Just saw someone hyping how high the re-staking yields are, and I have to ask: where does this yield actually come from? Either someone’s covering the downside, or it’s essentially a liquidity-premium trap that later users get stuck with. Anyway, no matter how fantastically those LSTs are being marketed right now, I only believe one thing: re-staking, in essence, stacks risk on top of risk. If a bridge or the underlying contract makes a mistake, don’t even expect to make up the principal. Recently, when a certain chain did an upgrade, everyone was speculating whether ecosystem projects would take advantage of the downtime for migrations—I just laughed. Before migrating, you should first ask whether the bridge is solid enough. Don’t end up with your staked assets stuck on the old chain while the new chain hasn’t synced yet—blocked on both sides. In any case, I’d rather earn less than be the unlucky person who ends up as the last one to get liquidated.
