Recently, I’ve been keeping an eye on projects that put RWA on-chain, and the more I look, the more it smells like smoke: a lot of the “liquidity” on the chain is just for show. When it really comes time to redeem, they start scrutinizing the fine print—T+N, limits, queues, and pausing if there’s a “market abnormality”… To put it simply, what you’ve bought might be a very good-looking certificate, not a ticket that you can turn back into cash anytime. I even saw a few addresses going back and forth; you pull up the charts and it looks lively, but the net inflow isn’t much—honestly, I got amused by how paranoid I was.

In contrast, Layer 2 is still busy trading blows over TPS and subsidies. No matter how loud the arguing gets, it doesn’t change one thing: how well the exit/withdrawal channel is written matters more than whether the entry button is flashy. What I’ve learned isn’t just tactics, but to treat the redemption terms as if they were the main chain.
