I tried staking LST again and then re-staking, to put it simply, it’s like layering an additional yield on top of the "staked notes." The returns seem to appear out of nowhere, but most of it actually comes from: people willing to pay for liquidity, protocol subsidies, and the premium you get for taking on more complex risks. That’s where the problem lies — the underlying staking rewards are still there, but if the subsidy stops, liquidity is pulled out, or if any of the contract/bridge/oracle lines have issues, the drop isn’t something to take lightly. I was pretending to stay calm while my hands trembled a bit to confirm… In the end, I found I didn’t make much profit, but my heartbeat was definitely racing. By the way, I want to complain that recently, on-chain tools and tagging systems have been said to be lagging or misleading, and I agree: looking at the dashboard feels reassuring, but when something really goes wrong, it might already be two steps too late. Anyway, I now only dare to try small positions with this kind of thing, always keeping "loss-tolerance" in mind.
