Recently, we've been discussing LST/re-staking again. To put it simply, the main sources of profit are twofold: one is the basic rewards from staking, and the other is selling the "security/trust" again by charging service fees for activities on other protocols. It sounds very attractive, but the risks mainly come from these two areas: if the underlying chain encounters issues (punishments, delays, rule changes), or if the upper-layer re-staking tasks or contract designs fail, it might not just be a matter of earning less—it could directly drag the principal down with it.

These days, the main public chain is about to upgrade/maintain, and everyone in the group is guessing whether the ecosystem will migrate. I’m instead focusing on one thing: whether the signature pop-up windows, authorization scopes, and "temporary bridges/temporary migration tools" suddenly appear before and after the upgrade... Fishers love to jump on hot topics during such times.

The extra step I take for safety is also quite simple: I will open a small separate wallet for authorization testing, to confirm that the revoke permissions process works smoothly before using the main wallet. Spending a bit more time reduces the risk of heart palpitations. Anyway, no matter how high the returns are, one wrong signature and it’s all for nothing.
