Lately, I've started to get tired of social mining, points, badges, and all that. Frankly, whether the gears of leverage/margin/liquidation in the protocol mesh well together can be roughly gauged just by looking at the parameter table; but many point systems are more like using your attention as collateral—checking in daily, sharing, engaging in groups—your time gets drained without necessarily gaining any certainty.
Modularization and the DA layer narrative development are flying high among developers, while ordinary users are often confused, which is normal. After all, they only use a few buttons, but in the end, the blame often falls on "I didn't keep up with the tasks." My current stance is simple: do what can be done on-chain in one go; if it can't be finished, then forget it—don't turn yourself into a peripheral device for badges. I still believe that in the long run, what will remain are not leaderboards, but protocols with clear structures and explanations for issues.
