Taiko Takes 🥡 Why 2026 Will Be Different: 2025 was about proving the technology works. 2026 is about proving it matters. We have sub-2-second preconfirmations. 100% ZK coverage. Institutional partnerships. The infrastructure is proven. But proving the tech works is only half the equation. The other half is demonstrating why it matters. 2026 is when technical excellence meets strategic focus. We're continuing to advance the stack while simultaneously finding the applications that actually need what we've built. Building based rollups was technically hard. Finding product-market fit while continuing innovation is strategically harder. Not every application needs credible neutrality. Not every developer cares about decentralized sequencing. Not every user thinks about censorship resistance. Based rollups are for applications that will still matter in ten years. Infrastructure that needs to outlast any single operator. Systems where credible neutrality isn't optional. Technical development continues. But the real milestone is different: finding the builders who need what only based rollups can provide. 2025 proved we can build it. 2026 proves whether it matters. The future is based. But it's selective.
