To be honest, I've recently come across a bunch of discussions about LSTs and re-staking again, with everyone eyes shining as they watch the yields. I actually want to wait for a confirmation first... Where does the yield come from? It's nothing more than someone willing to pay for "safety/liquidity/point expectations," or the project team subsidizing and fronting the costs. It feels more like a hot air balloon that will drift away once the trend shifts. The risks are pretty straightforward: the underlying staking already has penalties and confiscations, and re-staking adds another layer of promises on top. If one day the contract has issues, validators go wrong, or subsidies stop, the pullback could be faster than expected. Recently, Layer 2 is still arguing about TPS versus fees, and the more aggressively subsidies are poured in, the more I want to slow down... I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it, but right now I just focus on whether I can withstand that kind of "sudden storyless" volatility. That's all for now.
