Lately, I've been really exhausted by gas fees, that feeling of "clicking the wallet and it just heartbeat once" on the mainnet... But honestly, some things still need to go back to the mainnet, especially for large transactions or when using established protocols, just for peace of mind. My compromise is pretty simple: for daily small interactions, I use L2 to keep the experience smooth and the trial-and-error costs low; if I need to hold assets long-term or perform sensitive operations like permissions or upgrades, I save up and wait for a low-gas period to do everything on the mainnet at once.



These days, I see the staking unlocks and token unlock calendars being repeatedly discussed as selling pressure, but I actually prefer not to move assets around too often. The combined fees and slippage from cross-chain transfers just add up, and in the end, all my anxiety is about "operational costs." Anyway, I’m more focused on choosing the "use case that suits me" rather than which chain is more legitimate... How do you usually allocate between the mainnet and L2? I’m still exploring.
