Recently, modularization and the narrative of the DA layer have become popular again, developers are talking about it excitedly, but as a user, I’m still completely confused: who is actually more "trustworthy"?
In the past, I only focused on candlestick charts and funding rates; whenever I opened a perpetual position, I’d get overly excited, and every time I got wrecked, I blamed my own quick hands...
Now I force myself to check three things first: whether GitHub is being actively maintained (not just a sudden burst of commits that seem fake), whether the audit report clearly states boundaries and known risks (don’t just look at the words "audited"), and whether the upgrade involves multi-signature, who the signers are, what the threshold is, and if rules can be changed overnight.
Actually, I don’t understand much either; it’s just to cool myself down.
What I don’t regret is learning to pause 30 seconds before clicking "Open Position," to first reduce the position size, because when emotions run high, it’s easiest to treat "trustworthiness" as a decoration.
