Meaning that, we vote if the project benefits the community... and then, perhaps there are rules, practices, so to say, that are accepted (like there are now: deposits, times, curves, etc).\n- There was never a vote or even a WFC related to best practices in this sense, perhaps there should be and make it official.\n- We also agreed in the fact that Fiat usage is organic, because projects benefit from stability. The ecosystem many also benefit from using stables, but it is perfectly compatible with some projects that also hold DOT. Is a different type of benefit.\n- I pointed that the W3F is inconsistent in their position: some programs encourage projects to use DOT, while others discourage you from using DOT. They should have a consistent position, and that be known.\n- If it turns out that Sables is the way to go, lets update documentation, and make it official.\n\nThey thanked us for pushing for clarity, and will raise the discussion internally for the purpose of aligning a consistent posture.\n\nAs for us, we are not anti-stable, we came to the referendum asking DOT and feeling pride for holding it. We were just surprised to have alienated potential supporters. \n\nIf its stables, so be it. But at least we are making an effort to get the community to clarify/make official its position on stables, which, anyway, it is an evolving field. \n\nWe still ask you for your vote, given the circumstances, and will adhere to whatever best practice that turns out to be. If it is stables, so be it.
