Looking at DAO proposals, my first reaction isn't "for the community," but rather to figure out where the incentives are hidden: who gets to vote for what, what you'll lose if you don't, who can submit proposals, who can change parameters, who has an emergency brake. Honestly, many power structures are written into a single line: "The committee may adjust at their discretion," and after voting, you realize you're just pressing a button.

Recently, the economic collapse of blockchain games feels quite similar. Once inflation kicks in and studios enter the scene, the token price spirals, and in the end, it's just "who takes the incentives first and leaves." If incentive design in a DAO is too shortsighted, it's essentially the same script.

Next time, before I vote, I plan to draw a small diagram of "where the money comes from, where it ultimately flows, and who can veto with one vote"... Which part do you think you'll focus on first when reviewing a proposal?
