These days, everyone is talking about sharding and parallel processing again, and the group chat is lively like a New Year’s party, but I feel even more anxious: no matter how fast the chain runs, if assets are unsafe or you can't withdraw, it's all meaningless. Frankly, I want to first see the “exit path” clearly—how to bridge out, where the liquidity is, who holds the permissions, and whether you can cut losses in time if something goes wrong.

The collapse points of blockchain games are also quite like a mirror: when inflation kicks in, studios enter the scene, token prices suddenly spike, and all narratives spiral downward… It’s lively, but in the end, it’s emotion that’s paying the bill.

My mom just asked me, “Is sharding the same as splitting the money into several parts for safety?” I could only reply half-heartedly: not necessarily, no matter how finely you split, the key is whether you can get it back and escape. Anyway, I’d rather go slow now and first figure out permissions, backups, and escape routes.
