Regarding the dilemma of retail investors and decentralized innovation in project financing, there is an idea worth pondering. From the perspective of investment institutions, the problem is quite straightforward—retail investors' over-participation in early-stage financing is not ideal, primarily due to the huge gap in risk tolerance. Institutional investors have experienced countless project fluctuations and have sufficient psychological resilience and capital reserves for failure; whereas retail investors often stake their entire assets, and even if the project's logic is sound, they can easily be overwhelmed by volatility.
What's even more interesting is the reform idea—introducing an IDE (Initial Decentralized Issuance) mechanism before the TGE token generation event. The cleverness of this approach lies in: not simply banning retail participation, but changing the participation nodes. This allows the token distribution to initiate a decentralized process earlier, compressing the information asymmetry window, and simultaneously reducing the single-point risk for retail investors. This method preserves the fairness of community participation while avoiding excessive centralization during the financing stage.

It's the same old story with the IDE, I've heard it many times. To put it simply, they just want retail investors like us to buy in earlier, it's just a different alias.

Retail investors being trapped has long become the norm; the key issue is the information gap. The idea of IDE sounds good, but I'm worried it might just become a new tool for cutting leeks again.

IDE sounds pretty good, but whether it can truly protect retail investors in practice depends on... If institutions really want to harvest retail investors, changing the mechanism won't help at all.

Retail investors have been heavily squeezed, but the IDE approach is quite innovative; it's much better than just pushing us out, haha.
