Lately, I've been lurking in Lorenzo's governance channel, and you can clearly feel that the atmosphere has changed.

The previous "Let's go! To the moon!" kind of hype is gone, and the days when every proposal turned into a debate match are over. Now, when you open the chat history, it feels more like eavesdropping on a group of people reconciling accounts—the proposals read like weekly work reports, and the voting phase is basically just "Confirmed, no issues."

No fireworks, no emoji spam, and barely anyone forwarding things to Twitter.

But this quietness actually says something: Lorenzo is turning "governance" from a performance into real work.

Proposals are no longer just slogan contests. You can see data, logic, and concrete actions—it's like reading contract terms before signing, not just listening to a salesperson's pitch.

This shift isn't sexy, but it's solid. After all, what really keeps a protocol running for the long haul isn't the people who shout the loudest, but those willing to sit down and do the math.
