AI coding revolution reshaping Web3: from technical execution to creative imagination

2026-01-08 11:40:11

【Crypto World】AI-driven “Intuitive Coding” is quietly changing the way Web3 creators work. The trend promoted by Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, allows developers to generate production-level code directly through natural language commands—sounds simple, but it fundamentally changes the game.

Why is this so critical? Web3 investor Simon Kim provides an answer: the role of founders is shifting from code writers to vision editors, with focus moving from technical research to community management and ecosystem design. The rapid popularity of tools like Lovable proves this—achieving $100 million in annual recurring revenue in just 8 months; even small teams like Hyperliquid are remarkable, with only 11 core members, yet expected to handle $3 trillion in transaction volume by 2025.

What does this mean behind the scenes? As execution becomes increasingly commoditized, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju points out that the industry is undergoing a transformation—“from the era of execution to the era of imagination.” In this new era, the true moat is no longer lines of code, but community trust and innovative imagination.

No, does this mean I really don't need to write code anymore? So all the years I spent learning were in vain? Haha

No more words, this is the future of Web3. Damn, someone finally gets the point. AI coding isn't new, but what really matters are ideas and the community. Now I understand. 11 people doing 3 trillion? That's crazy. This is a dimensionality reduction attack.

Wow, this is the real dimensionality reduction attack. You can start a business without coding? So all my hard work learning Solidity was for nothing?

Wow, this is why now a lot of people without technical backgrounds can also create projects... AI writing code really lowers the barrier, but it also feels quite risky, with quality varying greatly.

Wow, do I really not need to know how to code now? So all my years of learning were for nothing?

Ha, it's another story of AI changing the world. This time, it's Web3... But 11 people handling 3 trillion in transaction volume? I feel like that's a bit unbelievable.

Wow, this is why everyone now wants to be a product manager instead of coding... AI handles the technology, and people just need to brag? That's a bit mysterious.
