Syscoin Re-poster

As we enter the final weekend of January, it is the perfect time to reflect on our progress. The pace of development is accelerating rapidly as The Forge draws near. A new team of developers is currently finalizing the vital infrastructure required to support the incoming influx of users. Meanwhile, the Syscoin Bitcoin-secured PoW network is fully prepared for action. Be sure to secure your position now before the rewarded ecosystem officially goes live.

We have successfully wrapped up the third week, a period that clearly showcased the distinct benefits of Bitcoin Proof-of-Work. We are witnessing a remarkable surge in energy from developers throughout Africa and Latin America. Additionally, the recent teaser for The Forge has generated significant excitement, all supported by a team with a verified history of success. Operations are shifting into overdrive as we enter the final week. While users are the foundation of the network, it is the builders who define this era. As our Bitcoin-centered infrastructure prepares for activation, this serves as the final notice before The Forge commences.

As January concludes, the outlook is undeniable. Bitcoin has confirmed its status as the necessary bedrock rather than the final destination, while the architecture of Syscoin expands that foundation to secure the future. This approach has been validated in Honduras, and a fresh generation of developers is already building upon the network. The Forge represents our next major milestone.

The arrival of February initiates the acquisition sprint. We are now in the final week to establish your position before the rewarded participation program goes live. Our focus remains strictly on lasting infrastructure rather than speculation, as we continue to build for the long term.

While most networks established in 2014 have become history, Syscoin continues to thrive. This longevity is driven by deliberate architecture rather than luck. In this thread, we analyze the engineering pillars that have secured 11 years of ongoing operation in a landscape where competitors have vanished. We will also explain why today's young developers are building on a foundation that has proven its permanence. Key topics include Merged Mining, ChainLocks, UTXO + EVM, and PoDA. 🧵

Infrastructure creates a compounding loop. It begins with young developers building, which allows The Forge to reward users, thereby fostering more adoption and legitimacy to attract further builders. A new generation is actively expanding the foundation as we look toward Syscoin 2026. The Forge is launching soon. Since early participants capture the most value as users arrive, you should stake your claim before this compounding begins.

The situation in Venezuela indicates that LATAM is in the midst of substantial changes. Because populations crave stability during uncertain times, the region requires trusted infrastructure to facilitate reconstruction. Progress is already evident, as seen in Honduras where they have validated Bitcoin-secured ballot attestation. Furthermore, young Latin American devs are actively building upon the solid foundation of PoW. Forecasts suggest the blockchain market in Latin America will expand from $0.80B to $57.30B by 2033. Ultimately, Bitcoin wins. You would be wise to position accordingly.

Week 2 is complete with Q1 market positioning established. Momentum from devs with fresh blood is visible, effectively breathing new life into the industry. Additionally, government legitimacy is recognized, and Forge anticipation is growing.

Heading into next week, events in Lima, Peru are approaching. Expansion in Africa is accelerating as a fresh generation is building. With Bitcoin PoW infrastructure proven, anticipation rises.

Discover a UTXO + EVM hybrid featuring PoDA native data availability, ChainLocks instant finality, and merged mining Bitcoin security.

This is not borrowed infrastructure; it is a native, Bitcoin-centered L1 architecture.

Young developers do not compromise; instead, they are building on proven PoW fundamentals.

🎓 Proof-of-Builders: 11 projects are advancing, as documented by @Syscoin_Hispano

From Lima, Peru to dozens of African countries, we are seeing 200-400+ young developers showing up per event.

With fresh eyes and no crypto baggage, they evaluated PoS vs PoW and chose Bitcoin security.

This thread explains why the next generation builds on proven infrastructure, not hype. 🧵

Here is what holders secure: a Bitcoin PoW network that young developers choose, infrastructure where The Forge will reward participation, and architecture that governments trust when legitimacy matters.

Don't gamble on PoS narratives. Find value in a proven Bitcoin-centered L1. Stop chasing speculation and choose actual utility.

Experience Bitcoin-level security, sub-cent transaction costs, and instant finality via ChainLocks.

This is not merely theoretical PoW; it is proven Bitcoin-secured infrastructure that governments utilize to deploy electoral systems.

Young developers are choosing to build on this proven architecture rather than relying on empty promises.

Ledger Architects are active across dozens of countries in LATAM and Africa, bringing together 200-400+ young developers per event. A fresh generation is already building infrastructure for rewarded user experiences—spanning DeFi, NFT, staking, and trading—before The Forge launches. Build early; users arrive soon.

January 2026: History shows that Q1 consistently fuels Bitcoin infrastructure growth. As new capital enters the market, the question remains: where will it go? Will it flow toward Bitcoin-secured Proof-of-Work infrastructure—backed by an 11-year record and government validation—or into PoS experiments that may not survive the year? Choose infrastructure, not speculation.

The first week of this push is now complete.

The Bitcoin PoW L1 core has been established, with young developers choosing security over hype. Validation in Honduras is proven, and anticipation for the Forge is building.

Looking ahead to next week: Market momentum is increasing, and holder acquisition intensifies. A fresh generation is building infrastructure that endures.

With the average blockchain lifespan sitting at just 3 years and 65% of 2014 projects now dead, Syscoin distinguishes itself with 11 years of Proof-of-Work operation. We have had no rebrands and no migrations, utilizing the same Bitcoin-secured architecture throughout. Survival isn't luck when you're built on PoW fundamentals, and this is what young builders recognize.

Week 1 of 2026's The Forge has proven what endurance looks like, as we showcased our Bitcoin-secured foundations.

We are seeing new builders joining from every corner of the world.

The Forge draws near, and momentum is compounding.
Week 2 approaches—the architecture of permanence advances.

@LunosDAO represents a compliance-first edgechain with $3.3M+ coverage, while @PrimeLayerHQ is driving BTCFi, led by Syscoin co-founder @BlockchainDan. Both projects evaluated every alternative and chose Syscoin's Bitcoin-secured architecture. Strong teams contribute to a strong ecosystem. Edgechains are launching, Forge is approaching, and momentum is compounding.

A fresh generation has arrived, free from the baggage of failed PoS chains.

We are seeing 200-400+ young developers per event across dozens of countries in LATAM and Africa.

They evaluated everything and ultimately chose Bitcoin’s own Proof of Work. This is the next wave, building before The Forge launches. Are you ready?

While a multitude of platforms advertise 'Bitcoin security,' they often rely on Proof-of-Stake, bridges, or various economic assumptions. Syscoin, however, provides authentic Bitcoin security through merged mining Proof-of-Work.

In this thread, we explore why inheriting direct hashpower is superior to every alternative, and why a new generation of young builders is recognizing this fact. 🧵
