This is the third time I remind myself not to get caught up in the hype over "Layer2 TPS winning again, transaction fees dropping again" and get carried away... Frankly, for someone like me who’s been unlucky with perpetuals, what I should really focus on is whether the project is reliable or not.
Right now, I only have three things as a newbie: First, check GitHub to see if anyone has really been working recently, not just submitting documentation changes; second, glance at the audit report, the key isn’t whether the conclusion looks good, but whether high-risk issues are clearly written and whether they’ve actually been fixed; third, look at the upgrade permissions—who signs, how many people, whether there are delays or restrictions, don’t just brush it off with “can upgrade.” Anyway, I’d rather earn less than get screwed over again by some “upgrade and directly change the rules” thing… That’s it for now, I’m getting a bit itchy again.
