Recently, people keep asking me: how can a newbie tell if a project is "reliable or not"? I’m too lazy to listen to stories, so I look at three things first: whether there are actually people working on GitHub (don't just look at stars, check recent commits and if issues are being responded to), don’t just screenshot the audit report cover, flip to “Fixed/Unfixed/Out of Scope,” some risks are written very plainly but people choose to turn a blind eye… Then, check permission upgrades: who is signing, how many signatures are needed, is there a delay, can you change your wallet rules with one click—frankly, this is more important than slogans.

Recently, there’s been talk about regional tax increases and compliance tightening and loosening, causing deposit and withdrawal expectations to shift, and people’s emotions follow suit. I actually prefer to look at on-chain execution: if someone is doing this long-term, permissions and processes will become more and more strict, not more relaxed for easier maintenance.

I still believe: putting power into multi-signature and time locks is better than writing hope into a white paper.
