To judge whether a project is reliable, I don’t really look at “how high the returns are” at first glance—especially lately, when everyone puts RWA, US bond yields, and on-chain yield products side by side to compare. The more you compare, the easier it is to get led around by sales talk… To put it simply: first see whether it’s going to run into problems, and if something goes wrong, who can pause it.

Beginners want to read credibility from GitHub, audits, and upgrade-related multisig—my simple approach: on GitHub, don’t just look at stars; check whether commits are consistent, whether there are discussions and rollbacks, and whether key changes have been reviewed. For audit reports, don’t blindly trust the “big firm seal”—focus on whether the issue list was fixed, how it was fixed, and whether it was re-tested after the fixes. For multisig, it’s even more practical: who the signers are, how many people can move funds/execute upgrades, and whether there’s a timelock (the kind that gives the community time to react). These are more real and straightforward than long whitepapers.

The information environment is too noisy, so my noise-reduction strategy is one thing only: follow only updates that can change permissions or redirect fund flows; treat the rest of the excitement as background noise for now. For now, that’s it.
