Recently, people keep asking me: How reliable are GitHub, audit reports, multi-signature upgrades, really? Honestly, don’t expect to see everything at a glance. Start with the most basic: Is GitHub maintained over the long term? Are updates consistent and traceable? When problems arise, does the maintainer seriously respond to issues, or is it just a sudden burst of commits overnight with the author disappearing like they vanished?

Don’t blindly trust audit reports either. A report doesn’t equal security. Focus on whether it audits the latest version and whether it includes conclusions like “fixed/not fixed,” especially how it handles permission-related vulnerabilities. Some projects list high-risk issues but drag their feet on fixing them. I’ll silently blacklist those.

I care more about multi-signature upgrades: who can upgrade, how many keys are needed, and whether there’s a time lock. If I see a system that can be upgraded with a single click at any time, I get a bit nervous no matter how hot the narrative is. Recently, AI agents and automated trading tools are being hyped up, but the more automated they are, the easier it is to hand over authorization. Security really needs to be scrutinized carefully… otherwise, it’s just a ticking time bomb.
