Here's my betting list for 2026: It's been a long time since I Chia my list of investment opportunities for 2026. Now that I have some free time, I'm Chia them for your reference, and I think they're pretty good. This will include roles and testnet, retroactive: 1. Rialo - a pretty good funding project at $20 million - compared to Mysten Lab, Pantera, and Coinbase Venture. The person working there is also from Mysten Labs (former developer Sui ). The idea is to replace Oracle. Currently, they will only be grinding roles and builders -> mainnet will be coming soon (this doesn't mean there will be Token, maybe, but there will be Stake , so it's possible). ✅ Overall review: The role seemed a bit underwhelming, especially replacing the CM, but the drawing project and backer were quite good. 2️⃣. Codex - Layer 2 Stablecoin - Dragon fly backer : ✅ Currently, the project is new and under development, only with roles available. I like the role-playing aspect and will follow it further later. 3. Domain protocol: ✅ Domanfi - raise 30M$ lead Paradgim : ✅ If you've been following me for a while, you'll know I've done a lot of projects with this theme. Retro + role - The current role has OG - 25 slots, which is great, but it's probably too late for newcomers. - Retro is still possible, but we need to do it early because season 1 is almost over. 5. Decibel: I chose Decibel because I'm betting on the Aptos system in the upcoming game, not because of Perpdex (I hate Perpdex). 6. Shelby - backer of Aptos + Jump, built a rather demanding array data storage solution, requiring significant resources. They did a great job, plus the reasons mentioned above. 7. Axis Robotics: This is a new project I've worked on, and I have faith in the team. Given the upcoming trends and hints of a funding raise, let's wait and XEM. ✅ In addition, there are two projects I really like but haven't had time to work on yet, especially the role-playing ones: ✅ Liquid - 7.5M Paradigm. In addition, the project develops role systems and takes great care of the community. Therefore, roleplaying is likely to be okay (trading is not encouraged). ✅ Kast - a very big payment token, launching its Q2 Token (developers say so, probably due to delays). Recommended for long-term mining. ✅ I still have 1-2 projects I'm working on, but I can't mention them yet; that's almost 90% of my list already. ✅ Also, I'm not sure about hot projects like Seismic, Virtual, or Raiku because it's quite late now, and I don't mean anything by it.

Maybe we'll add more deals in the future, but we'll decide later :))

Every bet is a failure.
