We all love our DEX OSMOSIS. But the staked tokens now represent only 35% and are falling! We had expressed our point of view as investors, knowing that changing the staking rate altered and disrupted serious investment decisions that secure the chain and allowed for automatic averaging down. Unfortunately, this vision was not followed, probably wanting to imitate the big players.
Today, OSMOSIS is becoming smaller and smaller in market cap and, to be honest, no longer inspires confidence. As a result, liquidity has disappeared and many of us have suffered huge losses. The loss of confidence means that we stopped buying through DCA with averaging down, since the token no longer has reasonable and sufficient support.
So please, TEAM, bring back a very strong APR of more than 20, 30, or even 40%. If the TEAM could also implement a classic interface like MEXC or others, it would be an important and beneficial visual change for the DEX.
OSMOSIS is distributed, among others, on Ledger, and could bounce back with all this. Thank you all, and please take these remarks as constructive and not negative—for the best of this great DEX that truly deserves much better.
Do note that APR has never ever done a project really good in the end, but usage in combination with hype did.
For what I have seen it is slowly becoming quiet on the news front… whilst now is the time to set the basis which can be utilized when markets become better again (if ever)
Crypto, being part of finance, cannot go beyond basic financial rules: rewards are the equivalent of interest, and the more capital is locked, the higher the rate. If an investor takes a contract with 25%, they calculate that in 4 years (or even a bit less with compound interest) they will have regenerated their initial stake. But if the rate collapses, the entire premise that generated their investment decision collapses too—and with it, confidence. This is the case here with OSMO: more attention must be paid to these investors and they need to be cared for, because many have already left and many more will leave for the reasons I’ve explained.
I’m very serious, it’s not a game but financial logical. Without risk you can have about 3% or 6%. Middle risk +10 point so 15%. Investing in OSMO is big risk so 30 or 40% is a good logical. For example 2 chain growing with big APR COREUM and ATONE. COREUM have 67% of bonded token and ATONE 40%.
The curves are both ascending, which therefore shows confidence. The one for Osmosis is the opposite—a decline—and distrust sets in. It’s mathematical !
We shouldn’t persist in this. The strategy of copying Ethereum is a complete failure. We need to bring back a real risk premium with high APRs before it’s too late.
"Compreendo e partilho da frustração com a queda do APR e o impacto que isso teve no preço do OSMO e na confiança. Não podemos ignorar as perdas no curto prazo.
No entanto, é importante lembrar a visão de longo prazo: a Osmosis está fazendo uma transição dolorosa de um modelo de ‘incentivo inflacionário’ (APR alto) para um modelo de ‘rendimento real’ baseado em taxas de transação. Muitos protocolos de sucesso fizeram esse mesmo movimento.
Em vez de implorar por um APR de 40%, que é insustentável no longo prazo, nosso foco deveria estar nas soluções reais que a equipe está construindo, como o Polaris (Token Portal). Se a Osmosis conseguir realmente atrair a liquidez do Bitcoin e de outras grandes redes, como está no roadmap, o volume de negociação vai explodir, e as taxas de transação reais podem superar o antigo APR, dando ao OSMO um suporte de preço muito mais sólido.
A Ledger ainda está lá, a tecnologia IBC está forte. A confiança voltará com o produto e o volume, não com a impressão de novos tokens. Manteremos a esperança no sucesso do Polaris! "
Polaris is Polaris, and it’s not directly integrated into Osmosis. We might have thought it would bring value to OSMO, but in reality it hasn’t. If you read carefully what I wrote, OSMOSIS is trying to copy everyone else and is losing its substance. A BTC platform with conversion issues… The other pools are emptying out. I really like this DEX, but honestly at this point we’re being forced to get used to trading elsewhere.
Investing in OSMO was a SERIOUS mistake that was made. You keep insisting on this direction, while we, the serious investors, have lost a lot — so we’re going to move on. It’s already something that we take the time to write these posts to express ourselves and communicate, but if we’re neither heard nor understood, then we’ll have no choice but to abandon the COSMOS ship! It’s sad to see such a lack of listening. The failure is here, in the PRESENT, right now — and yet nothing changes !
