Well, yesterday I was very surprised that I got twin articles posted on hive through #inleo’s interface even though I posted this article only once.
Obviously, I want only one article not two as this fragments votes. What I mean is I want one article to get all votes not have two artilces each getting some votes! This is fragmentation of votes while it also confuses my audience on which article to vote!
Understanding how twin articles got generated when the author published only one article!
Ok, let me explain how twin articles got generated when I posted my article only once.
#inleo had some posting problems yesterday, where when I was clicking publish button, my article was not getting posted with this message popping up that ‘something went wrong while creating your post’
I even posted a thread about it here -:
However, looks like without my knowledge when the post was not getting created, because of some issue with #inleo it got published and again one post got created when I clicked publish button.
So, it was not my mistake that I got twin posts on #inleo and I hope @hivewatchers / @hivewatcher team don’t downvote my twins for this.
Obviously, I won't create twin posts on purpose to get fragmented votes, instead of procuring solid votes on my just one post.
Understanding the fragmentation problem in DEFI!!
Now, having touched on the topic of fragmentation of votes, I will talk about how I borrowed this terminology from DEFI only.
Fragmentation of liquidity is the case in DEFI because an asset is not whole in the application, there are different versions of that asset. So, for example ETH is a whole asset but when it’s brought into another blockchain’s dapp via a bridge, a wrapped version of ETH comes about.
This wrapped ETH is not native ETH, liquidity for the wrapped ETH needs to be bootstrapped with native ETH.
Now, imagine many wrapped versions of ETH on a dapp, because it’s wrapped by many different bridges from different blockchains having different token standards. Liquidity is fragmented.
Instead of one ETH getting liquidity and being used for trading, lots of wrapped versions of ETH get used and LP rewards is diluted and solid volumes of the asset is lessened because it’s divided between different wrapped versions of ETH.
Obviously, this impacts liquidity providers, asset swappers, traders, with less LP rewards, less volume so more slippage and such things.
Just explaining, that I am getting this sort of fragmentation issues without creating any wrapped version of my article. Anyway, hope what I explained made sense.
Thanks for reading !
