Just opened a DAO voting proposal. The name is “Optimize Incentive Distribution,” which sounds quite positive at first glance. After clicking into the details, I was like—how about this: on one hand it says it will distribute tokens to contributors, and on the other it quietly adds the big boss’s voting power to the founding team. Isn’t this basically putting another lock on the power center, but in a different way?
Recently that token unlock calendar has been pretty lively. In the group, everyone’s calculating the dates, saying things like “On what date, the xx project’s sell pressure is coming.” I just wonder—after the vote passes, the incentives that unlock: are they truly for the people doing the work, or is it just another posture to let big holders keep controlling the market with ease? Purely out of curiosity. Anyway, for someone like me, a small fry, I always silently vote “Yes,” afraid I’ll miss an airdrop. But the truth is, in my heart I know my little weight in voting won’t even make a splash.
Forget it, I won’t say more. I’m going back to my pixel little theater. Feels like this round of on-chain data will be enough for me to draw several more frames of meme charts.
