Community-driven governance is reshaping how projects attract and retain long-term investors. When everyday investors rather than insiders hold decision-making power, projects benefit from authentic commitment and sustained engagement. This shift matters because retail participants tend to build organic ecosystem value over time. ICMS stands to gain significantly by demonstrating how a thriving community can strengthen project fundamentals. The real question isn't just who gets involved early—it's whether the community structure itself becomes a competitive advantage. Building this right takes deliberate effort, but the payoff in community resilience and market credibility speaks for itself.

Community governance sounds very appealing, but in most projects, the actual implementation is still decided internally... I've heard the ICMS rhetoric too many times. --- Basically, retail investors are just taking the fall, claiming it's "participating in governance," which is laughable. --- Is community structure a competitive advantage? First, look at how many projects' community governance ultimately becomes a shield for the team to cut the leeks. --- Long-term participants are indeed the core of the ecosystem, but it depends on whether the project genuinely gives power or not. --- I don't know how ICMS is, but those who claim that community-driven efforts can strengthen fundamentals should be questioned. --- It's the same old trick, making big promises about how important the community is, but in critical moments, it still depends on whether the team holds the coin rights. --- This rhetoric sounds reasonable; it would be great if it could actually be implemented... The reality is that most projects have loud slogans but perfunctory actions. --- On the other hand, organically building ecosystem value is indeed better than airdrops to cut a wave, provided the community isn't treated like fools. --- Community resilience and reputation returns are indeed self-evident, but the prerequisites are written too in detail, and the average person can't see them.
