Recently, I've seen a bunch of people talking about LST/re-staking "additional layers of yield," and I'm just an onlooker, but I can't help but ask: where does the money come from... Honestly, it's either taking on additional risks or selling the same security multiple times. The returns from LSTs can still be understood—on-chain staking rewards plus liquidity premiums; re-staking is more like using your "credit" to back other services, and if something goes wrong, don't expect a decent exit. Cross-chain bridges are frequently hacked, and when oracles glitch, everyone just waits for confirmation—at these times, you realize that the so-called yield is actually just using uncertainty as fuel. Anyway, I look at projects first for permissions and upgradability—who can change parameters, where's the emergency switch, and if the proof chain isn't complete, I just assume they're joking. That's all for now.
