Previously, when looking at yield aggregators, I only focused on the APY numbers, thinking "auto-compounding = worry-free."


Now I instead check what contracts they have adjusted, whether the funds go into a treasury or just cycle back.
Honestly, no matter how good the APY looks, you might be bearing a bunch of counterparty risks: which lending pools are used in the strategy, which swap routes, whether your position has been collateralized again...
Now I even add an extra line when taking notes: whether the exit path is smooth, if there are speed limits on emergency withdrawals, so you don’t find yourself queuing at the door when you want to leave.

Recently, there’s been a main chain upgrade, and everyone in the group is speculating whether the ecosystem will move.
I’m a bit anxious too: if the chain maintenance causes the aggregator strategy to get stuck on cross-chain/bridges/oracles, the APY could instantly become "APY (currently unavailable)."
Anyway, I’d rather earn less now and make sure I understand the contract permissions, admin keys, and upgrade switches...
That’s it for now, afraid I might get soft and impulsive again when confirming.
