I used to get excited and try to complete tasks to earn points and badges, but now I’ve become more laid-back: attention is really a cost, and it’s also irreversible. Spending a whole night grinding just to get a screenshot of an “identity” — honestly, it’s pretty superficial. Recently, there’s been a lot of talk about social mining and fan tokens saying “attention is mining,” and I just frown — you’re mining your own time, not on-chain output.

My current approach is pretty simple: first, check the updates and security announcements to see if the points rules can change at any time, whether there’s a rollback, and if your wallet actions are too tightly bound; if I can review the code or contract, I’ll take a quick look to at least know what I’m signing. You can earn badges, but don’t empty your life for them… Anyway, I’d rather have fewer badges than be enslaved by “continuous check-ins.”
