Recently, I've been looking into projects and no longer just listen to the phrase "it's stable after an audit" in the group chat. To be honest, I can't understand the details of the audit report either, but I first look at the conclusion and scope: what exactly was audited, what wasn't, and whether "known risks were launched first." Then I check GitHub for update frequency and the size of changes; a sudden bunch of major updates without explanation makes me nervous.

Upgrading multi-signature is also quite important. You may not be able to check all signers, but at least look at the threshold and decentralization—don't let one or two people directly change the logic... For cross-chain bridges being hacked, it's often "permissions too centralized + changes too fast." After that abnormal quote from the oracle, everyone was "waiting for confirmation." Now I also do: after a major update, wait two days to see if there's a rollback or community questioning.

I still believe that teams truly committed to long-term work can't hide transparency.
