I just finished translating a DAO proposal, and the more I read, the more it feels like a final group project: superficially titled "Optimizing Incentives," but underneath, it's really about who gets to make decisions and who gets the rewards. Once voting power is tied too closely to subsidies/rebates, people naturally vote for the option that lets them take more. Honestly, that's normal, but it quietly solidifies the power structure. Recently, the buzz around modularization and the DAO layer has developers excited, while ordinary users are completely confused... These narratives are often used as packaging in proposals, but the core remains about how the budget is allocated and how the committees are set up. Anyway, I don’t just look at slogans when voting now; I first check if the big wallet addresses have moved, then see if the incentives turn dissenting votes into "loss-making options." That’s it for now—don’t let me be just a background player again.
