Prologue: Under an Iron-Black Sky
Rahab: “It’s a midnight alley with two signboards. One reads ‘Still bullish on ETH,’ the other ‘Migrating to Solana.’ Cointelegraph’s headline dances like a double epithet. Sorare says it’s moving to Solana while remaining ‘bullish on Ethereum.’ They even point to Base integration and continued ETH deposits.”
Moka: “So… ‘Solana for usability, ETH for faith’? Won’t ordinary people get confused?”
Rachel: “ ‘The market isn’t a teacher; it’s a capricious neighbor.’ Someone wrote that. Maybe the two signboards are just a survival tactic for riding the neighbor’s mood swings.”
John: “What those signboards reflect is the tension between UX and decentralization. That’s why we need to act from our own design principles. When we talk about PGirlsChain, it’s not evasion or defiance—it’s a design choice.”
Prologue: Overview of Sorare’s Two Signboards (Bullish on ETH × Migration to Solana)
Key Points Mapping (List + KPIs)
- Optimizing user experience (speed/fees)
- Ensuring continuity of existing users’ assets
- Concern about a governance void induced by multichain tactics
Facts on the Ground: Sorare’s Declaration to “Have It Both Ways”
Rahab: “Let me lay it out. Sorare is migrating from its long-standing environment to Solana—an ‘upgrade,’ they call it. The CEO simultaneously expressed confidence in ETH, clarified integration via Base, and said ETH deposits would continue. The article also cites other moves from ETH to Solana such as 1inch and The Graph.”
Cointelegraph
Moka: “What’s new is that ‘migration ≠ rupture.’ I also saw an explanation that the process is phased across October and that existing NFT attributes will be preserved.”
Cryptopolitan
Rachel: “So even amid complex movement, they’re signaling that ownership won’t wobble. Elsewhere there was a note about ‘exploring a future utility token.’”
RootData
John: “They’re framing it as searching for the consumer-UX sweet spot beyond the ETH/Solana binary. But this is exactly where a ‘governance void’ can open.”
1. Facts: The Overall Picture of the Migration & Related Topics
Phase Timeline (Line/Steps)
Component Breakdown Table
Element | Point | Note |
---|---|---|
Network | Phased migration to Solana | Optimization of speed/fees |
Stance on ETH | Still “bullish” | Connection via Base, etc. |
Assets | Attributes to be preserved | Policy of automatic migration |
Risks | Three points: bridge/compatibility/dependency | Requires mitigation design |
The Meaning of Two Signboards: Victory for UX or Retreat from Principle?
Rahab: “ ‘We believe in ETH, but we’re going to Solana.’ In other words: we’ll fly the flag of decentralization, but for now we’re going to win on UX. I see a ‘rift’ pulled open by ideals and the market tugging in opposite directions.”
Moka: “For most users, the honest answer is ‘Just give me what’s fast, cheap, and fun.’ But if that ends up reinforcing centralized decision-making and platform oligopolies, the bill comes due later.”
Rachel: “ ‘Only buy at a price that gives you a margin of safety.’ It’s an investor’s admonition, but it applies to network choice too. Get dazzled by near-term fees and throughput, and you miss long-term governance costs.”
John: “UX isn’t the villain—it’s indispensable. But ‘UX victory ≠ abandonment of decentralization.’ This is where design choices are tested.”
2. Implications: Tension Between UX-First and Decentralization
Radar Chart (UX vs. Governance View)
The Shadow of Big Capital: When the Web3 Signboard Gets Rewritten
Rahab: “I’m worried that U.S. mega-capital is shrinking ‘Web3’ into speculation and raffles—and whether intentionally or not, dismantling the DAO ethos: communities worldwide forming consensus in a self-governing, distributed way and sharing value.”
Moka: “You’re not saying VC money is bad per se, right? It’s just that when the center of gravity for governance gets placed far away, the community can always end up as the ‘victim of spec changes.’”
Rachel: “ ‘Leverage steals your sleep.’ I like that line. When capital structures get complicated and exit pressure rises, product values get pulled toward short-term numerical targets.”
John: “Lock the question of ‘who decides’ into the protocol itself. That’s our stance. Capital is welcome—provided the distribution of decision rights remains fixed to the community.”
3. Shadow of Big Capital: Financialization and the DAO Ethos Diverging
Risk Matrix (Impact × Likelihood)
Mitigation Measures (List)
- Cap the capital-weighting of voting power
- Two-stage voting + timelock
- Transparent accounting & publication of proposal summaries
- Community grants (small/ongoing)
The PGirlsChain Design: A Sovereign Network and the PGirls Token
Rahab: “So we operate our own network, PGirlsChain, and issue our own token, PGirls, to avoid dependency on outside contingencies. Not rebellion, not mere self-defense—this is an implementation of community sovereignty.”
Moka: “What does PGirlsChain actually give to users?”
Rachel: “ ‘Clear ownership,’ ‘monetization pathways,’ and ‘democratized access.’ Scarcity for limited editions is mathematical, royalties are contractual, and community participation is visible through NFT gating. We can’t extinguish speculation, but we can lay firebreaks.”
John: “Three design principles: ‘DAO-first governance,’ ‘permanent ownership and rights management,’ and ‘friction-reduction for off-chain UX.’ PGirls plays three roles: governance voting, creator rewards, and community benefits. Voting power is earned through ‘residency’—not made heavier by ‘investment.’”

