Recently, there's been talk about parallel processing and sharding, as if they've been unlocked... But I'm a talkative person, so I only focus on two things: where to actually put the assets, and how to withdraw if something really goes wrong. The more complex the chain, the clearer the exit path must be: cross-chain bridges, custody, multi-signature, delayed withdrawals—if these details aren't clearly explained, I treat them as "don't touch for now."
Before and after the upgrade/hard fork of that mainstream public chain, everyone in the group was guessing whether the project would migrate. I actually don't feel excited: whether they migrate or not is their KPI, what I care about is "if they migrate, how do I get my money out, and what if the shutdown happens before I do."
Lowering my expectations made me feel more relaxed: I don't expect technical narratives to save me, I just ask that the protocol doesn't hide risks, and the UI doesn't look like it's trying to trick people. That's it for now.
