Recently, people keep using “unlock calendar” to scare themselves. Honestly, feeling anxious is normal—I’ll glance at it too, but what I care about more is whether the project is actually reliable. For beginners looking at GitHub, I think don’t obsess over star counts; flip through the commits a couple more times: is it maintained by someone long-term? Are the changes made in a panicked way, like “hastily patching holes”?
Also, don’t just look at “passed/approved” in the audit reports. Pay attention to how high-risk issues are handled, whether they’re left unfixed for a long time, and whether later versions line up. And for upgrades involving multi-signature, look at who can sign, what the threshold is, and whether there’s a timelock (so everyone has time to react)… these are more substantive than slogans.
Anyway, I’m not constantly checking—once I understand clearly, I’ll sleep. There are some projects I still trust, but only to the extent that I can “accept the worst-case scenario.”
