These days, there's been a lot of talk about sharding and parallel processing, and the timeline is so lively it seems like a major change is coming... But as someone who makes a living on DEXs, I still focus on three main things: where to put assets, how to withdraw, and whether withdrawals will get stuck halfway. No matter how fast the new chain is, if the bridge glitches or the routing takes a detour, slippage will just pile up, making you doubt everything.

The NFT royalty debate has also flared up again, and it feels pretty real: creators want stable earnings, secondary markets want smooth liquidity, and in the end, it's usually retail investors who foot the bill. Anyway, before I get into any narrative now, I always think about the "exit strategy"—can I switch back to mainstream assets with one click, is there enough depth, and are the permissions in order. It's fun to watch the chaos, but the assets still need to be withdrawable; otherwise, no matter how rich the ingredients are, it's all pointless.
