Account abstraction is going to change how most people interact with web3.
The short version is that it lets wallets behave like smart contracts, which means you can have social recovery, pay gas fees in any token, batch multiple transactions together and set spending limits.

TVL up + price down is one of those divergences that tends to catch people off guard.
It often signals accumulation before narrative catches up.
givealotguy@givealotguy
Three things stuck with me this week. @solana's on-chain TVL is growing while price pulls back, historically that's a signal. @aave's multi-chain expansion is quietly massive. @monad is the EVM dark horse nobody in mainstream crypto covers. More coming.
English
DeFi is not the wild west it was in 2020. Protocols have survived, adapted, and grown up.
The infrastructure is better. The yields are more honest. If you dismissed DeFi after the 2022 blowups, it is worth looking again with fresh eyes 👀

A small team shipping every week is often stronger than a large team with perfect token design but no momentum.
Sulivan Jallou@SulivanJallou
The projects that survive bear markets are not always the ones with the best tokenomics. They are the ones with a small team that kept shipping. Developer retention is underrated as a signal.

@ViamBonam The stack is still messy, but the direction is clear.
English
@arkthefuture @HyperliquidX Bootstrapping liquidity without VC is probably the most impressive part.
English
what makes @HyperliquidX interesting isn't the perps.
it's that they built a full-stack chain specifically optimized for financial applications and bootstrapped it without VC. that's a statement about what's possible when you skip the fundraising meta.
English
@yodacryptooffi Stablecoins alone are already a multi-billion daily usage case.
English
People say "crypto needs a killer app."
We already have them:
→ Stablecoins for cross-border payments
→ Prediction markets for real-time crowd intelligence
→ On-chain identity for sybil resistance
The problem isn't the apps. It's the entry point to them.
English
Tokenization isn’t the bottleneck anymore.
Trust, compliance, and legal interoperability are the real infrastructure layer being built.
givealotguy@givealotguy
About 60% of tokenized real-world assets on-chain live on Ethereum right now. The interesting bet isn't which asset gets tokenized first. It's which protocol becomes the compliance layer that institutions actually trust. That race is wide open.
English
@LaCryptoSimple History shows simple + useful beats complex + impressive almost every time.
English
The hardest thing in web3 research is separating "this is technically impressive" from "this will actually be used."
Lots of technically impressive things go nowhere, a few ugly but useful things win everything.
I try to ask both questions every time.
English
Something underappreciated about Ethereum in 2026:
- L2 transactions now cost $0.001–$0.05, so down 90%+ from 2023 levels
- 32M+ ETH staked, 1M+ active validators $158B+ in stablecoins sitting on Ethereum rails
So the price is down but the network is at all-time high usage.
English
Stablecoin supply just crossed $316B ATH in Q1 2026
and here's the part most people miss: less than 25% is sitting on exchanges now the rest is in self-custody wallets or locked in RWA yield protocols stablecoins stopped being casino chips.
They're becoming a bank account! 💎
English
Fully agree, right now if @solana manages to get out of the sluggish phase it’s in, players like Meteora or Jupiter will be indirect winners from the return of users
ProcessMusicHer@processmusicher
Gem of the week. @MeteoraAG on Solana. $964M TVL, top 10 DeFi protocol on the chain, Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker model, no token yet. Season 3 of the points program ends May 25. Coinbase Ventures is in.
English
@zupertrader Clearly, we’re dealing with themes that can completely disrupt several sectors of our current economy.
English
Web3 crossed $68B in early 2026.
A year ago people were calling it dead.
Four narratives are actually running this cycle: RWA tokenization, DePIN infrastructure, ZK proofs in production, and account abstraction.
None of them are hype but with real numbers behind them.
English
Watching Hyperliquid add commodity and equity perps made me realize something.
DeFi isn't just rebuilding TradFi anymore it's running 24/7 while TradFi closes on weekends that asymmetry will matter more and more as institutions start treating on-chain as the primary venue.
English
And that’s exactly how you reward users for actually using the protocol, not for mindless farming, because it directly aligns incentives with real usage and product value.
ProcessMusicHer@processmusicher
Most airdrop hunters are optimizing for wallet quantity and task volume. But @HyperliquidX, @LayerZero_Core and @MeteoraAG all moved toward rewarding genuine usage over farming behavior in their distributions. The game got more honest. That is good news!
English
We’ve clearly evolved a lot since 2017 among builders and people deep in the space, but if we want to level up, we need to evolve again.
DailyStoryWeb3@DailyStoryFr
hot take: the next 10x in DeFi won't come from a new primitive. it'll come from someone packaging existing primitives so well that a non-crypto person can actually use them, the tech is there, the UX isn't.
English
@HinterTrader Exactly, staying focused on users, actual usage, and value creation!
English
I think, the protocols that survived 2022 did one thing differently: they had real users before the bull, not airdrop hunters, actual users. For me, that's the filter for 2026 too!
English
We’ve barely evolved on that front in almost 10 years, maybe it’s time to move forward!
Maniaqx0@Maniaqx0
guys, the wallet is the first impression of web3. but now it's like showing up to a job interview and being asked to memorize 12 random words before you're allowed in the building.
English
Account abstraction progress is one of those things that compounds quietly every wallet that ships social recovery or gas sponsorship makes crypto 10% less terrifying for a new user.
This is how adoption actually works, not hype cycles, infrastructure!
English
@HinterTrader You can also add @HyperliquidX and @arbitrum, and especially @ethereum, which we always tend to forget!
English
In the current market, fees don't lie.
$AAVE, $UNI, $GMX still generating real revenue in a bear market. That's not luck, that's product-market fit. Price is a distraction rn, nothing else!
