At some point, I had to be honest with myself about how I think about risk when trading.

I used to focus mainly on slippage and fees. Those things matter, but they are not the full picture.

Reya @reya_xyz changed that for me. As a based rollup, it removes a layer of uncertainty by anchoring execution directly to Ethereum security. There is no hidden control over settlement and no sudden rule changes.

From my perspective, that shifts where real risk lives. It is less about small trading costs and more about trusting the venue itself.

When execution is predictable and security is inherited from Ethereum, trading feels clearer and more controlled. That change in mindset is why Reya stands out to me.
