I almost copied the LP redemption address onto the wrong chain just now, and I only realized it before confirming after a shaky hand, missing half a beat... Cross-chain puzzles like this are really missing a piece and can cause issues; it's a wake-up call for myself.
By the way, about that AMM thing, I keep seeing phrases like "market making passive income" lately, and I start to roll my eyes. The curve mechanism, simply put, is you giving way to the price automatically; when the price deviates, your position passively deforms. Impermanent loss isn't some mysterious phenomenon; it's written into the formula. The fees earned often just serve to "patch the leak," and when the market moves significantly, it's normal that you can't make it back.
Also, recently, the "compound yield" from staking/sharing security sets has been causing a lot of noise, which I think is pretty normal: the underlying risks aren't clearly explained, and people just stack the yields to look lively. When something really goes wrong, it becomes a chain reaction. Anyway, I only dare to test the waters with small positions in LP now—double-check the exit paths, chains, and addresses three times before talking about yields. That's how I do it for now.
