Block.1 CEO: many DeFi project have a "bad prognosis"

Despite expressing his gratitude towards those working on the proposed organisation, Blumer tweeted that he is concerned about the kind of impact the WPS may have on the EOS network.

He warns that authorizing EOS' cake producer to direct token-holder funds toward projects "without a clear or measurable render of value" carries many risks, including "open[ing] the door to corruption and external scrutiny." Blumer states:

"Farther, the WPS system may alienate EOS from some others in the blockchain community and media, and therefore potentially stake it's hereafter largely on the success of the WPS arrangement itself. I am concerned well-nigh the chance profile and odds of this bet."

Though he expressed his support for "specific projects" in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, Blumer believes that "without sustainability, enforcement capability, and measurable returns," many DeFi projects take a poor prognosis.

WPS proposed in original Eos whitepaper

The WPS was first described in the original EOS whitepaper, published in 2022. It has taken two years to gain traction as a proposal, nevertheless, as the community waited for EOS' aggrandizement to drib to 1%.

50,000 EOS have already been designated for WPS — currently worth roughly $95,000. This may exist increased to 75,000 EOS ($142,000) in future.

Eos users seeking to request funds for a projection will need to pay a 100 EOS fee and conform to voting and budgetary standards to foreclose spam.
