After nearly 12 years in the game, we're still pushing boundaries with cutting-edge technology. It's the same story for DigiByte, Monero, Decred, Litecoin, Zcash, and others holding strong in this space.

Everyone's building, iterating, and betting on their vision. But here's the real question: which projects will actually stand the test of time? 2026 might just be the year the market decides. The survivors won't be determined by hype or marketing alone—they'll be the ones with genuine tech, community backing, and staying power.

NGL, projects that have been around for 12 years really do have some skills, but whether they can survive until 2026 really depends on who can achieve practical application. Community and technology are the real indicators; the hype game should have been phased out long ago.

tbh if you look at the data, half these "survivors" are just liquidity traps waiting to happen. 2026 will tell us which ones actually have sustainable returns vs which are just exit scams in slow motion

survival is just another narrative arc waiting to be written... tbh the real test isn't 2026, it's whether these projects can stay unglamorous enough to avoid becoming the next jpeg graveyard. monero gets it—staying boring is actually peak strategy ngl

12 years and still going strong, this resilience is truly unmatched.

The actual data speaks for itself; projects that have survived since 2012 are few and far between... Protocol architecture is the real benchmark. --- In the 2026 qualifying competition, technical validation is the real test; pure hype should have been eliminated long ago. --- Just want to see who can hold up against attack vectors; community consensus is truly more valuable than marketing. --- If cross-chain ecosystem interoperability can't be achieved, even the strongest single chains are just floating clouds; the facts have proven this. --- Holding strong ≠ having a future; it depends on the bridging mechanisms and asset migration efficiency.

Still holding on after 12 years, now that's true skill --- The market test is really right in front of us. Let's see who can survive until the end --- Technology and community, hype is long overdue to be eliminated --- 2026 will be very interesting. Let's see who falls behind --- Projects that survive on real strength are truly different; others are just fleeting clouds --- Those who have persisted until now deserve respect, no matter the outcome --- Community backing is the key; relying solely on promotion is already obsolete
