Lately, someone has been talking about airdrops again, and I get tempted too, but now I basically don’t dare to "interact on every chain" like I used to. Honestly, after being exploited a few times, people become timid... Especially with cross-chain bridges having issues recently, it’s really discouraging. Once the bridge has a problem, no matter how diligent you are, it’s useless. My approach is more relaxed: first, check if the project’s recent updates are consistent and whether the smart contracts have been scrutinized; choose interactions that have low costs and require few actions, don’t turn yourself into a fee-paying bot just to increase your activity count. Also, don’t over-leverage your holdings; use a small account if possible, don’t treat your main wallet as a target. Regarding oracles and those abnormal quotes, when everyone is in the “waiting for confirmation” atmosphere, I actually think that’s correct. Better to be a bit slow than to rush in at the most excited moment. Anyway, what I fear most now isn’t missing out, but waking up to find I’ve spent the night just providing data for others. That’s all for now.
