Just finished translating two DAO proposals from this week. One discusses how to allocate incentive budgets, and the other directly proposes changing the voting weight calculation logic. To be honest, a lot of projects that are doing “social mining” are essentially buying attention with tokens—just like the old model of fan tokens. It looks lively, but in the vote, real influence still belongs to the same handful of whales.

The second proposal is the most interesting. On the surface, it’s about optimizing governance efficiency, but underneath it directly moves the threshold for Quorum. Every time I see this kind of voting chess match, it feels like watching an undercover battle over power structures. Sometimes I really want to quit—either the gas fees are painful to burn, or the proposals are written more convoluted than the whitepaper. But in the end I still didn’t uninstall the client. After all, for this kind of game, voting with your feet isn’t as satisfying as using your brain to break down what’s going on.
