I’ve been lurking in the group chat for a long time, but I can’t help but say this: a lot of governance votes these days, if you put it plainly, are basically “delegating to the big guys.” In the end, the voting page looks pretty decentralized, but it’s becoming more and more like an oligarchs’ meeting. So who exactly is being governed by the governance token? Ordinary people only have a small number of votes—too lazy to research, and also afraid of granting the wrong authorization. In the end, they just delegate with a single click, comforting themselves with, “Professionals do professional things”… and then those professionals keep changing the rules in ways that benefit them. Honestly, that’s also pretty reasonable.



Recently, there’s been more hype about AI Agents, automated trading, and automatic on-chain interactions. But I’m actually even more nervous: once there are more authorizations, there’s more room for phishing and malicious contracts to do their thing. The story can soar, but nobody wants to look at the security details. By the time something goes wrong, people only then remember about cold wallets and revoking authorizations. Anyway, before I vote, I make sure I understand what I’m signing and what permissions I’m granting. I don’t want to be a “governance participant”—I just want to be the one who ultimately pays the bill.
