Tonight I'm again looking at yield aggregators, on the surface a string of APYs sounds attractive, but when you really break it down, it's basically "your money being moved around by the contract," with a bunch of authorizations, pool swaps, and re-staking in between. Frankly, the contract itself is the first layer of risk; the second layer is counterparty risk: the underlying pools, lenders, market-making strategies—if any of them act up, the aggregator can only take the hit. Recently, there have been cross-chain bridge hacks, and now I see those who chase yields across chains, I start to feel a bit uneasy... Also, during the oracle price anomalies, everyone in the group is shouting "wait for confirmation," which is basically a tacit acknowledgment that when information is asymmetric, it's better to hold off—don't be the first to act. Anyway, after reviewing, the more "automatic" the yield, the more I have to ask: who is actually bearing the risk for you? (I really can't sleep, so I look at this stuff.)
