That really gave me a scare just now: testing on the test network and doing some interactions, I accidentally copied the address with an extra digit, and I almost clicked confirm on the wallet popup... Luckily, I’m used to glancing at the route and the final receiving address first, or else the “practice” could have turned into an accident.
To put it simply, right now with test network points, everyone talks about practicing, but deep down they’re calculating expectations. Once you get carried away, you’ll treat time, Gas, and approvals as sunk costs and keep adding more. My own stop-loss rules are twofold: 1) If I need to repeatedly approve or give unlimited approval, I stop immediately; 2) If I can’t understand it at a glance or need to set a very high slippage to complete the transaction, I’d rather miss out. Anyway, points can’t be withdrawn (at least not openly), so don’t treat yourself as a liquidity donor.
Recently, AI Agents and automated trading have been hyped up quite a bit, but I’m more worried about this: no matter how fast the scripts run, making one mistake with the address or signing a malicious approval is enough to make you suffer. First, figure out if you can safely exit, then talk about expectations.
