Recently, there's been talk again about sharding and parallel processing, and the chat groups are lively as if it's the New Year. But my old self, who has seen it all, has a simple mindset: no matter how fast it gets, I first need to think clearly about where to put my assets and whether I can get them out. To put it plainly, with more bridges, cross-chain options, and various new wallet permissions, the costs of failed transactions and the tuition fees for "multi-signature keys forgotten by whom" are also rising.

I thought that after sharding, the chain would be more "fair," but the MEV (Miner Extractable Value) is still the same. Miners/validators are making even more profit, while retail investors are complaining that the transaction ordering is like a lottery... Anyway, I don't think there's a rush to adopt the new narrative now. First, I want to have my exit plan in mind: if I really need to run, which bridge to use, which main chain to land on, whether to multi-sign, and how much fee to reserve. No rush is fine; I just don't want to end up with a pile of dust and a simple "pay attention next time."
