We've seen this before in crypto
One thing I've been noticing for a long time about decentralized AI data markets they're not so much destroyed by scams, but rather slowly collapse by design.
The problem is actually very simple. When a project automatically releases more tokens as users grow, at first everyone thinks Wow, growth. But in fact, the supply increases so much that the value of the token starts to decrease. It means you're working, getting rewarded but the price of that reward is slowly falling.
We've seen this before in crypto. Many projects initially attract users with an incentive, then the incentive kills the project. Because math doesn't spare anyone in the end.
@getoro_xyz seems to be taking a slightly different approach in this regard. They're building a quest based system where rewards don't just increase as users grow but depend on what valid work you actually do. This is good in theory, as it gives some control over emissions.
But I personally think, the real test is yet to come. When the hype hits, users will suddenly increase will they be able to maintain reward discipline? Or will it still increase emissions to show growth as before?
Because one thing is very clear in this space discipline is the hardest to maintain. Everyone starts with good intentions, but pressure actually changes decisions.
Finally, if they can really sustain controlled emissions, it may be something at the infrastructure level. If not… another project will be added to the list, which was good in idea, but lost in math.
