2026 is over. Five paragraphs on what shipped and what I'm carrying into next year.
Faktorist: More producers, more buyers, more markets — and the credit module out the door in February. Eighteen months end-to-end on credit — slower than I'd hoped, the right pace in hindsight.
The book: In its final stretch, in three languages — each edition adapted, not merely translated.
Made-in-Ukraine: Two more issues and a podcast that kept its weekly rhythm. The autumn issue's agri-export feature was the most-shared piece we've published.
FTR: Testnet through the year, mainnet pushed to 2027. Allowlist weighted toward Faktorist counterparties. Whitepaper v2 with revised tokenomics.
Refereeing: A full UPL season plus international assignments through Referee Abroad. Knee held. One call I'd like back.
