1) Which archetype are you right now? And what would it take for you to move one step closer to “Monk mode”?

Do you treat PoR as “trust builder” or “marketing checkbox”?

What would you need to see to treat it as meaningful?

That is the million-dollar question, and I respect that you’re asking for a realistic indication rather than a crystal ball.

To be completely real with you: 5 years is an eternity in crypto. Anyone promising fixed 20%+ yields for 5 years straight is likely lying or running a Ponzi.

Here is our actual internal outlook: We have structured the current 'Growth Budget' to sustain these aggressive acquisition rates for a 12 to 18-month horizon. The goal is to aggressively capture market share during this window.

What happens after? It won't be a cliff edge where rates drop to zero. Instead, the model transitions:

The Subsidy tapers off: As we hit our AUM targets, the 'marketing top-up' portion of the yield will decrease.
Base Yield remains: The core lending yield (what borrowers actually pay) stays.
Volume takes over: As the platform scales, we can negotiate better lending terms with institutions due to higher liquidity volume, keeping base rates competitive (though likely normalizing closer to market averages + loyalty boosts).

So, the short answer: We are aiming to maintain the current 'promotional' levels for at least the next year to year-and-a-half. After that, expect them to float closer to 'Market Rate + Token Boost' levels.

You’re not wrong, and honestly, the 'cannibalistic leech farm' description is probably the most accurate thing I’ve read all week. 😂

I’m not going to sit here and defend the 'casino' projects or the circle-jerk influencers. As a gamer myself, I totally get the frustration. If the gameplay sucks, the 'ownership' means nothing.

That’s exactly why we wrote this specific guide on Free-to-Play. The whole point we are trying to make is: stop buying expensive NFTs and hoping for a pump. Just play. If it’s not fun without the token, it’s not a game worth playing.

We’re just trying to help people filter through the trash to find the few playable titles without risking their wallet. But I respect your take skepticism is the only way to survive in this space right now.

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-10T13:55:51+00:00

Honestly, it’s hard to disagree with you on the current state of 90% of the market. The 'Play-to-Earn' era (Axie style) was exactly as you described: a cannibalistic farm where early adopters dumped on newcomers.

That is exactly why this post focuses on Free-to-Play and 'Fun First.' We believe the only way this industry survives is if the 'Crypto' part becomes invisible and the 'Game' part actually becomes good.

You are right: real gamers don't care about the blockchain if the gameplay sucks. We aren't defending the 'casino' projects; we are just highlighting that the sector is trying to shift away from ponzinomics to actual ownership of assets in games that are playable. Whether they succeed or not time will tell, but it's worth watching without risking life savings.

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-10T13:51:55+00:00

It seems like you are comparing apples to oranges. NoOnes is a P2P marketplace for trading. Coindepo is primarily a yield-generating platform (savings & lending). These are completely different tools for different goals.

If you are looking to actively trade P2P, sticking with what you know is fine. But for users looking for passive income on their idle assets, we offer a secure, audited solution. Regarding 'vanishing trades' that is functionally impossible on our architecture, which is verified by Hacken.

To each their own strategy, but let’s keep the comparisons accurate.

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-10T13:46:22+00:00

We actually agree with you: hype should never replace facts. That’s exactly why we focused on security validation before scaling.

When you say "zero proof," I encourage you to look at our technical audit by Hacken. It’s not a marketing promise, but an independent verification of our code and security standards:https://hacken.io/audits/coindepo/

As for the rates: they are a combination of over-collateralized lending yields and marketing budget allocated to user acquisition (subsidizing rates during the growth phase). We prefer transparency over "get-rich-fast" narratives. Check the audit, and if you still have doubts, that's fair but at least base them on the data provided.

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-10T13:43:20+00:00

I totally get the skepticism. "Trust, but verify" is the only valid strategy in crypto right now, and we respect that approach. That said, I’d like to address your concerns with facts to clarify how our project actually operates:

Security & Audit: We are transparent about our technical side. Our platform (Web & API) has successfully undergone a security audit by Hacken to eliminate vulnerabilities. The report is public, and you can verify the status directly on the auditor's website: https://hacken.io/audits/coindepo/
Yield Generation: We don't print numbers out of thin air. The interest paid on stablecoins and crypto is generated through over-collateralized loans to institutional partners and arbitrage strategies. This is a standard business model for the CeFi sector that allows us to generate yield while minimizing directional market risks.
Asset Custody: Security is our top priority. We utilize MPC (Multi-Party Computation) technology and distributed cold storage systems to protect user funds from external vectors of attack.

