Recently, everyone has been talking about sharding and parallel processing, and the discussions are quite lively. I admit I’m a bit slow on the uptake... At first, I thought it was just another case of "changing the words to keep competing." But then I saw all the complaints about the on-chain packing order—questions about validator income, MEV, whether the ordering is fair, retail investors being squeezed in and out. Honestly, no matter how advanced the technology is, it all comes down to whether "my assets can be safely withdrawn." My first reaction to a project now isn’t TPS, but: where is the money flowing in, who has the authority, how to do an emergency exit, and whether there are pitfalls in bridges and re-staking layers. It’s better to keep the main course stable in your meal; side dishes can be experimental, but you need to think about how to withdraw if everything goes wrong... First, just stay alive.
