Recently, looking at DAO proposals is more eye-straining than watching candlestick charts... On the surface, it says "optimizing incentives," but in reality, it's just shifting voting power to a few addresses, while also making the reward distribution rules more "friendly" (to them). To put it simply, voting isn't a democratic theater; it's an ingredient list: who gets more, for how long, and what the exit threshold is, all hidden in the fine print.

By the way, I've been thinking about the recent heated debates over privacy coins/mixing compliance—it's pretty much the same vibe: no matter how fierce the stance, in the end, it comes down to who can set the rules and who bears the risks. Anyway, whenever I see the words "incentive upgrade," I first go check the permission changes and the flow of funds in the treasury... Otherwise, even eating noodles can be spicy enough to make me cough.
