This fortnight, three patterns
HIGHDRIFT
“Decentralization theater” framing is spreading
A reusable critique template is being applied to several launches regardless of their actual structure. Teams with real decentralization are getting caught in it.
MEDSOURCE
LLMs confidently citing deprecated docs
A recurring pattern this fortnight: assistants returning last-cycle migration steps. If you shipped a v2, check what the models still say.
LOWCONFUSION
“Is this an airdrop?” confusion around points programs
Points-vs-token ambiguity keeps generating the same questions. A one-line clarification on the program page defuses most of it.

Every issue publishes here. Fragments — and out-of-cycle risk flags when something high-severity moves — land on X first.
