Between Progress and Focus: Reflections from the First Web3 Committee Meeting of 2026

On March 18, 2026, the first Web3 Committee meeting of the year took place.

As mentioned, this is not a full report. Some topics are confidential. Instead, I’m sharing my personal impressions, how the discussions felt and the direction the ecosystem seems to be heading.

Team & Dynamics

The team around Vision currently appears to be well positioned.

With more developers involved in the project, discussions have become more concrete and closer to implementation. At the same time, the challenge remains to consistently translate these perspectives into decisions and to effectively integrate new team members.

My impression: there is clear strategic alignment, the real challenge now lies in consistent execution.

Vision Chain & Next Steps

The discussions focused less on new ideas and more on concrete next steps, particularly around Vision Chain.

The ambition is clear: a Layer 2 solution that is relevant for institutions as well as retail users and DeFi developers.

Workshops with financial institutions are already underway to incorporate requirements early on. There is clear interest, but whether this translates into scalable adoption remains to be seen.

From a thematic perspective, the direction is clearly toward real-world assets such as tokenised securities, real estate, or private credit.

The key point: it’s not just about technology, but about meaningfully connecting existing financial structures with Web3.

Product, Usage & Systems Thinking

A central topic was how to drive real usage.

The focus is less on new features and more on evolving existing mechanisms, with the goal of increasing usage while reducing complexity.

At the same time, there are no guarantees as to how much usage can actually be influenced.

In parallel, there is a clearer effort to better align products, token design, and user experience. This makes sense, but raises the question of how tangible this connection will be for users.

The stronger alignment around a shared identity, especially centred on the Vision Token, points in the same direction.

Reality Over Vision

The discussions have become significantly more concrete.

There is less emphasis on high-level concepts and more focus on real usage, target groups, and trust – particularly in the institutional context.

This feels more grounded, but also highlights that many questions remain open, especially when it comes to actual adoption.

Token & Governance

The Token model is becoming more refined and increasingly focused on sustainability and balance, while also growing in complexity.

The open question remains: will this model stay understandable for users?

I can also share that the first governance vote is already being prepared.

It is definitely a step in the right direction, giving Vision Token holders their first opportunity to participate in decision-making.

Conclusion

Less hype, more systems – but also more open questions.

The focus is clearly on functional mechanisms and real usage rather than high-level concepts alone.

This also shifts the challenge: systems must not only be built, but understood, adopted, and sustained over time.

How well this will work remains to be seen in the coming months, but we are on a promising path.
