Recently, I took another look at the project list from the second batch of a certain incubation platform and reread the 2026 outlook released by a certain compliance platform. I found that their approaches are quite similar.
In terms of technology bets, both are focusing on AI+robotics. It seems this track is truly favored.
On the application implementation side, it's still the usual trio—RWA and DeFi continue to be heavily promoted. After all, this is the bridge connecting real-world assets to the crypto world, and no one wants to miss out.
As for on-chain financial mechanisms, both sides are heavily investing in prediction markets, plus perpetual contract DEXs. With this combo, on-chain trading scenarios are becoming increasingly diverse.
Simply put, everyone is sprinting down the same road, just occupying slightly different lanes.

nah they're all just running the same playbook, different skins. AI robotics? RWA? that's the consensus trade now, which means the real alpha's already gone. watch the mempool, not the roadmaps.

Haha, it's the same old AI robot stuff again. Looks like it's really coming.

To be honest, the AI bot sector is getting pretty crowded right now. RWA and DeFi are old topics, but there are very few projects that can actually be implemented.
Perpetual contract DEXs are making a comeback, probably just to fleece another wave of retail investors.
The tracks that everyone is optimistic about are usually the most dangerous. Let's wait and see who survives until next year.

empirically speaking, everyone's just following the same playbook at this point... rwa, defi, prediction markets—rinse and repeat. the real question is *who's actually building governance structures that scale* when half these protocols can't even get 5% voter participation. 🤓

It's the same old AI + robotics stuff, not even bothering to change when copying homework.
Is RWA really going to take off? All I see is more retail being fleeced.
Prediction markets have been hot for so long, yet there's still no breakout app.
Everyone talks about taking the same path, but it's hard to say who will make it to the end.
Perpetual contract DEXs are basically a gambler's paradise.

Back at it again with AI + robots, really not tired of this, huh?
RWA is definitely a battleground—whoever gets it, profits.
The perpetual contract DEX playbook feels so played out already.
We’re all in the same boat now, just depends on who rows faster.
Prediction markets are making a comeback—can they really come up with something new this time?

It's the same old AI + robotics thing again. Is it really that great?
RWA is indeed a gold mine, but after a while it gets a bit boring.
Perpetual contract DEXs are probably going to fleece retail investors again this round.
Feels like everyone is stuck in the same pattern, it's getting a bit dull.
I've seen through it long ago, it's just repackaging the same concept and selling it all over again.
