It’s hot and humid outside, and the subway is still running late. My cold brew is almost out of bubbles… I also took a quick look at the blockchain; once the mainnet gas spiked, it was a bit discouraging. Put simply, ordinary people really don’t need to go headfirst and “hard fight” every single time. These days, I’m basically doing: small daily interactions, claiming airdrops, and making a few small swaps—then I move those things to L2 for a much smoother experience. But if it’s truly about large deposits and withdrawals, or contract permissions, I still go back to the mainnet the old-fashioned way, spend a bit more gas to buy peace of mind—after all, sleeping well matters more.

Lately, the wave of AI Agent and automated trading has been pretty hot too. In the group, they keep hyping “fully automated lying-back-and-earning,” day after day, and I’m just… well. Automation isn’t impossible, but if permissions are too broad, or you haven’t understood the contract clearly, it’s easy to turn into “automatically transferring your money away.” My own compromise is: use L2 for the experience, and use the mainnet for the base holdings. If you can set limits and split your wallets, then do it—don’t嫌 it’s too much trouble. Take a sip first, then hit the confirm button.
