Kindred AI's recent actions are indeed quite perplexing. After unlocking the Klara NFT, they announced zero rewards and instead encouraged holders to continue staking for higher returns. For early Klara lock-in users, this is undoubtedly a dilemma—sell or keep staking? Just imagining this choice is enough to give anyone a headache.

The key issue lies in the overly dispersed distribution mechanism of the KIN tokens. While a 1% allocation share may not seem like much, in the context of the entire token economic model, this dilution effect is indeed significant. The more distribution points there are, the lower the expected returns for individual stakers, which could dampen user participation in the long run.

This pattern of unlocking first and then locking again essentially plays on users' confidence in holding the tokens. If managed well, it can stabilize the ecosystem; if mismanaged, it can easily trigger community doubts.

Zero rewards? Isn't this just a clear case of cutting leeks... Those who joined early should really be crying.

Zero rewards just encourage continued staking; I've seen this tactic too many times. To put it simply, it's using new incentives to dilute the sense of failure of old commitments. From the perspective of computing power return ratio, the biggest risk of this kind of mechanism is the inflation of distribution points. When that happens, everyone will be running on a treadmill, working hard but unable to make money. It's better to focus on ROI trends; data will speak for itself.

It's the same old "sweet first, bitter later" approach, with early believers being harvested in the rhythm. Everyone has dispersed, and the project team is still pondering how to extend the life. Klara's zero reward this round is truly heartbreaking; whether to stake or escape is really a tough choice. Once the distribution mechanism is laid out, you can tell—it's the strong smell of cutting leeks. This is the norm in Web3, always a game of who can run away first.

It's the same old trick of "giving hope first and then harvesting" again. This wave of Kindred is really quite ruthless.

It's another case of starting sweet and ending bitter. I knew early promises could only be fulfilled to a certain extent.

It's that old trick of "unlock and reset to zero" again, and this time Kindred really outdid themselves.

No rewards? Isn't that just "Congratulations on unlocking an empty box" haha I'm truly convinced, early participants are now both trapped and cut. This distribution mechanism is really clever; a 1% dilution seems insignificant, but stakers end up losing everything. From zero rewards to continued locking, this move is a classic soft cut of the leeks. Wait, if this continues, who will dare to participate early? Is Kindred committing suicide? Quality over quantity, but they still don't have the volume... Cyber leeks cutting to a new level, get it, no wonder it's you guys

It's the same trick again—zero rewards and then forcing you to continue staking. Isn't this just a disguised way to harvest the little guys? Disperse to dilute, dilute to bankruptcy. I wonder how many people can hold on. Kindred's move this time is really ruthless; early investors who took the bait truly got it for free.

Here we go again? First give a sweet taste and then cut the leeks, old tricks. --- Directly transferring to staking without rewards, that's really ruthless. --- This distribution mechanism, I have to say, is really squeezing toothpaste. --- How do early lock-in participants feel now? Their mentality is probably blown up. --- Basically, they don't want you to leave; you must keep playing this game. --- As the distribution points increase, profits are diluted to nothing; who still has enthusiasm? --- I've seen this trick too many times. Eco-stability? Ha, first stabilize the leek's mentality. --- Sell or continue to bet? It's a dilemma. This is the feeling of a casino.
