Lately, I really don't want to confirm on the mainnet... It's not fear of losing money, it's just that the gas fee makes my hand tremble.
My current compromise is: large/important operations still on the mainnet for peace of mind; daily interactions and tasks are offloaded to L2, to keep the process smooth.
If I really need to record on-chain, I’ll choose a low-traffic time to go back to the mainnet and make a quick update.
Honestly, it’s “prioritize user experience, with safety as a backup.”
Developers are excited about modularization and the DAO layer narratives, but as an ordinary user, I only care about two things:
Don’t let the bridge fail, and don’t get stuck with my funds halfway through.
Anyway, I’m not in a rush to farm tokens; I’d rather wait a few more days and pay a little more tuition, to understand the rules and boundaries before increasing my position.
That’s it for now.
