Recently, someone asked me whether yield aggregators are really worth it or not.
Honestly, it looks great with a high APY, but behind the scenes, there are several layers of contracts "passing the baton" to you, and you may not even know who the counterparty is.
One layer of contracts after another, and if something goes wrong, it’s not just your own carelessness to blame...
Now I prefer to review the process first: where the money actually goes, who can control it, and who bears the responsibility if something goes wrong.
Especially lately, everyone has been complaining that validators/miners are relying too much on MEV, and the ordering isn’t very fair.
You might think you’re earning interest, but you could actually be just providing traffic for others.
And one more thing I need to remind myself: I mistake simplicity for a trap.
Anyway, slow down, do less, and sleep more peacefully.
