Today it was raining and traffic was so bad I started to question my life—heck, even the coffee in the car went cold… and on-chain, it’s colder. I recently went to test a new pool for a blockchain game; basically, it’s “too efficient at producing,” and it ends up killing itself. Tokens get issued every day like they’re free. Players rely on selling tokens to scrape back their costs, and once the studio steps in, it gets even nastier—mining-rig-style batch production. The sell pressure drags the token price straight down. Once the price falls, everyone gets even more desperate to sell, the pool’s liquidity gets drained, and in the end only the contract permissions are left in the project team’s hands. They can tweak the parameters whenever they want, and there’s no need to spin the narrative too much. Anyway, for this kind of “try-at-your-own-risk” testing, I just keep an eye on the flow of funds and admin permissions—if I can run, I run… and if I mess up, I’ll just treat it like paying tuition.
