Lately my wallet count keeps growing, and my assets get fragmented the way peanuts are in a late-night snack—I really don’t want to be reconciling accounts every day until past midnight. My clumsy solution is: keep only two chains for the ones I use regularly, and treat wallets on the other chains as “cold drawers.” Only when I really need them will I move funds over. Every time I transfer across chains, I also add a line in the remarks like “why I’m transferring, and what I’m getting ready to do,” otherwise I’ll forget what I was doing in a couple of days.

I also split positions by use: one address for perpetual margin, and one address for DeFi liquidity—don’t mix them together, so you don’t end up scrambling and clicking random authorizations when you’re in a hurry. By the way, recently the community has been arguing about the compliance boundaries around privacy coins and coin mixing. For my part, if I can avoid it, I’ll avoid it— the more complicated the transfer route gets, the more uneasy I feel. I just want peace of mind. If you don’t get the story behind it, fine—missing out isn’t a loss.
