Lately, looking at projects' "show off" on GitHub and audit reports has become a bit visually exhausting, especially Layer 2, where every day they compare TPS, costs, and subsidies, arguing like vendors fighting for stall space in a market... I don't want to be too harsh, but newcomers really want to see credibility, not just focus on those audit PDF covers.
I usually take a quick glance first: Is someone actively working on GitHub long-term (not just a rush push right before launch), and can I understand what they are fixing; then I check the upgrade multi-signature, who are the signers, whether they are decentralized, and if there are time locks/delays—things that give you a "window to back out." Honestly, audits are more like health check reports, while upgrade permissions are about whether they can swap your organs in the middle of the night. Tired but still watching, because losing money once is much more costly than writing jokes.
