These days, I keep seeing screenshots of high yields from re-staking/sharing security again, and it's hard not to be jealous... but I do worry a bit about that kind of "compound returns" eventually turning into an illusion. To put it simply, what you're getting isn't free money, but rather taking on several layers of risk: underlying asset fluctuations + protocol rule changes + penalties/validator misbehavior + liquidity crunches that make it impossible to exit. Recently, everyone has been comparing RWA and US Treasury yields to on-chain products, and I actually find it quite useful: at least with US Treasuries, you probably know what you're earning and where you're losing. On-chain, I only dare to try with small positions for now, first calculating the real annualized return, then asking myself, "Can I sleep soundly in the worst case?" If yes, keep it; if not, withdraw. That's the plan for now.
