Recently, there's been a lot of talk about parallel processing, sharding narratives, and such, which is indeed lively, but I’m feeling a bit Zen about it now: don’t rush to jump in first, just see if the assets can be safely withdrawn after putting them in. Honestly, even if the returns are attractive, if the withdrawal path is unclear, permissions are a mess, and bridges still need to go back and forth, I can't sleep peacefully. I’m still mainly holding stablecoins in small amounts, slowly eating away at them; whether the pool is stable or not isn’t the main point, the key is whether I can “withdraw quickly” when something goes wrong.
By the way, the NFT royalty water war also looks pretty similar: creators want to get more, but the secondary market fears liquidity being stuck, and in the end, whoever can exit smoothly wins. Anyway, I saw the new protocol’s promotional page was too full, so I took a screenshot first… to compare later and see how fast they change their tune. That’s all for now.
