2026 is becoming a watershed year for payment infrastructure. Systems that can simultaneously master trust, scalability, and verifiability no longer need to compromise on speed. What does this mean? It means the next-generation payment networks must break through in three dimensions: ensure transaction immutability (trust), support large-scale concurrent processing (scalability), and allow each transaction to be independently verified (transparency), while maintaining lightning-fast settlement speeds. This is a hard metric that will eliminate solutions that can only balance two of these aspects.

The era of choosing two out of three is really coming to an end. That's true, but on the other hand, how many systems can truly balance all three at the same time?

Alright, it's the same old story about the "all-in-one system" dream. Will it be achievable by 2026? I doubt it.

It sounds like 2026 will be a true qualifying race, and the plans that fall behind by then will probably be out.

Honestly, this set of theories sounds beautiful, but how many people can actually do it all? Most are still just weighing and experimenting. --- 2026? I'm watching it. By then, it will depend on whose marketing can better fool people. --- Can all three dimensions explode simultaneously? Is this technically feasible, or is it just another wave of hype around new concepts? --- The ones that can't be eliminated have long been backed by capital. No one will be unlucky enough to be on the losing end. --- Lightning settlement? I just want to know if the transaction fees will also spike lightning-fast. --- There's nothing wrong with this logic; I've just never seen a network that can truly achieve it.

Basically, it's waiting for a solution that can satisfy everyone. Is that realistic?

Honestly, it's very difficult for the Trinity to take off simultaneously. Who has truly achieved it now?

In plain terms, it's time to face the music. Projects without real skills should be eliminated.
