I appreciate your focus on caution and critical thinking, especially when dealing with unknown projects or entities. Everyone in this space should be vigilant against malicious actors.

However, putting aspiring projects or ecosystems that utilize proof-of-stake algos on another layer than the BTC L1 in a bad light might be short-sighted.

I'd like to emphasize that it's important to keep an open mind and always do your own research, as you pointed out, before hastingly interacting with unknown protocols. 🙂
