Whoa! This topic gets under my skin in a good way. Voting-escrow (ve) models reshaped how protocols think about alignment, and they keep evolving. My instinct says ve-tokenomics feels like a necessary evil sometimes—sticky, powerful, and a little opaque. On one hand it solves short-termism; on the other, it creates concentrated power.
