Recently, a bunch of new L1/L2 projects are launching incentives to attract TVL. Watching the data surge makes me want to laugh. Veteran users mine while complaining, "Mining, selling, and dumping." Honestly, everyone is pretty honest. I also thought about security: putting small amounts in hot wallets + spreading across several addresses. Losing them would be painful but not enough to keep you awake; as assets grow, hardware wallets can at least reduce the chance of losing everything from clicking the wrong link. Going further (or if you often manage funds with others), multi-signature is very appealing—more trouble but not relying on one person to bear the risk. I feel social recovery is more suitable for those who are afraid of losing their seed phrases, provided you truly trust those guardians; otherwise, social recovery can be quite embarrassing. Anyway, I’m usually cynical, but I still get itchy to try new protocols… Just look twice before signing. That’s all for now.
