I observe whether the project is serious about doing things; recently, the focus has shifted to how the treasury is spent: it's not about spending less, but about spending "in line with milestones." For example, after each expenditure, can we see the corresponding PR, testing, documentation, or at least a clear explanation of why it wasn't completed after a couple of weeks? No matter how beautifully the budget is written, in the end, it just leaves a bunch of "market cooperation" and vague consulting fees, which essentially means buying time.

These days, the funding rate is extremely volatile again, and people in the group are arguing whether to reverse or continue squeezing the bubble. I think it’s quite similar to a treasury ledger: extreme times are the best test of whether people will just hype themselves up. The project team is the same—when times are good, spending opens the floodgates; when times are bad, they start to go silent... I just want a normal team: deliver on schedule, and don’t pretend not to see bugs. Auditing is romantic, no doubt, but spending money in places that can reduce tragedies is what really makes people feel at ease.
