A developer's decision to lock tokens for just one week turned into a major misstep for an otherwise solid open source project. The market didn't wait around—prices tanked almost immediately. It's a harsh reminder of how sensitive token holders are to liquidity concerns, even temporary ones. Monitoring similar governance calls across projects has become crucial for spotting early red flags before they blow up in everyone's face.

A one-week lock-in directly dumps the market; this move is really ruthless. The market just eats this up, and as soon as liquidity tightens, they run away.

A week of locked positions can still cause a dump; these people are really overly sensitive to liquidity... It was obvious from the start that this was a trap.

I was just saying, many projects have fallen into pitfalls when it comes to liquidity. I've long emphasized the importance of monitoring governance developments. Some people are still debating what a one-week lock-up means, but in fact, this is the trend showing you what risk awareness really is.

Can locking in for just a week break through the floor? The developer's move is incredibly shady, completely underestimating retail investors' panic psychology.

A one-week lock-in like this? Forget it, the market has already reacted. This is truly a governance lesson.

A one-week lock-up causes a direct explosion in trading volume. This developer is truly amazing... Liquidity anxiety really can't be cured.

A week of locked staking can bring a project to this level, truly impressive. Once liquidity touches the psychological threshold, everything collapses.

A one-week lock-up almost destroyed the project, sounds unbelievable... Liquidity is truly the most sensitive nerve in the market.
