Currently, Bitcoin is priced at $90.16K, influenced by the upcoming interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan.

In the ten years of turbulence in the crypto world, the term "trilemma" has haunted every developer like a ghost. However, as the timeline progresses into early 2026, third-party validators are witnessing this once seemingly insurmountable dilemma gradually transform into a "design threshold" that can be alleviated through technological innovation. Recently, Vitalik Buterin's words have reignited industry imagination about the conclusion of this decade-long debate: compared to simply reducing latency, increasing network bandwidth is safer and more reliable. Through PeerDAS and zero-knowledge proof technology, Ethereum's scalability can achieve thousands of times of growth, and this does not fundamentally conflict with decentralized validation.
So, can the trilemma, once considered a physical law, truly dissipate gradually with the maturity of PeerDAS, ZK technology, and account abstraction? More importantly, third-party node operators and validators will play a role in this technological revolution.

January 2026 has arrived, and past predictions are becoming reality. Approximately $10 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds will mature in this year, with nearly 70% being short-term debt, forming an insurmountable "Fourth Wall." This is not just a fiscal number issue but a stress test of policy, markets, and investor dynamics. The Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, and market participants are all seeking their answers within this predetermined debt peak.
Three Mountainous Pressures: Why is the Maturity Wave called the "Fourth Wall"?
To understand the meaning of this "wall," we need to first examine its structure.
Simply looking at the $10 trillion figure can be misleading. From a different perspective: the total maturing amount for the entire year of 2026 is equivalent to the total of Treasury bond maturities over three consecutive years (2008-2010) following the 2008 financial crisis. This comparison more clearly reveals the pressure of the "Fourth Wall"—not only in scale but also in impact.

The article discusses the profit and value capture capabilities of DeFi lending protocols, pointing out that although the rise of treasuries and strategy platforms makes lending yields seem modest, from the perspective of the overall on-chain credit stack, lending protocols are actually the strongest value capturers.
