Indeed. Some very good points. I totally agree around the exclusion of communities. I think there is more benefit in investing in the grassroots level, especially now in such a market. It is these communities who are creating a core group of advocates of the project in regions around the world. Big influencers come and go with the market Currently there is a working group looking at creating a DAO that would specifically look at how to create and support regional guilds. Are you aware of it? ---

Hey people, any news abouth this? Almost half a year has passed since the delegation and there is no news, what does the foundation expect? that we all migrate to other chains? Validators are only losing money to keep the chain decentralized [Previous page](https://gov.near.org/t/research-alternative-rewards-models-for-validators/32508.md?page=1)
