Do you remember the frenzy in 2018? At that time, everyone's imagination for new token mechanisms and cryptoeconomics was simply explosive. The mechanisms we use today, like bonding curves, are mostly derived from innovations from that era. But to be honest, I have been quite disappointed by the frequency of novel mechanisms appearing over the years. It seems that the enthusiasm for innovation has indeed cooled down. However, on the other hand, maybe the addition of AI will change this situation. After all, new computational paradigms could open up new design spaces.

technically speaking, bonding curves hit different back then because devs actually had to optimize for constraints. now everyone's just throwing capital inefficiency at problems and calling it innovation—demonstrably lazy if you analyze the actual mechanism design patterns

Back in 2018, it was truly a time when the chosen ones were everywhere. Now that bonding curves are used so skillfully, we've forgotten where they came from.

2018 was really a wave of geniuses emerging. Now bonding curves have become infrastructure. But recently, novel mechanisms haven't been very surprising; it feels like everyone has collectively entered a slack mode haha.

The people from 2018 really blew up back then. Now bonding curves are all relying on their old reputation... By the way, can AI really save the situation? I'm a bit skeptical about that.

ngl, 2018 was unhinged in the best way... but yeah, the innovation pipeline's basically flatlined. bonding curves are solid but we're just reshuffling the same primitives at this point. ai angle is interesting though—question is whether it'll actually unlock new mechanism design or just give us fancier yield farming with extra steps. history says probably the latter tbh
