Institutions Prepare for Onchain Capital Deployment in 2026
Institutions Prepare for Onchain Capital Deployment in 2026
馃彟 Institutions go onchain
2026 marks a turning point as large institutions prepare to deploy significant capital onchain, but with different requirements than early DeFi.
What institutions demand:
- Execution constraints and onchain policies
- Strong access control mechanisms
- No need for new smart contracts with each strategy change
- Infrastructure that's automated, conditional, and auditable
The challenge: Onchain capital must function like modern financial infrastructure while leveraging crypto's settlement advantages. Institutions need exposure without the chaos of traditional DeFi.
The solution: Infrastructure platforms like Mimic abstract blockchain complexity, allowing institutions to execute onchain logic securely without building custom infrastructure. This approach respects how institutions actually operate while enabling them to benefit from onchain settlement.
Onchain allocation is inevitable, but scaling requires infrastructure that bridges institutional operations with blockchain technology.
2026 is the year large institutions deploy meaningful capital onchain. But it won鈥檛 be the same as early DeFi. Institutions want exposure without chaos: - Execution constraints - Onchain policies - Strong access control - No new smart contracts every time a strategy changes
Mimic Protocol Deploys Breaking Update - All Tasks Will Be Deleted
Mimic Protocol is rolling out a major update to its libraries and SDK that includes breaking changes. **Critical Action Required:** - All existing tasks, triggers, and executions will be deleted during deployment - Dashboards will be completely empty after the update - Users must update their implementations to maintain functionality **Steps to Continue Using Mimic:** 1. Pull the latest version 2. Recompile your code 3. Re-upload everything **New Version Numbers:** - mimicprotocol/cli: 0.0.1-rc.36 - mimicprotocol/lib-ts: 0.0.1-rc.36 - mimicprotocol/sdk: ^0.0.1-rc.33 - mimicprotocol/test-ts: 0.0.1-rc.36 The team is available to assist with any issues or questions during the migration process.
New Protocol Launches to Simplify Onchain Development for 2026 Hackathon Season
**2026 hackathon season approaches** with a new protocol designed to streamline blockchain development. The platform promises to help developers: - Ship projects faster - Build with greater ease - Maintain security standards - **Eliminate infrastructure management** Developers can now focus on building onchain applications without the typical overhead of managing complex backend systems. This timing aligns perfectly with the upcoming hackathon wave, potentially lowering barriers for new builders entering the space. *Perfect timing for developers looking to participate in 2026's hackathon circuit.*
Mimic Reflects on Devcon Buenos Aires, Sets 2026 Web3 Development Goals
**Mimic shared key takeaways** from their experience at Ethereum Foundation's Devcon in Buenos Aires, highlighting how the event reinforced their mission in the Web3 space. The team emphasized that **Buenos Aires reminded them why they're building** in the decentralized ecosystem, suggesting the conference provided valuable perspective on their development goals. **Looking ahead to 2026**, Mimic announced ambitious plans to become a core component of Web3 development infrastructure. The company had previously expressed excitement about attending Devcon in Argentina, noting the country's position as a leading crypto hub where builders actively create the future rather than waiting for it.
Mimic Protocol Gains Ethereum Foundation Recognition After Successful Devconnect
**Mimic Protocol had a strong November** with several key achievements: - **Official recognition**: Ethereum featured Mimic on their official X account - **Event participation**: Joined TecWeek 2025 and ran 3 pre-Devconnect workshops - **Devconnect success**: Their booth and prediction game at EF Devcon drew significant engagement - **Community events**: Hosted multiple side events including Builders Brunch, DevNVibe, and a private wine night - **Speaking opportunities**: Team gave talks at ETHConAR, Lightning Stage, Summit DeFi, and ETH/ACC demo day - **Foundation support**: Received a shoutout from Josh Stark of the Ethereum Foundation The team is now **focusing on December improvements** based on feedback collected during the events. *Big developments are planned for the coming months.*
