I tried once to move my commonly used wallet operations from the mainnet to an L2, and my first impression was: smoothness is truly smooth, just a tap to confirm, and the gas fee isn't a concern. But I was quickly pulled back to reality—when crossing back to the mainnet, that little bit of "time and patience saved" is handed right back. During the confirmation wait on the bridge, it's easy to start overthinking.



Especially recently, everyone has been talking about staking unlocks and token unlock schedules, basically out of fear of selling pressure. The illusion of the mainnet being "more expensive but more reliable" becomes even stronger; L2s are like living on the city outskirts—cheaper commuting, but you have to remember how to get back to the city.

My current compromise is: for small, frequent daily interactions, use L2; if I need to hold long-term or don’t want to keep switching back and forth, I just stick to the mainnet and relax. Experience and security—ultimately, you have to choose whichever helps you sleep better.
