Here's the reality: merely slapping on a prediction feature won't cut it anymore. What we're seeing is the addition of an optional tab—functional, sure, but surface-level.

The thing is, 2026 will be the dividing line. Protocols that dig deep win. Those that don't? They fade away quietly.

It's not just about having the feature. It's about what comes with it—real liquidity architecture. Native incentive systems built into the DNA. Deep integration across the entire ecosystem, not just a side door.

The ones that understand this will thrive. The rest will be yesterday's news.

It's the same old story... Is 2026 really a watershed year? I feel like someone has been calling for a watershed every year.

Most projects haven't fully thought through the integration of the deep ecosystem.

NGL, that's why a bunch of projects are slacking off... the ones that are truly competitive are still just a few.

ngl this hits different after watching projects die the same way back in my mining days. surface-level features are basically the new vaporware at this point... real liquidity architecture or bust honestly

Surface functionality is outdated; it needs to have depth.

The watershed year of 2026, without real substance, truly can't hold up.

It's the same old "deep integration" rhetoric, and it's getting tiresome. Everyone keeps talking about the 2026 meme, but by that time, I guess it's still going to be the same project alive.
