Lately I've been reviewing projects related to re-staking/sharing security again, feeling like I'm in a library borrowing the book "Returns" and making it thicker... But honestly, as the returns accumulate, the risks are quietly stacking up too. The easiest illusion to fall into is thinking that one more layer equals one more certainty. Especially now, with testnet incentives and the points system raising everyone's expectations high, the group is guessing every day whether the mainnet will issue tokens. I also get tempted, but I still have to stick to the basics: where does the money come from, who is subsidizing, and who will cover the losses if something goes wrong. I spent the whole afternoon staring at spreadsheets, my eyes aching terribly, suddenly realizing that my body is reminding me not to get too caught up... Anyway, I prefer to take it step by step, first note down the few points I can understand clearly, and not to make my positions look like stacking blocks just for points.
