Lately I've been thinking about airdrop interactions, honestly just afraid of being front-run or missing out. My approach is pretty simple: only get involved with L2s that I actually use, first check if the fees and bridges are reliable, don't just throw together dozens of small transfers for "tasks," ending up paying all the fees and wasting time. Then slow down the pace, use it once every few days with a reasonable amount, which feels more like a real user than clicking furiously all night... Of course, it might not work, I don't know either. The turning point is, seeing developers get excited about modular and DA layer narratives, while users (including me) are completely confused, the more confused, the easier it is to FOMO; so now I’d rather miss out than become just an interaction tool, anyway, survive first and then see.
