Recently, the narrative around parallel processing and sharding has been getting quite heated again, with many people in the community studying who can achieve higher throughput. I’m actually more concerned with the old problem: how assets can be withdrawn once they are deposited. The new L1/L2 incentives and rapid TVL growth, along with old users complaining about “mining, selling, and withdrawing,” are not without reason. While the excitement is there, small details like chain bridges, contract permissions, and withdrawal queues can easily become issues where you see the profits but can’t withdraw the principal. I personally prefer to be a bit more cautious—whether it’s grid trading or mid-term strategies—first go through the withdrawal process, check address permissions carefully, and don’t wait until the tea is too hot to realize you forgot to bring a cup. It’s safer this way; opportunities will come again anyway.
