Last night really gave me a scare: I accidentally pasted an extra space when copying the address, and before I could clearly see the wallet popup, I clicked confirm... Luckily, the amount was small, and the on-chain prompt looked suspicious, so I quickly withdrew. Now, when I do airdrop interactions, I have one principle: don’t think about “going all-in to grab big profits,” first understand the path and slippage, check if the routing is overly complicated if using aggregation, limit the authorization if possible, and if there are multiple interactions, it’s better to spread them out over a few days.
To prevent front-running, it boils down to two points: don’t sign randomly, don’t rush. When I see “last window period” or “miss it and wait a year,” in the group, I get annoyed—it's similar to extreme funding rates, everyone’s guessing whether the market will reverse or continue to bubble. The more lively it gets, the easier it is to be manipulated. I now only play with protocols I understand; any unfamiliar links are considered phishing, and if I’m not confident, I just skip it. Eating less and sleeping well is more important.
