Speaking of opportunities in 2026, after careful consideration, I still believe the most promising direction is — zero-knowledge proof technology.



Why do I think so? Let me share a few observations:

First is the policy level. For Web3 to achieve true compliance, it needs to protect user privacy while meeting regulatory requirements. Zero-knowledge proofs happen to be the answer to this challenge, enabling verification without exposing data.

Second is technological breakthroughs. Innovations like zkTLS are transferring Web2 data security to the blockchain, and the potential is indeed huge. Leading international exchanges are beginning to focus on privacy protocol projects, which in itself indicates a market shift in perspective.

This stage is quite special. Relevant projects are in the buildup phase before mainnet launch, and the market is still oscillating to accumulate interest. If you want to participate cautiously, focusing on Staking yields is a good choice, as it allows for initial accumulation with relatively lower risk.

This wave of zk can really take off. Major exchanges are all planning for it, it's not just mindless hype.

The zk direction has indeed been underestimated, but is it too late to get in now...

Zero-knowledge proofs are indeed quite powerful this time, combining compliance and privacy on both fronts. I'm also waiting for the mainnet launch.

Zero-knowledge proofs are indeed an opportunity, but it depends on who can survive until then.

This round of zk indeed looks promising, but the key still depends on who will be the first to come out ahead...

This wave of zk is indeed about to rise. Major exchanges are all positioning themselves, and staking should have been on your radar long ago.

Oh wow, zero-knowledge proofs are really interesting. The combination of regulation and privacy hits quite a punch.
