The group is arguing about MEV again. Someone posted a screenshot saying a swap had absurd slippage, and the reply underneath was, “Which RPC are you using?” Anyway, now we even have to study fairness in transaction ordering. It’s exhausting. Back to restaking: as an old-school RWA player, I originally thought staking once to earn yield was reassuring enough. But now you can stack three layers: stake ETH to receive LSTs, then put the LSTs into a restaking protocol. The yield has indeed compounded, but so has the risk. Put simply, each layer means signing another smart contract, adding another bridge, and adopting another “shared security” assumption—shared security sounds nice, but when something really goes wrong, responsibility is shared too. Who exactly are you supposed to seek compensation from? For now, I still have most of my funds in Ondo’s U.S. Treasuries, earning just over 5%. It’s not exciting, but I can sleep at night. I treat the restaking portion like buying a lottery ticket: if I win, I get an extra treat; if I lose… whatever, let’s leave it at that for now.

That yield aggregator’s APY looks pretty juicy, but once I clicked in and saw the contract was nested three layers deep, to be honest, I couldn’t even figure out who the counterparty was… Restaking is getting ridiculously layered now. Shared security sounds fancy, but put simply, it means staking my ETH with A, then staking it with B, then with C, with each layer taking a cut. The better the APY looks, the less willing I am to put serious money in. For now, I only dare put a small amount in to test it, with a hard stop-loss set so it exits automatically at the first sign of trouble. I can accept earning less profit, but I can’t have my principal trapped in a contract where I don’t even know which layer it’s in.
