I almost messed up just now: I hesitated when copying the address, and accidentally pasted that re-staking contract into the transfer box. Luckily, the wallet popped up a "Are you sure?" prompt, and I woke up... Anyway, when people get excited, they tend to click randomly.

The returns from LST/re-staking are, frankly, not from the sky: some are from the underlying staking consensus rewards, and most of the "bonuses" come from repeatedly packaging and selling the same trust—using it for security, liquidity, or incentives in other protocols. Of course, the money might be more, but the risks stack up too: contract issues, redemption queues/unpegging, penalties on re-staking, or even a service provider running away in the middle, leaving you very passive.

Recently, during airdrop season + point system, task platforms are even anti-witching, making farming feel like clocking in at work... People are more likely to authorize a bunch of random stuff just for that "extra point." My simple approach: sign less when possible, don’t give unlimited approval amounts, double-check addresses, and don’t stake sleepily. The yields look tempting, but don’t stake your sleep. That’s all for now.
