Recently, proposing DAO proposals has become a bit like doing account maintenance: on the surface, it’s about "incentives," but underneath, it’s actually adjusting the power structure. How voting rights are allocated, who can receive subsidies first, who is delegated by default... Basically, they’re all patches. Today, they patch in a "boost participation," tomorrow, an "urgent permission," and after a while, it turns into a dedicated channel for certain individuals.
Now I don’t trust fancy words when looking at proposals; I first look at who benefits and who can change the rules with one click, then decide whether to vote or not.
By the way, I want to complain about the modularization and the DAO layer this time. Developers are chatting away, while ordinary users are completely confused. In the end, it’s probably still about using proposals to tilt resources toward “people who understand.”
Anyway, I’ll just do small fixes: revoke permissions first if possible, isolate wallets first if possible, so I can sleep more peacefully.
