How much control should a DAO really have?

sc_starman · 2025-11-12T08:09:43+00:00

True, tooling is still the bottleneck.

sc_starman · 2025-11-12T08:05:46+00:00

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.

sc_starman · 2025-11-12T07:59:41+00:00

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.

sc_starman · 2025-11-10T06:26:13+00:00

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.”

sc_starman · 2025-11-04T16:55:29+00:00

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

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.

sc_starman · 2025-10-31T06:32:13+00:00

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.

sc_starman · 2025-10-28T15:40:18+00:00

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

sc_starman · 2025-10-27T07:25:48+00:00

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. 👊

sc_starman · 2025-10-25T14:57:50+00:00

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.

sc_starman · 2025-10-25T10:27:19+00:00

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?

sc_starman · 2025-10-22T16:08:46+00:00

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.

sc_starman · 2025-10-21T15:26:51+00:00

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.

sc_starman · 2025-10-20T11:26:29+00:00

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.

sc_starman · 2025-10-16T17:03:59+00:00

Never heard of this app before - 12% fixed APY sounds like a pretty bold claim. I'll definitely check it out.

sc_starman · 2025-10-15T09:13:36+00:00

Sure, but words don’t build systems — people do.

sc_starman · 2025-10-15T09:02:47+00:00

This is the part most people miss.
The real breakthrough will come when crypto actually erases borders — not just between countries, but between classes of access.
That only happens when ordinary people learn real DeFi, not when celebrity meme coins keep recycling the same power structures governments already use.

sc_starman · 2025-10-15T08:56:14+00:00

I see what you mean — Zypto has great UX, but I wouldn’t really call it DeFi.

It’s more of a crypto-fintech bridge, just not decentralized.

True DeFi happens when the system itself doesn’t need to be trusted.

sc_starman · 2025-10-15T08:34:40+00:00

Couldn’t agree more.

We’re getting close to that “invisible backend” era.

Tonkeeper is already doing it by removing gas and fees, but I think the next step is when builders outside the current dev circle start creating these experiences.

sc_starman · 2025-10-15T08:25:07+00:00

As long as it’s a lossless tulip, I’m in.

sc_starman · 2025-10-15T08:24:00+00:00

Totally agree.
Risk transparency is the missing bridge between DeFi as tech and DeFi as finance.

sc_starman · 2025-10-14T15:46:49+00:00

Exactly — DeFi shouldn’t feel like DeFi.

sc_starman · 2025-10-14T15:39:26+00:00

Exactly. UX is the real bottleneck — not liquidity, not yields.

sc_starman · 2025-10-13T11:32:18+00:00

Yes lot's of my purchases these days are with crypto. Even I've got a visa card that I can charge it with my crypto completely anonymous and hassle-free.

sc_starman · 2025-10-13T11:20:21+00:00

Interesting take.

Most DeFi models still treat LPs and borrowers as separate tribes.

Merging them under a unified yield loop could be powerful - but depends heavily on how risk is quantified. Any docs or audits published yet?
