Recently, I saw a bunch of LST and re-staking headlines, written as if "money falling from the sky"… Frankly, the returns aren't just made out of thin air: either it's the basic returns from validation nodes, or someone/protocol is using subsidies to lure you in, or it's just packaging the same security into a new product and charging a service fee. And as for the risks, they’re pretty straightforward: contract permissions, liquidation/unstaking, node penalties, liquidity runs, and the holes in promises that are made too many times. Modularization and DA layer narratives are now exciting developers, but users are confused. I feel that re-staking is also a similar pattern: stacking one story on top of another, which adds more uncertainty. I personally only buy a few experience tickets—being able to redeem and understanding where the money comes from—that’s enough for now.
