These days, parallelization/sharding is heating up again. The narrative is indeed lively, but the more I watch, the more it seems like "loud engine noise doesn't mean you can go far"... Basically, it all boils down to two things: where to store assets more safely, and whether there's a way out. Especially now, as everyone complains about miner/validator income, MEV front-running, and unfair ordering, I'm actually more concerned about whether my funds on the chain will get trapped, whether bridges will have issues, and whether liquidity will suddenly dry up.

A simple step I’m willing to take is: before cross-chain transfers or entering new protocols, I first run a small amount through a complete exit route (enter → swap → exit → return to main chain), even if it costs a bit more in fees and time. It’s troublesome, but at least when something really goes wrong, I won’t be stuck with "only in, no out." Anyway, I’m not afraid of earning less; I’m afraid of getting stuck.
