Just woke up and saw another round of L2 water wars: TPS screenshot sharing, fee tables, ecosystem subsidies shouted as if in a competition, quite lively. But in my mind, it’s more like watching a drama of “parallel + sharding”—the more scenes and faster cuts, the easier it is for someone to forget that the main character is actually their own assets.
Recently, I look at on-chain stories and first ask two questions: where does the money go, can it be withdrawn if something goes wrong; how to pass the bridge, who has the permissions, if the front end crashes, is there a backdoor to self-rescue. To put it simply, no matter how fast the speed, there must be a clear exit path, or it’s just speeding up the plot to a “nightmare.” Anyway, I now prefer to go slower, confirm the address and signatures multiple times, and finish this episode of safety first.
