Just came out of a panel discussion about a sharding project—it’s giving me a headache… to be honest, no matter how lively people talk about parallelization and sharding, the same old stuff keeps going around in my head: getting in is easy, but getting out depends on luck.

Recently, the chain game side has been collapsing pretty badly. Once the inflation model kicks in and the studio scripts fail, the coin price spirals straight down. It’s painful to watch, but honestly, this kind of model is hard to last. At its core, it’s basically an upgraded version of passing the parcel. Anyway, when I run into a project now, I first check the exit door—no matter how sexy the narrative sounds.

That said, the direction of sharding and parallelization isn’t necessarily wrong either—it just needs time to be validated. Some people are building the ecosystem, some are working on governance, and some are just there to cash in on the hype; separating them isn’t hard. Just look at whether their team has weekly meetings that are as stinky and drawn-out as mine—lol. That’s it for now. I’ll keep watching my exit strategy.
