The source of power is never custodial rights, but actual control. In a truly user-centric system, every aspect of liquidity provision, routing mechanisms, and trade execution should operate around user interests rather than exchange interests. This is precisely the direction Pact is exploring—using the PACT token as the underlying mechanism to make the protocol itself a competitive advantage for users. When users gain real control over the flow of their funds, they can break the information asymmetry and fee exploitation inherent in centralized platforms. This is not just a technological upgrade but a reshaping of the power structure.

That's right, control is the hard currency. Centralized platforms have been harvesting users for so many years; now it's time for users to turn the tables. The idea behind Pact is indeed fresh. Let me see if I can get an airdrop. True decentralization should be like this; otherwise, it's just changing the boss to exploit. Decentralization without real power is just a facade, very superficial.

Well said, finally someone dares to directly call out the tricks of centralized platforms. Real power is control, what’s the point of custody rights. I like the idea behind Pact, but it depends on execution—empty talk anyone can say. Users controlling the flow of funds themselves? That’s what Web3 should be doing. The fee exploitation game has been played for so long, it’s time to change the way. Once control is in place, the power structure naturally changes, no need for paper talk. If this can truly be implemented, it would be amazing; don’t let it turn into another scam under a new guise. Breaking information asymmetry means the moat of centralized platforms is gone.

Well said, finally someone has exposed this layer of paper. The centralized exchanges are just tricks of harvesting profits from retail investors and power rent-seeking. I agree, true control is the way to go. The custodial model should have been eliminated long ago. The idea behind Pact is indeed interesting—letting the protocol speak for the users, not bad. This is the direction I believe in—users truly owning their assets, rather than being confined by the platform. Reshaping the power structure sounds great. Being constantly exploited, it's time to fight back.

Well said, finally someone has pointed out this issue. The idea of custody rights has long been outdated; what truly matters is holding your own money in your hands. --- The Pact concept is indeed different, but whether it can be effectively implemented remains to be seen. --- Wow, this is the kind of decentralization that should exist. The information asymmetry and high fees of centralized platforms are just exhausting. --- Wait, controlling through the PACT token? Could it turn into another form of concentrated power... --- I like this logic; truly allowing users to control the flow of funds is fundamental. High on-chain transparency is good, but the fear of manipulation remains, though it's always better than a black box. --- Reshaping the power structure sounds great, but in reality, how many people will actually work to maintain their own power? --- Brilliant, seeing through the tricks of exchanges at a glance. The fee exploitation issue really needs to be addressed. --- This theory is good, but the key is whether it can be practically implemented without turning into another capital game. --- Finally, moving away from that centralized brainwashing; users must take control of their own path.

Honestly, is this true or false? This theory sounds just like another Savior project... but it does hit the pain point. Can the PACT sword cut off the bloodsucking veins of exchanges? I'm a bit skeptical. Breaking decentralization isn't just talk; you need real data to believe it. It sounds good, but in the end, isn't it just another way to cut leeks? Who really holds the control... that's the core issue, right? Feels like another "revolutionary" thing, but the套路 is the same every year. Protocols without capital support, how can they compete with CEXs? Overthinking it, right? Eliminating fee exploitation sounds good, but will users really migrate?

Sounds ideal, but when the exchange actually runs away, you'll realize what control really means.

Basically, it's the decentralized approach, but can it really be achieved... I've seen too many projects boast loudly, but in the end, it's the same old trick.
