The first words of 2026: may we no longer be led by emotions.

If I were to write the first words for 2026, I would choose a non-radical phrase: may this year, we be able to stay in the market more rationally. After experiencing the ups and downs of cycles, more and more Web3 participants realize that what truly determines long-term gains is never a single surge, but whether we can stay clear-headed most of the time. For me, 2026 is not about "another round of madness," but a test of patience, rhythm, and self-discipline.

Web3 is gradually shifting from narrative-driven to focusing on value and practical use cases. Whether it’s infrastructure, AI, DeFi, or the way memes exist, everything is becoming more real and more brutal. This year, I hope to be an observer and builder, rather than a chase after market trends.

Welcoming 2026 together with Web3 users worldwide is essentially a collective growth. When we are no longer eager to prove ourselves by catching the "next big thing," perhaps we are truly standing at the beginning of a new cycle.
