The pace of innovation we're about to witness will be unlike anything we've seen before. What took decades to achieve across all previous years—protocol upgrades, infrastructure breakthroughs, consensus mechanisms, scaling solutions—we're about to compress into the next 5 years. The blockchain technology stack is maturing fast. Layer-2 networks, cross-chain interoperability, smart contract efficiency gains, security auditing tools—these aren't just incremental updates. They're foundational shifts. And that's before we factor in AI integration, quantum-resistant cryptography, and whatever moons
