The narrative hotspots in 2026 seem to focus on two main directions: prediction markets and perpetual contracts. But frankly, these two tracks are very likely to enter a stage of severe oversaturation. Looking at history, about 99% of projects will eventually become bubbles, following the old paths of NFT markets, gaming, social applications, and launchpads—fading away silently. This means that the mining profit space is limited, and the returns from serious participation are questionable. Unless you can accurately bet on that 1% of survivors, spending time farming these types of projects will be quite difficult to recoup your investment.
