Recently, there has been a surge of social mining, points, and badges, but after clicking around all day, it’s gone... Frankly, it feels like working overtime for oneself, and I thought it was about “building identity.” What I care more about now is the signal: what kind of habits do the project teams want you to develop—daily check-ins? Frequent interactions? Bringing people into groups? The more it resembles an assembly line, the more cautious I become.

AI agents and automated trading are also very popular, but to me, it looks like two groups of people: one busy promoting narratives, and the other focused on permissions, signatures, and contract upgrades. Take what points you can, don’t spend your time and wallet on badges, take it slow, there’s no rush.
