Infrastructure is mature. 2026 is the "Execution Year."



We’ve moved from building the plumbing to scaling the apps.

Top trends for 2026:

1. Agentic Finance: AI agents as autonomous economic actors via x402 protocol. Machine-to-machine commerce is live.

2. Storage Wars: Walrus ($WAL) challenging the Arweave/Filecoin duopoly with a high-speed CDN model.

3. Modular Dominance: L2s now handle 90% of Ethereum execution. Blob space changed the game.

The machine-native economy is no longer sci-fi. It's the 2026 operating system.
