The Web3 ecosystem in 2026 will usher in several major technological breakthroughs worth paying attention to.



First is the autonomous trading capability of AI Agents. With the implementation of the x402 protocol and ERC-8004 standard, agents will have the authority to independently hold digital assets, pay for services autonomously, and gradually build a reputation system through on-chain interactions. This means AI no longer needs human manual approval for each operation, truly achieving decentralized autonomous decision-making.

Secondly, the impact of perpetual contract DEXs on the traditional financial derivatives market. As on-chain perpetual contract exchanges continue to improve their functionality and enhance user experience, more traders will be attracted to decentralized derivatives platforms. Compared to traditional futures markets, on-chain perpetual contracts offer higher transparency and lower entry barriers, and this wave could reshape the entire derivatives trading landscape.
