Lately, I've been back to interacting with airdrops again. I’m the type who "can do but doesn’t chase": first checking where the project’s funds come from, whether the contract is genuinely new, and if permissions are excessive. If I’m not confident, I just pass by. Anyway, the most common way to get burned is by not revoking permissions, signing without reading, or falling for fake frontends that lead you astray... After each interaction, I usually revoke all permissions as a matter of routine, leaving only a small amount in my wallet as a "taste test," and transfer more only when I really need to use it.
Recently, everyone’s been complaining about MEV and unfair ordering, and I feel the same: you think you’re just interacting, but sometimes it’s like you’re contributing to someone else’s fuel costs. Honestly, don’t turn yourself into a guaranteed loss machine just for the "possible airdrop."
My friend even joked, "You’re just gossiping about addresses again," and I said, "You don’t get it, I’m just saving time and money..." Forget it, I’d rather miss out than chase after customer service crying afterward. That’s all for now.
