Recently, parallel processing and sharding have become lively topics again, with discussions in the group sounding like "the next chapter of new narratives."

I'm more focused on exit strategies than chasing after the story.
To put it plainly, no matter how fast the chain is, it can't save you if you hand your assets over to unreliable contracts/robots.
I'm also watching AI Agents and automated trading, but the more automated it is, the more I have to ask: who has the permissions, can they be revoked at any time, and who takes responsibility if something goes wrong?
Anyway, I now prefer to go slower, first confirming authorization, cold wallets, and backups, before talking about "efficiency."
Don't get fooled by the hype and risk losing your position; if something really goes wrong, you won't even have a chance to press the retreat button.
