Restaking looks like stacking yields on top of each other, which feels nice, but in these years of running nodes, the thing I really can't trust is the phrase "shared security." To put it bluntly, you stake your principal with A, then A stakes it with B. If B has an issue, A collapses too. Layer after layer, the risk doesn't disappear—it's just hidden.

Recently, with those cross-chain bridge and oracle incidents, the waiting for confirmations made people anxious. I actually think this "slowness" is the right approach. If data hasn't been put on-chain, it simply hasn't been on-chain. Don't rush to trust front-end numbers.

What I don't regret is pulling part of my position out of pure restaking last year and switching to running my own validator nodes. The yield is lower, but I can sleep at night. Anyway, in the current environment, only what can be verified is stable. As for the rest... let's just wait and see.
