Ever wonder why smaller community members get rattled when platforms tighten participation rules?

On the surface, it looks like losing a voice. But dig deeper—it's really about the bet they've made. Months poured into projects like Sentient or Rainbow, hoping these tokens aren't tomorrow's dust.

Here's what matters though: genuinely solid projects don't abandon their early believers when metrics shift. If a project truly needs and values its community, participation thresholds become less of a wall and more of a natural byproduct of growth. Real community resilience shows when the project's fundamentals stay strong.
