Lately, airdrops and interactions have become popular again. I would say my mindset has "updated": in the past, seeing others share screenshots would make me itchy to click everything; now I pause for two seconds first and ask myself, "Am I testing a project, or am I giving data/authorization to the other side?" Anyway, I won't sign signatures I don't understand, and I won't give permissions I don't know about. Especially those that require full token authorization right away—it's really a bit scary.
Recently, hardware wallets are out of stock, and phishing links are everywhere... Honestly, FOMO makes it easy to overlook these things. My approach is pretty simple: only use official portals, bookmark frequently used sites, and before interacting, layer the assets in my wallet. I keep a "small wallet" for testing, and after interaction, I revoke all authorizations. I don't know if there will be airdrops, but at least I won't get drained and lose sleep over it. Multi-signature isn't slow; it's about keeping mistakes out the door. The same goes for personal wallets—being a bit slower isn't shameful.
