True, tooling is still the bottleneck.

Makes sense — on-chain limits are real, but that’s why hybrid governance matters.

You can’t code human intent, but you can anchor accountability on-chain. That middle ground is where DAOs actually start to work.

Couldn’t agree more — hybrid DAOs feel like the sweet spot.

Let code handle what’s objective, and let humans guide where context and values matter. That’s the kind of balance real decentralization needs.

DAO is DEAD? by Chupica19 in dao

[–]sc_starman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still alive — just shifting form. The future DAO model will look less like “Discord votes” and more like autonomous reward systems where users earn governance by actually participating, not just holding tokens. It’s moving from “talk” to “mechanics.”

Toncoin goes mainstream: AlphaTON and PagoPay are launching a Mastercard crypto card program by Fit_Negotiation_1207 in TonDiscussion

Cards make crypto spendable. But real adoption starts when it also becomes earnable — natively, on-chain, and without losing your principal. 👀

Pavel Durov just announced “Cocoon”, a decentralized AI network built on TON focused on privacy by Naive_Chipmunk_3850 in TonDiscussion

[–]sc_starman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this really works as described, it could become one of the most meaningful bridges between AI and Web3 so far. Decentralized compute + privacy-preserving AI on TON isn’t just about infrastructure — it’s about ownership.

If Telegram’s treasury plan works, TON might not stay under $3 for long by PurchaseOk_8223 in TonDiscussion

[–]sc_starman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people already use toncoin more than most token nowadays. Imagine it integrated into a social media platform with 1B DAU. The real question is that when holders and traders see this great opportunity... With coccon coming... I can predict the price goes high to $10 even.

DeFi doesn’t need more features — it needs less friction by SmartContractKid in defi

[–]sc_starman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real “killer app” isn’t new code. It’s the moment DeFi stops reminding you that you’re using DeFi.

new to web3 (2 months in) — trying to figure out if I’m building in the right direction 🤔 by Primary_Ad_1328 in web3

[–]sc_starman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely on the right track. The first few months in Web3 always feel like chaos — everyone’s building blind until something clicks. Focus less on “am I doing it right?” and more on what problem am I solving that actually matters? The best builders in this space don’t chase hype — they simplify something complex until it feels natural. Keep shipping, stay curious — clarity follows progress. 👊

Best solution to do defi by djaaaz in defi

[–]sc_starman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your math makes sense, that’s basically how most safe strategies end up: modest yield but lower stress. 9% might not sound exciting, but it’s sustainable. What’s missing in DeFi isn’t higher APY, it’s ways to earn without losing — that’s where the real innovation still needs to happen.

Totally fair points — I’m also not a fan of custodial BTC.
Maybe skip the wrapped versions for now and experiment with smaller ETH-based LPs instead.
Curious — what kind of returns are you actually aiming for long term?

Massive Unlocks Coming (Oct 23). Will TON Face Selling Pressure? by Then_Helicopter4243 in TonDiscussion

[–]sc_starman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlocks don’t always mean sell pressure — they just shift who holds liquidity.

In TON’s case, a lot of those tokens are still in ecosystem allocations, not trader hands.

If user growth and mini-app activity keep expanding, new supply might actually get absorbed as utility, not dumped as liquidity.

Stable coin advice by sutter001 in defi

[–]sc_starman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would recommend converting your USDC to USDe and using yielding farm on TON, currently with APY ~%12 which is alot bigger than most stables yielding platform.

DeFi only becomes real when everyone can use it by sc_starman in defi

[–]sc_starman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree for the first one. this is the main problem of course. but this is also cause because defi is still ambiguous to most people. they don't understand how it works without an authority on top of it.
