Looking Ahead to 2026

Entering the new year, we're committed to building on our core strengths. The priority remains crystal clear: sustain a robust, developer-centric API infrastructure that serves both Bitcoin and Fractal seamlessly.

What does this mean in practice? Fractal's APIs stay free—no hidden costs, no surprise fees. We're doubling down on performance, ensuring high-speed operations that don't compromise on reliability. More importantly, the data structures align perfectly with Bitcoin mainnet standards, eliminating friction for developers migrating between chains or building cross-chain solutions.

This isn't just about maintaining status quo. It's about creating an environment where builders can focus on what matters—shipping great products—rather than wrestling with infrastructure headaches.

free api sounds nice until you realize the real tax is latency. actually ran some calldata compression benchmarks last week - fractal's looking decent on throughput but let's see if they actually hold sub-100ms on mainnet conditions. basis points matter.

Free API sounds good, but I'm worried it's just a paper promise. They say they are developer-centric every day, but in the end, it still depends on actual performance later. Whether this wave can truly eliminate cross-chain barriers, we'll see after launch. Compared to these declarations, I really want to see how many projects are actually using Fractal's ecosystem. Without practical applications to support it, even the strongest infrastructure is useless. Bitcoin standard compatibility is indeed a selling point, but others say the same.

Free API sounds good, but truly maintaining stable performance is the real key. Regarding compliance with mainnet standards, will the migration cost for developers really decrease, or is it just another round of marketing? I'm optimistic about the Fractal direction, but I still want to see what it looks like when the deadline at the end of 2026 arrives.

Free API? Sounds good, but I'm worried it's just another scheme that seems free but actually cuts the leeks... Hurry up and get on board; stable infrastructure is what really matters They're also talking about developer friendliness... Let's see how it actually performs before making any judgments Waiting until 2026? How's it working now? Basically, they just want to attract developers. Who are they competing against?
