Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with testing network points. It was supposed to be just practice, but once I start "expecting" something, it becomes easier to get carried away: opening multiple accounts, granting permissions everywhere, forgetting to turn off scripts... Honestly, at this point, I need to set a stop-loss for myself.
My current stop-loss is pretty simple: at most 30-60 minutes of messing around with each test network, then revoke permissions, clear cache, and keep only enough Gas in my wallet for transactions; if something requires unlimited permissions, I’d rather skip it and come back later. I treat this as a "patch" for my wallet—small fixes only, don’t dig the permission holes wider just for points.
Recently, I’ve been comparing RWA, US bond yields, and on-chain yield products more often. The more I hear, the more cautious I become: regardless of the returns or points, the risk exposure is real. Don’t treat “it’s just a testnet” as a get-out-of-jail-free card. For now, I’ll keep revoking permissions until my fingers get sore.
