The era of going solo to do LP is fading. Providing liquidity alone involves accumulating risks but offers a low ceiling for returns, which isn't worth it at all. What is the new approach? Building a social liquidity layer to prevent LPs from fighting alone, instead enabling team coordination. This pooling of funds not only diversifies risk but also enhances each participant's earning potential. The next step for DeFi is to turn isolated into coordinated.

I'm already tired of the solo LP approach; indeed, there's hardly any money left for my parents' pants. Team operation sounds good, but I'm just worried about another new rug pull waiting to happen. Whether pooling can truly diversify risk depends on who is managing this matter. DeFi really needs this kind of coordination, but execution will definitely be a mess. The road from isolated to coordinated is still far away; anyway, I'll just keep observing.

Haha, finally someone said it—going solo with LP is a suicidal move. Forming teams to diversify risk? That sounds good, but I'm worried it's just another way to cut leeks and switch to a different mask. If pooling isn't managed transparently, won't some people still profit from the spread?

It seems to be another story of promising retail investors a pie in the sky[thinking] Team operation sounds good, but in reality, it's just gathering the little guys together to make it easier to cut, and if risk control isn't done well, a liquidation explosion is the real risk.

Haha, finally someone mentioned this. Going solo with LP is indeed very risky. --- Team mining has been overdue; mining alone is too亏. --- The idea of social liquidity sounds good, but can it really be better than pools on centralized exchanges? --- I've thought about pooling before, but the key is how to distribute the rewards without causing conflicts. --- From isolated to coordinated, sounds advanced, but what if the risk is transferred to the community? --- This is the era of the rise of collective LPs; going solo is already outdated. --- Basically, it's crowdfunding liquidity. Don't pretend to be so academic.

solo lping was always a yield trap anyway. now suddenly pooled coordination sounds revolutionary? look, the math checks out on paper but execution risk on governance will be gnarly. who decides the strategies, rebalancing, exit rules? that's where this falls apart imo.

Indeed, when one person handles LP, the profit ceiling is fixed there, and they have to bear all the risks themselves. That's just too foolish.

That's right, going solo with LP is indeed a gamble. A friend of mine previously solo running pools experienced an impermanent loss that set him back to square one. Pooling feels like moving from solo queue to five-man teams; spreading out the risk, and the returns are no longer so heartbreaking. DeFi really needs to learn to "stick together." The era of isolated pools is over.

Haha, another big pie. Forming a team for LP sounds great, but who will handle risk management?

I'm tired of the solo LP approach already; it's really a thankless effort. It feels like pooling is just a variant of DAO; the core issue still comes down to trust—can it be managed? Forming a team sounds good, but who will manage this treasury? Can the risks truly be diversified? DeFi is still messing around there, but I've already shifted to yield farming for more direct returns. Could this coordinated model turn into another form of centralization? The pooling concept is good, but how can we ensure no one runs off in the execution? Here we go again—the "DeFi Savior" theory. Is this one reliable?
