Who else heard about the Ethereum Protocol Advocacy Alliance? Honestly, this EPAA thing feels like a big moment for DeFi. For years, regulators only listened to exchanges and VC-backed firms; the same ones DeFi was supposed to move past. Meanwhile, the actual builders stayed silent, assuming code alone would prove the point. Now we’ve got Aave, Lido, Uniswap, Curve, Aragon, Spark, and The Graph joining forces to speak for onchain infrastructure. A $100B coalition built to make sure onchain infrastructure actually has a voice in policymaking. Not to beg for attention, but to make sure the rules don’t suffocate what made this space open in the first place. Still, it's a tricky balance. We need advocacy without turning into the same centralized giants DeFi was built to replace. The real test is staying decentralized while playing the political game. Because if we lose that, what’s even left to defend?
