It's pouring rain today and the traffic is ridiculously congested, and the coffee has gone cold... Scrolling through another bunch of parallel/sharding narratives flying around, the community is lively with shouting, but I, as a "security guard at the door," just want to ask: where does the money come from, and can it go out? Recently, new L1/L2 projects are offering incentives to attract TVL, and veteran users complain that "mining, selling, and withdrawing" is not just fuss; basically, liquidity can be pulled at any time, and those who stay are just taking the risk. Don't just focus on TPS and stories; first, think clearly about asset security, bridge/contract permissions, emergency pause, and your own exit strategy. Otherwise, even the most beautiful proposal is just a brain fart. Anyway, I directly criticize those who don't specify the budget clearly or set no limits on unlocking.
