The @solblaze_org BLZE chart tells a good story about token launches. It's not enough to just simply distribute tokens. Tokens and the communities they build are fickle (down only = people leave) and thus must be well thought through. Let's walk through this story.

Quick notes/thoughts of @solana LST spaces why less adoption - Lack of liquidity on LSTs is a concern shared by all - LST users need more to do in DeFi (can be somewhat attributed to less oracle support) - Native staking is risk free (no slashing yet) so LST SC risk no worth it
