Recently, I’ve been studying terms like “data availability, ordering, finality,” and at first, I was scared too. But then I figured out a main line: what you think you’re doing on the chain is actually asking three questions — whether anyone can see the data (can it be audited later), who decides the order (whether there will be front-running), and when the transaction is truly finalized (whether there will be retractions or reorganization). Once I thought of it this way, it didn’t seem so mysterious anymore.

Speaking of which… I find that whenever I see new L1/L2 incentives, TVL suddenly spike, I tend to get excited. Psychologically, I always feel “if I don’t participate now, I’ll miss out.” Even though I know veteran users are complaining about mining, yield farming, and selling, I still want to try my luck first. I’ve now set a small rule for myself: if I can’t figure out where the data is stored, who’s in line, or how long it takes to finalize, I won’t touch leveraged contracts. Better to go slow — I really don’t want to be the next victim of the “leek.”
