Vertical L1s are taking over. That's what this cycle is really about.
Look around – specialized chains are popping up everywhere. DeFi has its own infrastructure. IP-focused chains like Camp and Story are carving out their niche. Gaming found its home with Ronin. Even stablecoins got Plasma now.
Each category building its own foundation. Each with custom tech stacks designed for specific use cases.
This trend? It's just getting started. 2026 will double down on this playbook.
