Recently, someone sent me a screenshot of a yield aggregator, saying the APY looks pretty attractive.

I instinctively checked the contract and fund flows: who is actually helping you "aggregate"?
Are there backdoors in the contract permissions?
Is the strategy just transferring money to other pools?
I'm most worried about those that look like DeFi but are actually layered with counterparty layers, and when something goes wrong, no one knows who to blame.

On the macro side, they’re talking about interest rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, and risk assets are both rallying and retreating...
But honestly, at times like this, it’s easiest to be led by high APY, and a moment of impulsiveness can turn "temporary interest rates" into "guaranteed returns."

Now I’ve lowered my target instead:
I don’t chase the brightest numbers, just pick strategies I can understand and can handle if problems arise—slower, but more sustainable.
Anyway, I’m not here for dating; execution and exit strategies are more important than slogans.
