Lately, I've been a bit emotional about browsing on-chain data: everyone sees an "arbitrage opportunity" and rushes in, but actually, most of the time you're just the piece of meat in someone else's sandwich... Transaction fees, slippage, prioritizing bundling everything together—ultimately, the ones who profit are the ones who run faster, not me clicking the confirm button.



The same goes for the incentive wave on the testnet; everyone starts guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens once the points expectations rise. I actually want to slow down: first, understand what the interaction is really doing, and don't authorize a bunch of strange contracts just for a few points. Honestly, being a bit slow isn't shameful; at least it won't easily send you off to become "transaction fees." Now, I prefer to make fewer transactions, do it in batches, limit slippage—if I can avoid chasing, I avoid chasing. For now, that's enough.
