Promote with Leviathan NewsSteeves already stepped down as Opentensor CEO and dTAO was supposed to move emission allocation to market-based mechanisms — but Covenant claims a founder can still unilaterally suspend subnet emissions and time token dumps to pressure operators. Losing the team that delivered your best proof-of-concept (72B model, Jensen Huang endorsement, three high-emission subnets) while TAO drops 18% is a different category of problem than some anon calling you centralized on CT. If the protocol's architecture actually prevents unilateral emission suspension, show the on-chain proof; if it doesn't, the "decentralization theatre" label sticks.
