When faced with severe challenges, the sidechain solution (such as Night) adopted by ADA seems to alleviate pressure, but this "self-destructive" approach actually hides risks.
While sidechains can attract the attention of predators in the short term and temporarily shift threats, they are essentially draining the lifeblood of the ecosystem. Once this sacrifice becomes the norm, the overall health of the blockchain network will gradually deteriorate, potentially leading to a pathological cycle.
This is not a real solution; rather, it may accelerate the decline of the project. The key is to fundamentally strengthen the competitiveness of the main chain and the resilience of the ecosystem, rather than relying on temporary "stopping the bleeding" measures.

Sidechains are like drinking poison to quench thirst; it feels good in the short term, but it destroys in the long term.

To be honest, sidechains are like drinking poison to quench thirst; they provide short-term satisfaction but lead to long-term disaster.
ADA seems to be self-consuming right now; it really needs to work hard on optimizing the mainchain.
Sidechains cannot save the ecosystem; they only make people feel that the mainchain is not good enough.
This operation feels a bit rushed; it seems Cardano is being stubborn.
Rather than creating so many chains, it's better to solidify the mainchain; that's the right way to go.

The sidechains rescue play, to put it bluntly, is like drinking poison to quench thirst, thinking it can solve everything once and for all.
Cutting off an arm for short-term survival, in the end, the mainchain still has to die.
