Lately, I’ve been earning testnet points so obsessively that I’m starting to feel a bit dazed. I initially just wanted to practice and earn a little, but then someone in the group mentioned “maybe an airdrop this round,” and my mindset immediately shifted from practicing to expectation. My hands started to itch: connecting everywhere, signing everywhere. Honestly, once you think “If I don’t do it, I’ll miss out,” it’s time to set a stop-loss for yourself—like limiting the number of new sites you connect to each day, and stopping once your signing quota is used up. It’s better to earn fewer points than to treat your wallet like a trash can.

In fact, incidents like cross-chain bridge thefts or oracle errors aren’t just happening on major mainnet projects; testnets are more like wildlife parks… I now tend to wait for “confirmation” consensus, waiting for others to stumble first. Anyway, I always use a dedicated isolated wallet, check permissions, avoid unlimited approvals, and prefer upgradeable setups. When I get the itch, I hold back—don’t risk losing the known security just for an unknown “possibility.”
