1️⃣ The Lockup Vault – A Bad Deal for DEGEN?

The vault was designed to require users to hold DEGEN in order to receive daily tipping allowances. The idea was that this would reduce sell pressure and incentivize long-term commitment.

But the numbers tell a different story:
	•	Right now, a 1.9M DEGEN deposit gives you a 10K DEGEN daily tip allowance
	•	If fully farmed over a year, this results in an APR of 184% 😳
	•	That’s a massive ROI for a short lockup, creating huge inflation in the ecosystem

This raises a key question: Are we getting enough back for giving out these rewards? Right now, it looks like the system is disproportionately benefiting farmers rather than long-term ecosystem participants.

The locked Vault was originally introduced with good intentions, but the system has now been compromised by farmers, leading to a community call for solutions. Everyone is encouraged to share their opinions on the matter.

Open rank as the sole determinant for tipping allowance is a good suggestion, but it doesn't mean the so-called farmers don't have open-rank scores.