Lessons from Sorare: Multichain Is “Tactics,” Governance Is “Strategy”
Rahab: “Sorare moves to Solana but embraces ETH users via Base. As tactics, multichain makes sense. I’m with them up to that point.”
Cointelegraph
Moka: “But if the ‘strategy’ isn’t visible, that’s unsettling. In the future—who decides on reward distribution, TOS changes, fee structure?”
Rachel: “ ‘Invest in rules, not expectations.’ It’s a short line, but it hits hard. Unless a protocol has procedures anyone can verify, peace of mind melts into reflexive market swings.”
John: “On PGirlsChain, major changes go through ‘two-stage voting plus a timelock.’ Stage one is signaling; stage two is binding execution. Validators are community-elected with slashing for code-of-conduct violations. We’ll build a ‘fast lane’ for UX, but there won’t be a ‘gate of fiat decree’ there.”

What We Give Back to Creators and Collectors
Rahab: “In this world, works aren’t merely ‘products’—they’re ‘designed encounters.’ Sorare’s high UX is both a threat and a model.”
Moka: “What promise do we make to ordinary users? ‘If you buy, support, and play, you’ll be fairly rewarded’—is that it?”
Rachel: “ ‘Compounding is the reward for patience.’ To reward those who stay in the community, PGirls distribution needs to emphasize ‘engagement time.’”
John: “At the app layer of PGirlsChain we’ll standardize: (1) automatic enforcement of secondary royalties, (2) access-pass NFTs for exclusive events, and (3) mission scoring for fan participation → PGirls distribution. Ownership = participation = reward, linked in a straight line.”

The Fragile “Bridges” of the Multichain Era—and Our Workarounds
Rahab: “The more chains you add, the more the bridge turns into a ‘thin glass suspension walkway.’ Even if Sorare says existing assets keep their attributes through a phased migration, bridge safety isn’t eternal.”
Cryptopolitan
Moka: “Eek—scary, but real. Moving assets always makes me nervous.”
Rachel: “ ‘It’s harder not to lose than to buy cheap.’ Loss aversion is basic behavioral finance.”
John: “On PGirlsChain we enforce a ‘minimum-movement’ design. Keep a single canonical original; other chains hold ‘referencable shadows.’ Cross-chain focuses on messaging, while the asset itself moves as little as possible. Bridges: multiple audits and an always-open bug bounty. UX is aided by L2-style bundling.”

Threat Model (Table)
Threat | Impact | Mitigation |
---|---|---|
Bridge Compromise | Asset Loss / Halt | Multiple Audits / Always-On Bug Bounty |
Message Forgery | Erroneous Execution | Multisig / Verifier Diversity |
Dependent Chain Failure | Reference Inconsistency | Canonical Origin / Reference-First |
Minimal-Movement Architecture (Concept)
Squeezed by Capital and Regulation: The Community Moves Anyway
Rahab: “Two giants—‘the state’ and ‘big capital’—arm-wrestle in the town square. Can a community wedge itself between them?”
Moka: “We’re tired of the ‘fireworks festival of speculation.’ The night sky is pretty, but the ashes in the morning always belong to the citizens who do the cleaning.”
Rachel: “ ‘Trends eventually become an ordeal by fire.’ What remains are cash flows, trust, and procedure.”
John: “Communities must always retain ‘exit options.’ PGirlsChain minimizes operational privileges so it survives whoever leaves, and quorum isn’t determined by the size of one’s wallet. Dialogue with regulators continues through ‘transparent accounting and clearly defined rights.’”

