Recently, parallel processing and sharding have been discussed with the same enthusiasm as high-speed expansion, but from my “rearview mirror” perspective, I can’t stop thinking about something else: even if there are more lanes, where are the brakes and exits? To put it simply, asset safety and exit paths are the chassis—otherwise, once the chain gets congested, a bridge gets stuck, an LP gets locked, and a contract has a glitch. No matter how fast you go, you’re just rear-ending others faster…

The whole play-to-earn game crash pattern also looks pretty similar: inflation + studios grinding jobs + a coin price spiral, and in the end, everyone is fighting for the same exit, so the chain starts to play out “cutting in line.” That’s why I’m used to giving myself “backups”—not teaching you how to back up, but leaving an escape door for every route: who has the permissions, whether assets can be withdrawn unilaterally, and whether there are alternative routes if something goes wrong. Anyway, I’d rather move slower—I don’t want to have my rearview mirror taken off me when it’s the most crowded.
