2026 might just flip the script for DEX builders. Like, completely.



Here's how things roll right now:

You chase VC money. Build out your infrastructure from scratch. Design a UI that hopefully doesn't suck. Then comes the brutal part—spending a year and a half trying to bootstrap liquidity. Launch anyway with whatever liquidity you managed to scrape together. And then? You're stuck in this endless loop of negotiating with market makers, begging for volume, fighting for visibility.

It's exhausting. Every team goes through the same grind.

But 2026? That's when DEX builders finally catch a break. New infrastructure. Better tools. Smarter liquidity solutions. The whole game changes when you don't have to rebuild the wheel every single time.

The builders who see this shift coming? They're gonna dominate.

ngl 2026 sounds a bit too optimistic now. Right now, these VCs don't care how smart your infrastructure is; they'll just cut anyway.