Comparative Cases: What the Migration Dominoes Tell Us
Rahab: “Sorare’s move isn’t an isolated event. 1inch and The Graph are also cited as steering toward Solana. The tide toward high-throughput realms is real.”
Cointelegraph
Moka: “Throughput is righteous—but not omnipotent. Whether people can participate as ‘it’s my thing’ is a different problem.”
Rachel: “ ‘Metrics are a map; the journey is your own feet.’ TPS and fees are just signposts.”
John: “We learn from the tide, but we don’t surrender sovereignty. We’ll connect to other chains when needed, but we’ll hold our own roots.”

On Execution: A Launch Playbook for PGirlsChain
Rahab: “Critique without action is empty. Let’s say what we’ll do.”
Moka: “And include ‘what users can do starting tomorrow’ from a mainstream perspective.”
Rachel: “ ‘Hope without a plan is just daydreaming.’ Give me the steps.”
John: “Got it.
Pre-launch: (1) Publish a governance charter (amendments via two-stage vote + timelock). (2) Begin audits and bug bounty. (3) Put on-chain templates in place for creators’ primary sales and secondary-royalty agreements.
Launch: (1) Initial PGirls distribution = contribution scores (code, design, translation, verification) + liquidity provision. (2) Unlock utility tying ‘ownership = participation = reward’ for collectors. (3) Prioritize ‘reference-style bridges’ for multichain connections.
Post-launch: (1) Community grants (small tickets, transparent review). (2) Governance education (meaning of voting and the value of ‘no’ votes). (3) KPIs prioritize ‘retention and time-to-adoption of proposals’ over mere ‘volume.’”

On Sorare’s Timeline: Migration Is a Process; Trust Is an Event
Rahab: “Sorare’s migration is phased, expected to complete across October. Existing cards will be reissued as Solana NFTs with attributes preserved. That shows care for ‘continuity of ownership.’”
Cryptopolitan
Moka: “There was also a claim about ‘automatic migration that doesn’t force user steps.’ Ideal—but if the bridge sways, anxiety will surface.”
PlayToEarn
Rachel: “ ‘Trust accumulates slowly and disappears all at once.’ Hence the need for the disciplined sequence ‘notice → signaling vote → execution.’”
John: “PGirlsChain also designs ‘reversibility.’ If danger is detected: ‘emergency freeze → revoke delegations → re-vote,’ all pre-agreed.”

Market Voice and Community Voice: Hear Both, But in the End…
Rahab: “The market speaks of today; the community speaks of tomorrow. Sorare’s ‘ETH-bullish & Solana migration’ feels like a response to the market’s voice.”
Cointelegraph
Moka: “But where do we reflect the community’s voice? Spec changes, reward design, freeze/BAN standards… The smallest daily decisions cut deepest into user experience.”
Rachel: “ ‘Forecasting is a bad habit.’ Show the procedures instead of pretty numbers.”
John: “On PGirlsChain we make things visible: (1) voting logs with human-readable summaries; (2) recorded reasons for rejection; (3) moderation with ‘dual review + appeals.’ A community matures when dissent is institutionalized.”

And Still We Build: In the Berserk Wasteland
Rahab: “The night is long, and the citadel of big capital is tall. But we can light a fire from the edge of the alley. PGirlsChain is that campfire.”
Moka: “When people gather, sound flows, works circulate, and rewards return—the fear eases once you can see that loop.”
Rachel: “ ‘When the road isn’t on the map, the only guide is your footprints.’ If the path we walk is etched into a ledger, those who follow won’t be lost.”
John: “Sorare’s ‘two signboards’ are an honest mirror of the age. UX or decentralization—our task is to design a third path that transcends the dichotomy. PGirlsChain and PGirls are mechanisms for communities to ‘own’ their relationships with their works.
Here’s the conclusion: Multichain is tactics; DAOs are the goal; governance is procedure; and sovereignty belongs to the community.
We’ll learn from Sorare’s story and keep writing our own. The darker the sky, the clearer the stars.”
13. Conclusion: Multichain Is “Tactics,” DAOs Are the “Goal,” and Sovereignty Belongs to the “Community”
