Recently, checking the APY of yield aggregators is a bit like admiring a cake in a shop window under bright lights—yes, it’s pretty, but I’d rather look at the kitchen. Once I click into the transaction records and scroll through them, I find that the source of the yield often isn’t really about “how strong the protocol itself is.” Instead, it’s usually a detour: first you authorize the aggregator, then you dump the funds into some strategy contract, and only at the end do you have to peel back who the counterparty is, layer by layer, following the call chain… Sometimes there’s even a little afterthought tucked in—like temporary whitelists, or upgradeable contracts. In plain terms, APY is just the outcome; the risk grows in the process.

Someone in the group screenshots an on-chain tagging tool and draws a conclusion from it—I understand wanting to save time, but haven’t we also been complaining lately that tagging/data tools are lagging behind, and may even mislead people? If you really want to confirm, you still need to look at the authorization trails and the actual contract interactions; don’t put too much trust in “who it’s marked as belonging to.” I’ll leave it like this for now—keep looking for evidence slowly, no rush to label or pass judgment.
