I now mainly look at the project's "credibility" and don't pay much attention to the hype anymore. First, I casually browse GitHub: it's not about understanding the code, but checking if it's being actively maintained, whether issues are being addressed, and if major changes happen suddenly. When combined with audit reports, don't just focus on the words "audited"; pay attention to the scope and whether known issues have been fixed. Many pitfalls are actually written in the "not covered/limitations" section.

Upgrades and multi-signature are also quite important: who holds the permissions, whether the logic can be changed with one click, and how long delays take to take effect. Recently, bridges have had issues, and oracles have been acting up, so everyone is "waiting for confirmation." Basically, don't trust real-time results too much... I'm also creating redundant "backup" strategies for myself: don't put too many eggs in the same chain or in the same permission set, leave some room to retreat, and sleep more peacefully.
