Recently, there's been talk again about re-staking and shared security, in simple terms, it's about splitting the same "trust" into many parts to sell. The returns look quite attractive when stacked up, but the risks also accumulate at the same time, just not obvious in everyday situations. I'm more sensitive on this side of the bridge: if the underlying verification model has some bias, the projects attached above might shake together, and people are still calculating annualized returns, but it's all an illusion.
In the past couple of days, before and after the main chain upgrade/maintenance, everyone in the group has been guessing whether the ecosystem will migrate. I actually think there's no need to rush into the hype: whether it migrates or not is one thing, but where your safety boundary lies is another. Anyway, I still only dare to cross bridges with guardrails; earning less is more reassuring. Looking only at TVL (Total Value Locked) isn't enough; what's key is who is backing it and who is responsible if something goes wrong.
