It's unbearably stuffy outside today, and there's still traffic jams. My cup of coffee has gone cold just sitting there... I casually checked the APYs of a few yield aggregators, the numbers look pretty tempting, but honestly, it's often not about "earning interest," it's about giving your money to a series of contracts plus a bunch of counterparties spinning around. As long as the strategy involves borrowing, leverage, or re-staking, any little issue (liquidation, oracles, permissions, liquidity drain) can turn that high APY into just a screenshot. Recently, everyone’s been complaining that validators/miners are making too much profit from MEV and transaction ordering, and I can understand: you think you're earning "passive income," but once transaction order and front-running come into play, your profits are first taken away by others. Anyway, before I look at APY now, I first check which contracts the money actually went into, who has permissions, and whether I can escape in the worst case... Otherwise, it’s just like drinking cold coffee—something just doesn’t feel right from the start.
