Recently, everyone has been hyping up AI Agents for fully automated on-chain interactions.
Honestly, I find it quite tempting, but to be frank, many steps still require human oversight: once you give too much authority or credit limit, a contract just needs a new disguise to turn you into an ATM;
Then there are trading parameters—slippage, deadline, routing… Sometimes, Agents will make reckless concessions just to "close the deal," and MEV bots don’t play fair—they target these soft spots.
And there's that atmosphere of “unlock calendar causing anxiety and selling pressure,” where Agents see emotional indicators and suddenly chase or dump the market.
If you’re not watching, by the next morning, all that’s left is a message saying “Execution optimized.”
My current low-effort way to avoid impulsive trades: first, leave the trade signing window for two minutes, check if gas prices are suddenly spiking or if the mempool is crowded, then ask myself:
Is this trade going to kill me if I don’t do it?… If not, forget it, just leave it for now.
