Recently, I saw a bunch of people rushing into "interactions" until their hands went numb, and I actually started to want to slow down. Airdrops, to put it simply, are a game of chance: protocols want real users, you want guaranteed rewards, and the easiest to exploit in the end are actually those who "just launch without caring about anything."

My current approach is pretty simple: first look at parameters and risk boundaries, how contract permissions and vaults are managed, whether there are switches to easily change rules... understand as much as you can, at least don’t treat yourself as free liquidity. Interactions should also resemble normal usage: low frequency, small amounts, don’t break transactions just to increase the number of interactions, both Gas and mindset get burned out quickly.

These days, I’ve been discussing tax increases and compliance tightening/loosening in certain regions, and as deposit and withdrawal expectations change, FOMO becomes easier to trigger. Anyway, I just set a “maximum loss I can afford to pay as tuition,” if I don’t get it, I’ll just consider it saving trouble, for now.
