Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik Buterin says decentralized social media will make a strong comeback in 2026, as open, competing platforms can improve public communication and steer users away from centralized feeds. He criticized many crypto social projects for using speculative tokens that reward influence over real content quality, arguing that this approach creates bubbles rather than meaningful interaction. Buterin highlighted optimism for ecosystems like Lens and Farcaster and pointed out Farcaster’s shift to a wallet‑focused model as part of the space’s evolution.
