Quotes that support claims

The DAO has been key, driving community engagement via Active Staking Rewards (ASR), Decentralized Working Groups (DWGs), and votes on things like Jupuary airdrops. But lately and unfortunately, it’s hit roadblocks, distrust, FUD, and a negative feedback loop with every vote.

Recently, one thing has become clear: the current DAO structure isn’t working as intended. We hear the complaints. We see the breakdown in trust. We feel the perpetual FUD cycle that grows with every vote. Instead of the DAO, holders, and team working in cohesion to push the product, platform and community forward, we are stuck in a negative feedback loop.
