A few days ago, I wanted to go all-in on LST/re-staking again, and my thoughts were pretty simple: take the ETH staking proof and layer on an "additional yield," which is basically like doing two jobs with the same principal... Later I realized that the returns don't come out of nowhere; it's mainly because someone is willing to pay for security/liquidity/services, plus a portion from MEV, incentive subsidies, and the like combined. The problem is that the risks also stack up: the underlying staking can be penalized or confiscated, and if the layer above re-staking encounters protocol bugs, parameter changes, or liquidity dries up, even withdrawing might get stuck. Recently, I've seen people complain about validator income, MEV, and unfair ordering, and I can resonate with that. To put it simply, who takes the "edge cases" and how they are divided—retail investors are always the last to know... I'm going to start with a small position now, keep a close eye on my wallet, and avoid rushing into losses and paying tuition too quickly.
