The best method that I know of that we can do, while keeping the decentralized nature of the platform is:

Smaller tiny govs grouping together to make Tiny more expensive and thereby harder to rug from a single deep-pocket whale.

And from my stance the only long-term method we have to do that that also preserves minimal risk to us all, is absorbing more sell-pressure from the market.

We can do that two ways: all buy up more tiny – a hard enough thing to do with the current economic environment.

Or make selling have less of an effect:  
Also known as committing our tiny power to increase liquidity in tiny-paired LPs and/or committing ourselves to increasing those LPs (like tiny/usdc) over the long-term.

We make tiny more expensive to buy, we help put pressure on whales buying up tokens to back and farm their own rugpulls.

A single whale may have a LOT of tiny power, but it’s own effect can be countered by combining a handful of our top accounts, or a lot of our mid-range accounts into putting our tinypower in a single LP.

The most nonobjective and useful IMO: tiny/usdc, and secondarily: Tiny/taglo.

ADDED:  
The issue is, we have to be able to coordinate effectively between us.

Of note I have brought up some ideas here regarding a potential[Tiny200 initiative.](https://gov.tinyman.org/t/enhancing-tinyman-governance-model-lp-edition/998/10)

I also suggested maybe a small UI change to our gov list on the website [here.](https://gov.tinyman.org/t/enhancing-tinyman-governance-model-lp-edition/998/12)

> How difficult would it be to add a column on the site for highlighting users that are above a specific threshold of liquidity in an LP? With a little icon badge for important tiny pairings, along with a small data list of the top 5 or so contributors to major LP’s for tinyman.
> 
> Example: Say a little icon for “core contributor” or something if you contribute 5/10/15% of a total LP (along the lines of bronze/silver/gold) ?
> 
> So lets say Kedmd held 10% of the tiny/gobtc and 10% of tiny/talgo he’d get two small badges, one for each LP highlighting it, and then on the actual LP screen there would be a little list at the bottom highlighting top 5 or 10 accounts by share of the LP they held (listed as something like core contributors).
> 
> For one, easy transparency, but also to highlight (and somewhat gamify) contributions to core LPs and hopefully encourage more use of them.
