Recently, there's been more talk about concurrency, sharding, and these narratives—it's lively, no doubt, but I always feel like we shouldn't be led astray by the "throughput imagination." Frankly, I care more about two things: where the assets are stored and how to exit if something goes wrong. Especially now, with staking, shared security, and yield stacking—what some call "nested"—I can understand the criticism. When layers keep adding, the risk isn't linear; the exit paths become narrower and narrower. Once stuck, it's very hard to exit gracefully.

When I look at projects myself, I first ask: if something really goes wrong, can I get my money back on the chain? How long would it take? Is there anyone who can block me along the way? These questions feel more concrete than just listening to stories. Now, let's see.
