I'm now evaluating whether a protocol is "trustworthy or not," and the first thing I don't look at is how loud they shout on Twitter... but rather I check GitHub: who made the latest commit, is it just one person making frantic changes late at night, are there people actually reporting bugs in the issues, and does the testing seem proper. Don't just look at the logo in the audit report; I directly search for pages like "Known Issues/Unresolved," and many projects are quite honest: they just leave certain risks unresolved.

I also pay more attention to upgrades and multi-signature setups—whether upgrades can be done casually, if only a few people can make decisions, and whether there's a timelock (at least giving me some reaction time). Honestly, I prefer slower interactions so I don't treat my wallet like a ticket just because I got excited.

Recently, with extreme funding rates, the group has started arguing again about "reversing or continuing to pump the bubble," and I tend to get more itchy myself... So I set a simple rule for myself: before placing an order, I first check the contract/permissions/audit, even just 10 minutes of review helps. Keep my mind cool before deciding; at least one less impulsive move means one less tuition paid.
