These days, people are talking about parallelism and sharding again, and the group chat is buzzing like “the faster the chain, the more money”… and I feel a bit unsure listening. To put it simply, even if performance is blazing fast, you still need to think things through first: where exactly are the assets placed, when you’re moving back and forth, who provides the backstop and is responsible as the backstop, if something really goes wrong how do I exit, is the path a straight line or a maze. I’ll also take a closer look at TVL— is the liquidity piled up truly long-term, or does it disperse as soon as the incentives stop.

AI agents and automated trading are also pretty popular. My roommate keeps shouting, “Let the robot help me make money,” and I just want to ask one thing: who manages the private key, how much authority gets granted, is there a button for rollback/undo… In any case, I’d rather be slower; I don’t want to go so fast that in the end I can’t even find the door to retreat. That’s all for now.
