These days, I see everyone talking about re-staking and shared security.
Basically, it's about splitting a sense of security into many parts to sell, and the returns seem to stack up, but the risks also increase accordingly.
Many people are unwilling to do the math.
The income from miners/validators, MEV, and fair ordering are still being criticized.
I'm actually more cautious: when the underlying incentives start to become tangled, adding another layer of "profit Lego" on top can easily package uncertainty as stability.
My current approach is still the same old way: I don't touch overly complex re-staking with my main holdings.
If I do participate, I only take small positions as experiments, prioritizing cross-chain diversification and low correlation.
I'd rather earn a little less than turn my talisman into psychological comfort.
I'm not regretful about the outcome, but about treating "seems safer" as "really safer" at the time.
Let's leave it at that for now and watch slowly.
