Recently, parallel/sharding has been a hot topic again. To be honest, I don't really care how loud someone's TPS is. I'm more focused on asset security and exit strategies, rather than chasing narratives. Especially now with AI Agents and automated trading, which seem convenient for one-click on-chain interactions, but there are a bunch of pitfalls like permissions, signatures, and contract upgrade points. If something goes wrong, you won't even know which link failed. Anyway, my approach is: first think through the worst-case scenario for withdrawal, whether it can be withdrawn or not, then decide whether to participate; if the data is clear, look at it; if you're unsure, avoid it; and admit mistakes if you make them.
