Recently, there has been a lot of talk about concurrency, sharding, and various stories of "throughput taking off," which are quite lively. But honestly, I care more about two things: how assets are protected and how to exit if something goes wrong. No matter how fast the code is, if permissions are a mess, contracts can be changed at will, and the vault keys are in one person's hands, that's just saving hackers time.

AI agents and automated trading are the same; the more seamless the interaction, the more you need to carefully examine details like authorization, limits, and revocability. Otherwise, just clicking one button, and later you won't even know where the money went.
Anyway, when I see new projects, I first ask about multi-signature, delays, emergency switches, and exit paths. If they can't answer, I put it aside for now... As for who is just talking about narratives and who is actually concerned about security, you can tell for yourselves.
