Lately, while reviewing my own position notes, I suddenly felt a bit scared: a while ago, I almost moved a main position to do re-staking for compounded yields, thinking "It's just an LST anyway," then I stopped to reconcile the source of the yields and realized that part of it was actually supported by new subsidies and expected points, not "given out of thin air." To put it simply, the main returns from LST are still mainly from staking itself; the additional staking often means lending out the safety/penalty risk again, plus protocol incentives.



Airdrop season also greatly affects judgment; task platforms and anti-witch hunts make everyone compete like clocking in at work, and when points rise, I get tempted... But thinking about it, the biggest pitfall isn't low yields, but rule changes, penalty triggers, or liquidity withdrawal getting stuck. I'll leave that money in the layer I know best for now—taking it slow, even if it’s slow, at least I can sleep peacefully.