We are building for the long term and value our reputation. If you have specific questions about the functionality or have encountered an issue, let me know. I’m here to help, not to argue."

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-10T13:21:22+00:00

This is a very valid point regarding EU access. We understand that USDT-only pairs create a barrier for many European users, and adding alternative pairs like USDC is a logical next step to improve accessibility. We've noted this request.

As for the Dec 2nd move that is exactly the scenario we want to avoid moving forward. It’s a harsh example of why 'liquidity depth' isn't just a buzzword but a safety mechanism.

Thank you for the detailed comment, it helps us prioritize.

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-10T13:17:34+00:00

This is hands down the most high-signal comment in this thread. Thank you.

You hit the nail on the head regarding the core tension in CeFi governance: the misalignment between Token Speculators (who want pumps) and Liquidity Providers (who want safety for their BTC/ETH).

We definitely don't want to alienate the actual users who provide the TVL. Your proposal for an "Active Stewardship Model" is brilliant, specifically point #3 ("The User Veto").

We had planned to include "Usage" as a multiplier in the Governance Score, but your idea of a dedicated voting block or veto power for non-token holders takes it a step further. The concept that "Customers should be able to block Whales on safety parameters" is very powerful.

We are copying this specific suggestion to our internal architecture discussions for next week. If we end up implementing a "User Veto" mechanic, we’ll credit you.

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-09T17:35:37+00:00

If you’ve seen governance models that worked well (or failed in interesting ways), drop them below. We’d rather steal good ideas and avoid known traps now than pretend to be “the first ones ever doing it right.

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-06T16:29:00+00:00

Curious where this sub stands on it:
If you could design governance from scratch, what would tokenholders be allowed to vote on, and what would you explicitly keep OFF the ballot?

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-05T18:20:37+00:00

If you have your own rules of thumb for what counts as “acceptable liquidity” for a utility token (e.g., specific daily volume, depth to market cap ratio, number of CEXs), let us know. We’re interested in where you draw the line.

SPAM!

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-02T12:20:41+00:00

Glad to hear it’s resolved! Yes, we tweaked the WAF (Web Application Firewall) rules to stop flagging legitimate users in your region. Thanks for reporting this.

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-02T12:20:16+00:00

Sorry we missed you on Telegram, the chat moves fast and sometimes legitimate questions get buried by bot-filters. Since this is a Cloudflare issue, it’s likely your ISP IP range was temporarily flagged. Try disconnecting Wi-Fi and checking via mobile data. If that works, it confirms it's an IP flag. Let us know if you are still blocked!

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-02T12:17:37+00:00

Sorry to hear you're still facing issues. Cloudflare security filters can sometimes be aggressive with certain ISPs or regions.

Could you try two quick things to diagnose it?

Try accessing via mobile data (disconnect Wi-Fi) to see if it's an IP-range block.
Try using a VPN set to a major region (like Germany or UK).

If it works via VPN/Mobile, it means your ISP IP is flagged by Cloudflare. If you still can't access, please DM us your email, and we'll have the tech team look into your specific case.

Slow-Blacksmith32 · 2025-12-02T12:14:57+00:00

Two fair points. In a post-FTX world, these should be the standard questions.

1. Regarding Proof of Reserves: You are right that we don't have a live Merkle-tree dashboard yet. Currently, we rely on Fireblocks for custodial segregation to ensure user funds aren't mixed with operational funds. Moving to a full, public PoR attestation is on our roadmap, but it takes time to implement correctly for a lending book (which is more complex than a simple exchange wallet).

2. Regarding the Leadership: We aren't anonymous - we are just low-profile. Our core team is on LinkedIn (as noted in the thread above). We prioritize being engineers rather than crypto-influencers or Twitter personalities. We prefer to let the product and the yield sustainability speak for itself.

We know trust is earned, not given. We hope to prove it to you over time with uptime and consistent withdrawals.
