Happy New Years! 🎩 To every holder, builder, creator, and Degen who believed early, thank you. 2026 is about shipping more, connecting more, and pushing the Degen culture forward together.

If you’re building for a crypto-native audience and your main product is trading, you have to accept the uncomfortable truth: the TAM is tiny and you are not building a consumer app. You’re building for power users, and you’re competing with every other casino on the internet at the same time: Uniswap, pump.fun, OpenSea, Polymarket, the CEXes, all of it. The reason these businesses still work is power laws. A handful of users drive most of the volume. Last month the top 0.2% of OpenSea users did half the volume, and the top 0.06% of Polymarket users did half the volume. That’s the game. The thing that should keep you up at night isn’t onboarding more users, it’s retaining your top accounts. Which is also why defensibility is so weak. Power users are mercenary, incentives work, and a competitor can come out of nowhere and steal a meaningful chunk of your business by poaching a few whales. The only real moat is staying one step ahead and shipping fast.

Gm Degens! We've just added 5 fresh invite codes in the app, so please share the love with friends. This week, we’re shipping some nice UI/UX polish, and a small integration should drop by the end of the week. Appreciate you all!

Degen has two sides: the brand/meme side and the utility side. On the brand side, we have some nice updates cooking for next year. Not trying to overhype it, but I’m really stoked about what’s coming. On the utility side, we are going full steam on Degen Hub. Also, the chain keeps quietly doing its thing with some of the lowest fees out there. Still seeing around 10k daily transactions even without us pushing it, which is pretty cool to see. Zooming out, I feel really good about where we are headed. Prices are down right now, but we have honestly been grinding harder than ever behind the scenes. Excited to share more as things get ready.

The team is cooking so hard right now. I’m genuinely proud of what we’re building. Over the next few weeks, we’ve got some releases on deck that I’m hyped about. Happy we’re shipping again. Now that v1 is out, it finally feels like we can get into a more regular, timely cadence on the app. And it’s not just that. We’ve also got a dope parallel project running in the background. Piece by piece, it’s all coming together.

Getting tipping live in the Degen Hub is a big win. It made it through Apple review, and that paves the way for the next feature we want to drop before Christmas.
