It's pouring outside and traffic is at a standstill, the coffee on the table has gone cold... I casually checked a few projects related to staking/sharing security, recently "nested yield farming" has been getting criticism, which is normal. Honestly, what everyone fears is that the trust chain is too long.

For me, "credibility" boils down to three simple things that even a beginner can do: first, check if GitHub has ongoing activity (not just some project that suddenly came back to life a week ago); second, review the audit reports for unresolved or only mitigated issues—don't just look at the cover page listing a few auditors; finally, pay attention to permission upgrades—how many people need to sign, what the threshold is, whether there's a timelock, and if emergency shutdown is possible. No matter how attractive the returns are, if I hold the master key for upgrades, I only have one thought: survive first, then talk about profits.
