A few days ago, I saw a bunch of tutorials about "airdrops just by interacting," and I was itching to jump in... Later, I remembered the last time I didn't understand and just forced my way through: a new chain's small protocol, with a flashy interface, I didn't even look closely at the permissions and just clicked, and as a result, there was a fake coin in my wallet for no reason, almost led me to sign a bigger authorization, so I guess I was in the pre-attack phase. Now I’m very cautious: if I don’t understand it, I won’t touch it, better to miss out.
Recently, the staking/sharing security approach has been noisy about "nested" strategies, basically earning yield on yield sounds great, but the risks also stack up pretty quickly. My current interaction rules are three: small accounts with small amounts, revoke permissions after use, and use scripts to catch a few event logs first to see if there are strange transfers or infinite approvals. When FOMO hits, I go to pet cats... no, I mean, check logs, first calm myself down for two minutes.
