Lately, I've seen everyone talking about testnet incentives, whether points can be exchanged for airdrops, and whether the mainnet will really issue tokens... I’ve lowered my expectations for now, which actually makes me feel more relaxed. Just doing some interactions as practice is enough.

If you really want to see if a project is "reliable," I, as a newbie, focus on three things: Is someone continuously updating on GitHub (not just a rush of commits over a week), are the audit reports clearly stating what was found and how it was fixed (don't just put a logo and call it a day), and is the upgrade permission multi-signed, who are the signers, what are the thresholds, and can the contract be casually changed with one click? Honestly, the less you trust "narratives," the more you should look at these hard facts... That's all for now.
