Lately I’ve been getting a bit too wrapped up in刷 testnet points. I originally told myself it was just practice for the feel, but the more I刷, the more it started to resemble “expected returns,” and I became reluctant to stop. My stop-loss is kind of crude: I first set a hard cap for myself—like the maximum gas I’ll spend today, the maximum number of times I’ll approve/sign, and the maximum number of plugins I’ll install. Once I reach those limits, I close the webpage. I’d rather earn less than let my wallet habits get ruined.
Then, for any new project, it’s always a fresh secondary account plus a cold email. If I can help it, I avoid granting token/contract authorizations—if I truly have to approve, I make sure to revoke it the next day.
The key shift is this: don’t put too much faith in on-chain tools and the tagging system. Haven’t people been complaining lately about lag—sometimes even being misled? So when I see “Safe/Flagged,” I only treat it as a reference. What matters most is reviewing each time what I clicked and what I signed… In any case, if I don’t get the most points, it hurts for at most one day, but if I get phished once, it could hurt for a long time.
