The turbulence of 2025 has fully demonstrated the vitality of the Web3 industry. After the big waves and淘沙, this ecosystem is still evolving and growing. Turning into 2026, the "second half" of the game has already begun.



The latest annual report from industry research institutions points out that this is a critical moment when the "first half" transitions into the "second half." This is not just a matter of time passing, but a paradigm shift. From hollow narratives and exaggerated promises, we are gradually moving towards real delivery and practical applications — this is the core test that the Web3 ecosystem will face in 2026.

Many projects and platforms have already begun adjusting their strategies, shifting from mere concept hype to product iteration and user experience refinement. Market tolerance for "storytelling" is decreasing, while expectations for "getting things done" are rising. In the second half, it’s no longer about who writes the most impressive white paper, but about who can implement technology, retain users, and truly bring the ecosystem to life.

Honestly, it's the same narrative again... How many years have we been hearing about the second half? There are only a few truly implementable projects, easily counted on one hand. A pile of whitepapers, but can they really retain users? This time it's all talk, and next month they'll be hyping a new concept again.

That's true, but don't celebrate too early. How many projects can actually be implemented? Most are still in the pie-in-the-sky stage.

Well said, finally someone dares to criticize those flashy whitepapers. Only projects that can truly survive are the real deal; others are just empty. 2026 will really be interesting; let's see who can make it to the end.

This time, it's really about who can survive. The era of storytelling is over.

Basically, it's about who really has the substance. The era of storytelling should be over.
