These past two days, I’ve seen a bunch of people going crazy interacting for airdrops again, and I’m honestly a little annoyed by this “if I don’t do it, I’ll lose out” feeling. Put simply, the most common thing behind anti-rug isn’t the project doing something malicious—it’s you treating your wallet like a game account, clicking random approvals, randomly going into phishing sites, and using the same addresses everywhere so you leave trails everywhere. My approach is rather basic: set aside a separate small wallet, keep the amounts small, and only do interactions that you can clearly explain to yourself; revoke permissions after you’re done, leave fewer on-chain records, and don’t sell your sense of security just for a few check-ins.
Recently, RWA, Treasury-bond yield, and on-chain yield products are always being compared, and that’s exactly why I’m more on guard: the more “stable” something’s returns look, the easier it is for people to relax their checks. Airdrops are the same—don’t treat them like a paycheck; at most, treat them like a raffle. If you really want to participate, set a limit for yourself: how much gas you spend in a day at most—if you exceed it, stop…don’t let FOMO do your risk management for you.
