Looking ahead to 2026, launching yet another DEX—whether spot, perpetual futures, or a hybrid model—feels like a zero-sum game. The odds of actually expanding the broader crypto ecosystem? Slim to none. Unless, of course, you're just chasing retail volume to exit eventually.

We need a different approach. Rather than adding to the noise, the real opportunity lies in collaborating with builders who can push boundaries. Teams willing to innovate beyond the standard playbook. That's where the actual value gets created.

Another DEX? Wake up, this is just another scheme to trap retail investors.

theoretically speaking, if we model DEX proliferation as recursive SNARKs competing for the same state space... yeah, this is exactly the blockchain trilemma playing out in real time. another L2 dex won't expand shit unless it solves the cross-rollup interoperability vector. which... spoiler alert, nobody's actually doing.

Another DEX? Come on, this trick has been played out long ago. Unless they can truly innovate, it's just a scheme to scam money.

Another DEX? Seriously, this routine is played out. It's better to find a few innovative teams to develop something new. What's the use of just competing over trading pairs?
