Why is on chain risk so hard for retail to see.

DISCUSSION

Something that’s always bothered me about crypto markets:

A lot of the risks people talk about. Wallet concentration, liquidity games, governance control, weird wallet cycling are actually visible on-chain long before things go bad. But in practice most retail never sees it early.

The information is scattered across explorers, analytics tools, dashboards, etc. and you have to piece a bunch of things together to understand what’s happening.

By the time the narrative changes, the signals were already there.

Out of curiosity I started playing around with a prototype that tries to surface some of those structural signals together in one view.

I started developing a tool for this but I'm wondering if anyone thinks there is room for one. I don’t want to build another tool that no one will use.
