Last night, I got curious again and checked out a few LST/re-staking pages.

I was planning to casually throw in some funds to earn a bit of yield, but then I thought about having to cross back and forth, waiting in queues, and started sneezing at the gas fees (and all kinds of transaction fees)...
Not to mention that recently, the testnet incentives and points system have become popular again, and the group is guessing every day whether the mainnet will issue tokens, which makes me a bit tempted but also afraid of being exploited in return.

To put it simply, most of the returns don’t fall from the sky:
Some come from the basic interest of staking itself,
more come from people willing to pay for “security/validation services,”
plus project teams lock you in with points/rebates.

The risks mostly stem from these areas:
If you stack your funds across more protocols, a contract issue, parameter change, or a problem with the re-staking layer can trigger a chain reaction;
and once the points’ expected value falls short, liquidity can vanish faster than I can close the page.

Anyway, I’m only testing with small amounts now.
Only consider bulk staking on L2 if I can do it all at once,
don’t want to be a fee-paying fool for just a few points of yield.
