I'm currently looking at L2/new chains, not getting caught up in the terminology, just focusing on one main thread: who is actually in line for your transactions, where is the data stored, and who ultimately says "it's settled." Don't be scared by "finality/sorting/DA." Basically: can someone cut in line? Can someone secretly modify it? If data is lost, can you still review the process? These are the real risks.

Recently, a bunch of AI Agents + automated trading are being hyped up, but I'm more concerned about who they are signing with, which routing they are taking, and whether they can be revoked if they fail... Don’t treat "intelligence" as a get-out-of-jail-free card. If protocols hide risks behind "we have this or that module," I just think: okay, explain it clearly first. Anyway, I’d rather go slower myself than gamble on a UX where "things go wrong and then they announce it."
