I just looked at a yield aggregator's "high APY," almost hesitated and clicked away... Later, I clicked a couple more times before realizing it's not simply throwing money into a pool, there's actually a layer of contract in between, and then finding a "partner" to do the work. To put it plainly, the interest you earn might be paying a bunch of contracts you haven't even reviewed to do work.



What's even more outrageous is the recent AI agent and automated trading setups, many people hype them up as if they are fully automatic money-printing machines. All I want to ask is: who is responsible for the permissions of that "robot"? If you approve too broadly, one day if the contract or counterparty malfunctions, they won't even want to pay the gas for regret transactions.

Anyway, I've gotten used to it now: if I can do it manually, I do it manually; if the limit can be small, I keep it small; before batch operations, I first calculate the costs and see who’s really holding my money and running errands... Today’s experience was a bit scary, so I’ll leave it at that for now.
