Recently, I saw news about cross-chain bridges being hacked again, and honestly I feel quite calm about it, even more convinced: don’t treat airdrop interactions like you’re a “project employee.”
My current approach is pretty cautious: I keep a small budget, choose familiar chains, and before signing, I double-check the permissions, avoiding unlimited authorization if possible—anyway, taking it slow won’t kill me.
Once, I encountered a situation where the oracle price was extremely off, and the group was all rushing to “buy the dip.”
I didn’t understand what was happening, so I didn’t act. I waited half an hour, and suddenly everyone started saying “wait for confirmation”…
It turned out to be an anomaly.
At that moment, I realized that not participating doesn’t mean missing out; sometimes it’s about avoiding a blow.
Basically, anti-sniping measures are: don’t amplify the risk just for a potential airdrop; if you feel FOMO, go for a walk, then come back and confirm.
That’s all for now.
