amount of tokens and NFTs but don’t get deployed until the user wants to utilize the assets they’ve accumulated (effectively “write” access).

We started off as n00b wallets and played with names like “newbie wallets” and “social wallets” but none of these name fully encompassed everything we want to do and be.

Marc Andreessen describes the internet’s “original sin” as not including native payment rails…a decision that’s led us to the ad-driven, data harvesting current version of the web today. Crypto presents an opportunity to right that wrong and introduce new methods to fund the web and its creators.

To bridge Web2 and Web3, anyone can attach a patch wallet 🩹 to existing digital services: an email, Twitter, telephone number, or other social account. We’re patching the web of its original sin.

Patch wallets are not meant to hold your life savings; they’re meant to be zero effort onboarding into the Web3 economy for your friends, family, and customers.

The doors are open and you can claim your Patch NFT today!

If you’re a founder or marketer, send a Twitter or email airdrop via SocialDrop.xyz.

If you’re a good person, send an NFT gift 🎁 to your mom’s email.

If you’re a dapp or game that wants a Web2 wallet experience, Contact us here.

You’ll want to be early frens. 😉

We appreciate the feedback, testing, ideas, and support from our early community ever since our humble beginnings as n00b wallets at ETHOnline 2022! 🙏

If you’d like to support the project, collect this post on Mirror, go claim your Patch NFT, or join our Discord. Our early users are routinely rewarded. 🤗

And we look forward to many partnerships and experiments as we mature and grow as a protocol! 💪

Earnout Airdrops are tokens that vest over time, rather than all being liquid on Day 1, removing the sell trigger at first. Safe DAO implemented a linear vesting model for $SAFE, and more complex models could be built on streaming protocols like SuperFluid.

Moreover, to continue vesting, users need to hit certain thresholds of protocol usage per month:

• 10 trades on a NFT marketplace

• Maintain a minimum staked/deposited balance

• 5 new user referrals to a DAO

• Write 5 governance posts that get 5 Likes

• Etc

Otherwise your token stream…your streak…gets voided. ❌

Earnout Airdrops would be an interesting way to guarantee monthly active users from airdrop recipients.

Imagine an invoice site that generates and sends a PDF invoice with a temporary escrow account, likely a Safe, on the backend to receive funds from the client. Payment schedules (50% upfront/50% upon completing, week-by-week, etc) are codified in and funds accumulate in the Safe. After completion, the service company/DAO can withdraw privately to their treasury using Aztec’s ZK money or another service.

Once a wallet has 1 of each category (they must trade for them) they can combine them into a Dall-E prompt and mint the resulting image into a PFP.

"A dog wearing a viking helmet goes surfing, in blue digital art style"

"A horse wearing a beer helmet plays pool, in green cypherpunk style."

Then you can repeat with different types of attributes, different AI algos, and increasingly complex prompts. Then move to other media styles like short-form writing (ChatGPT) or short films.

So what would an open web3 political donation machine look like that embraced the real-time payments, radical transparency, and audibility that Web3 technology uniquely offers?

1. Give every member of Congress a wallet via a Gnosis Safe or newbie wallet.

2. Issue a “Crypto Policy Supporter” NFT to each politician with an “A” grade in the Crypto Action Network or another source to reflect who really understands digital asset potential, encourages innovation, and votes favorably for it. A ChainLink oracle mints and burns these NFTs every month based on the offchain source.

3. Donations of ETH, stablecoins, or any ERC-20 are collected in a Safe and streamed to the NFT holders via 0xSplits or Superfluid.

Market the service and get enough donations to really matter to these politicians and incentive them to get on the Crypto Policy Supporter list.

The same Web3 Political Donation Machine could be set up for other causes that folks care about. And organizations like HODLpac and The Giving Block could help solve the operational and accounting needs for accepting these donations.

Fundraising has been a killer app of crypto since 2017 so let’s use it to encourage sensible and pro-innovation Web3 policy via a Web3 Political Donation Machine.

Author gets 70% of payments + 2ndary sales, protocol 20%, and first 10 collectors split 10%.

Being early counts! 💰 First 3 collectors get special edition and royalties 🪙 Top 10 get early adopter version and smaller royalties 🥂 Top 100 get “tastemaker” version 🧐 Everyone else gets “collector” version

Users collect to be early (“First”), speculate on royalties, signal support, and add to their curated collect (“Best startup tips”).

Collecting is a sign of support bigger than retweets. Like < RT < Collect. Lens and Mirror have done this well.

FireStarter is “Gelato for Lit Actions”, allowing any Lit Action to be kicked off based on onchain events, token prices or as cron jobs. It’s Zapier for your wallet AND can talk to the off-chain world (vs Furucombo/DeFi Saver).

I believe this is currently the best tech to build a true “Web3 super app” or X.com as Elon likes to say.

With FireStarter, you could write open-source (stored on IPFS) scripts to do: * Dex Limit Orders (important right now!) * Dynamic NFT updates * Liquidation protection (also imp right now) * Any arbitrary Automation

Imagine enabling the “Aave Saver” bot 🤖 on your wallet which would take any dormant capital (ETH, USDC) and auto-deposit into Aave to start earning yield. It reimburses itself for gas from the yield, then you keep the rest. It auto-withdraws if you try to send the capital. 🤯

We’re only beginning to unlock the potential of “automated finance” and Lit Actions / FireStarter would be the best trustless way to do it. 🔥

During application period, curators, who stake 5 ETH, vote whether the project is fraudulent or not. Curators must vote 10 times a week or face a slashing penalty paid to the Vault. Otherwise they are paid share tokens from inflation.

If 3 or more curators mark a project as fraudulent 🚫, it enters the challenge process. The project can refute the fraud by staking 1 ETH (10x) to add evidence and restart application process. Two challenges are allowed and then it gets decided by a Kleros court & loser is financially penalized.

Let's say you're a DeFi wallet that helps new crypto users deposit funds into DeFi protocols to earn yield. What if you could earn some percentage of their yield for referring them?

Referral vaults could be a modified version of ERC-4626 where the accrued tokens are split between multiple wallet addresses: some % to the depositor and some % to the referrer. So if you're a hot wallet app with 1M users who each deposit 100 USDC...and you split earned yield 50/50 with the depositor, you could be earning ~$2M assuming a 4% APY. In bull cycles this gets even more juicy and doesn't take into account protocol token rewards.

Referral vaults could be built on top of Aave, Compound, Lido, etc. and possibly use 0xSplits for the yield earnings break out. Users pay for the convenience and possibly yield optimization.

DAO ops teams regularly initiate transactions like approvals, votes, recurring payouts, yield deposits/withdrawals, and trades through a Gnosis Safe (Safe DAO) but are delayed days or weeks by getting enough owners to “opt-in” and sign the transaction. This is the #1 problem we hear about from DAO ops teams. 🥇

The Optimistic Transaction app switches DAOs to an “opt out” model for low-risk transactions. Anyone on the multi-sig can propose a tx, which can be vetoed during a delay period (usually 24hrs), and then is executed automatically.

It works using the optimistic-modifer which we’ve developed from a fork of the Zodiac delay-modifier and Gelato service to execute the tx automatically. Spending limits and scope guards can be used to reduce the risk of a rogue transaction getting executed and each DAO ops team can tune the available transactions to the needs of the DAO. This app would speed up the operating speed of DAOs considerably! 🏎️💨
