This evolution mirrors the broader reality in DeFi, where virtually all protocols secure their operations through opaque, non-public OTC agreements that prioritize internal stakeholders over the interests of the broader user base. By integrating direct incentives into governance, this model extends the prevailing power dynamics, reinforcing structures that benefit orchestrators rather than participants.
