By 2026, many people will actually do one thing:

Revisit the protocols they use long-term.

It's not because there are more new things, but because at this stage, the tolerance for errors is decreasing.
You will pay more attention to what is "really stable" rather than "looks good."

When I look at @alturax, my focus is very simple.

First is the source of revenue.
Altura's base yield is clear, not supported by subsidies or one-time incentives.
You can roughly judge where the revenue comes from and also predict when it might weaken.
This kind of predictability will become increasingly important over the next year.

Second is transparency.
NAV, PPS, strategy status—these are on-chain information that can be verified.
It's not "trust us," but "you can see for yourself."
This directly affects your psychological expectations of risk.

Another point is the sense of rules.
When can you enter, when can you exit, what happens in extreme cases—Altura provides not vague descriptions but clear boundaries.
For long-term users, the absence of surprises is itself an advantage.

Finally is the team’s status.
They are not just posting updates but repeatedly explaining which strategies are effective, which are not, and why adjustments are made.
This ongoing communication actually helps users understand the system together, rather than just one-way output.

The project selection at the beginning of 2026 essentially involves choosing products that can accompany you for a period of time.
From the points seen so far, @alturax indeed seems like a project that can be seriously included in a long-term list.
