2026 will be the year when art finally breaks free from being merely consumed and becomes truly owned. The shift is fundamental—artists won't create for galleries and platforms anymore, they'll build economies around their work. Creativity transforms into tangible value through blockchain infrastructure and community support, flipping the entire creator model on its head. What started as digital experiments now becomes mainstream culture. Artists emerge as leaders of their own destinies, controlling distribution, royalties, and community engagement directly. It's not about decoration or endless scrolling through content feeds anymore. It's about believers, ownership stakes, and real economic participation. This isn't just a trend; it's a structural reorganization where creative power returns to creators themselves.

Sounds impressive, but can it really be achieved? Most of the current blockchain projects are still just cutting leeks...
