Don’t laugh—I used to genuinely think, “Having GitHub = reliable”… and I got educated a few times after that. Now when I assess a project’s credibility, I check three things first: GitHub isn’t about how many stars it has; it’s about whether there have been consistent submissions/commits recently, whether the same group of people keeps making repeat changes, and whether any changes to key contracts come with explanations. Also, don’t just screenshot the logo in an audit report—focus on whether the “issues found” have been fixed, whether they keep showing up again, and whether the audit scope only covered the corners.
Upgrading a multisig is even more realistic: how many people sign, who they are, and whether there’s a timelock (the kind that gives everyone time to react). Otherwise, honestly, it may still be usable today, but tomorrow the logic could be changed with one click. Recently, funding rates have been so extreme they’re ridiculous. While the group is arguing about whether to reverse or whether they’ll keep squeezing the bubble, I’m just going to slow down the interaction pace for now—I’d rather grab less than have to pay “trust tuition” again.
