Recently, there have been a bunch of parallel and sharding narratives coming out again, and the group chat is quite lively, but my first reaction is still: how does the money come out after putting it in. The new L1/L2s start incentivizing heavily right after launch, pulling TVL rapidly; old users complain that "mining, withdrawing, selling" isn't without reason—basically, everyone is betting on the final moment. Anyway, right now I look at contracts like checking household registration: can permissions be changed at will, are there pause/blacklist options, who can move the treasury, are there any bottlenecks for bridge exits. No matter how good the performance, if the exit path is blocked, it's all just paper prosperity... I’d rather miss the excitement than be taught a lesson by a rug pull again.
