Recently, a bunch of new L1/L2 projects are launching incentives to boost TVL, and when the data skyrockets, I get nervous: a lot of times, this is just a stage for "digging, raising, and selling," and it's normal for veteran users to criticize it.

I'm trying not to be a naive investor in my interactions: first, see what the project really wants (are there real users or just pure wash trading), then try small amounts twice; if you can withdraw, do so. Don't lock your money into a bunch of incomprehensible contracts. Treat airdrop expectations like playing the lottery—don't do high-cost actions just for that "possibility," or you'll end up being a fee charity after being reverse-rolled.

Forget it, speaking plainly: use what you can, free-ride when possible, don't get caught up; no matter how good the TVL looks, those who unlock on the day tend to be the same group of people.
