Today I almost cried from my own stupidity again... I was flipping through the lending dashboard until my eyes blurred, and I casually clicked on a link to “Claim Airdrops/Subsidy Interests.” The page looked just like the real one, and I almost entered my seed phrase. Honestly, seed phrases are like a full set of bank card + password + SMS verification; legitimate projects never ask you to hand them over. Anyone asking for it is just after your wallet.
And the signature authorization is pretty shady too. Many times, you think you're just logging in, but one click actually gives unlimited access. By the time you realize, your positions have already been drained, and the liquidation cascade hits you hard. My two red lines now are: never input seed phrases on strangers’ sites, and never sign “unreadable” stuff on unfamiliar platforms. I’d rather pay a bit more Gas to revoke permissions first.
Recently, everyone’s been complaining about the “queueing to earn” system for validators/MEV, and I’m annoyed too. But even if it’s unfair, it’s still better than handing over your keys… Anyway, I’ve separated my frequently used addresses and kept my cold wallet untouched. The anxiety is there, but I won’t make it easier for phishing scams.
