I also wasn’t very good at reading GitHub and audit reports at first, and I always felt that was something only security people needed to worry about. Later I found out it’s really just a few small habits: open the project homepage, skim whether there are any newly published audit reports, check the audit timestamp and the scope covered; then look at how many signers the upgrade multisig has, and where those signers are distributed—whether control is concentrated in one or two addresses. Even if you can’t read the code, you can still get an intuitive sense.

Recently, the group has started circulating all kinds of screenshots about stablecoin depegs again. To be honest, the faster the news spreads, the more you should slow down and don’t jump to conclusions. My approach is to first go back to the source and check reserve audits and on-chain data. Rumors often run faster than the truth, but they can’t outrun patient eyes. In any case, keep the target smaller—chase fewer hot topics—and make sure what you hold has a clear source and consistent logic. That way, you can stick with it for longer. Sometimes it’s also fine not to watch the K-line charts and just treat the code and governance as everyday, comfortable things.
