when AI meets onchain research
finding alpha gets a whole lot easier
@SurfAI x @Hertzflow_xyz flow is giving everyone the same tools
execution is what sets you apart
#alphaskillcall
the product that wins won't be the one with the biggest model
it'll be the one that fits naturally into every workflow
@SurfAI is making a strong case for that
Cute marketing. But come on @Somnia_Network! let’s be real here!
The Somnia community isn’t holding their breath for travel vouchers (this was their announcement thereafter) while Season 5 rewards remain unclaimed long after the snapshot.
I don’t see this as just tone-deaf…it’s emblematic of deeper issues.
1/ Many dedicated users poured 8 months into the quests and significant NFT purchases, only to find out that S5 allocation was significantly reduced from original plans. This “strategic” pivot - to fund new initiatives like Prophecy Social and DreamDEX, came at the direct expense of early supporters. Heavy NFT buyers who spent thousands now face floor prices that have dipped sharply, a substantial net losses for many.
2/ @0xPaulThomas has provided some updates (tying claims to DreamDEX launch, reviewing feedback), but the lack of clear timelines have frustrated the community.
3/ CEO @lippylipka till today has yet to address the community’s anger
and negative sentiments head-on which has left the community feeling neglected.
4/ Let’s touch a lil on Prophecy Social…the beneficiary of reallocated incentives. Tbh it lags behind established prediction markets. Competitors offer fun, engaging initiatives, regular user incentives, consistent new features, and better UX that actually drive participation and retention. Somnia’s version feels underdeveloped by comparison, especially while the core community that funded this pivot waits in limbo.
5/ DreamDEX, another key beneficiary of the reallocation, remains in closed beta/pre-launch despite the hype. While positioned as a zero-fee, yield-bearing CLOB with CEX-grade execution, it’s still unproven at scale. Community members question why resources were pulled from rewarding existing supporters to fund these initiatives that aren’t yet delivering visible traction or competitive edge against established players.
When trust is already eroded, teasing us (in this case vacation vouchers) while core promises lag signals seriously misplaced priorities for an “Agentic L1” with strong backing.
Without restoring confidence through transparency and delivery, Somnia risks losing the very support needed for long-term success. The community is uneasy…and uneasy communities don’t provide strong tailwinds.
What needs to be done:
Prioritize fixing S5 claims, communicate openly about NFT holder impacts, and show how you’re tackling the trust deficit. Actions speak louder than all these unnecessary distractions.
Don’t forget, community-centricity was what attracted most Somniacs. This is the core advantage that you have, so don’t destroy it. We need the S4 energy once again.
Somniacs are watching.
Your move, Somnia team.
