Recently, people have started talking about parallel/sharding narratives again, with a bunch of folks in the group monitoring testnet tasks, earning points, and guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens… It’s lively, but after being rug pulled once, I really don’t dare to just look at the “story.” To be honest, I first ask myself two questions: How do assets go in and out? Is there an exit route if something goes wrong?

Now I’m more used to watching the team’s wallet movements, unlocking pace, who’s managing the bridge and multisig, especially those paths like “cross-chain first, then staking, then earning points,” where missing one step can be really frustrating. My partner even teased me for checking on the contract permissions: Do you really need to look at permissions just to test the network? I said not checking permissions is more like being love-blind… Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less than hand over exit rights to unaudited code.
