These days, I’ve been getting really annoyed with multi-chain wallets again: assets are spread across several chains and multiple apps, and while the total amount doesn’t look small, in practice I keep missing this and that. Anyway, I now stick to one principle: only keep “enough change” on each chain, and try to move the main funds back into the same stablecoin pool, instead of drifting around everywhere. Once a week, I take a screenshot of the balances (including chain name/address) for record, or else in a couple of weeks I won’t recognize my own holdings.
What I fear most isn’t slowness, but chaos — it’s okay to move or swap slowly, but if things get messy, it’s easy to double transfer, undercount fees, or even put cold funds into hot wallets.
By the way, the NFT royalty debate is getting heated, and it’s actually quite similar to liquidity pools: to make secondary markets more active, you want to reduce friction costs, but creators still need to earn a living… Neither side wants to lose. For now, I’ll just top up the gas on a few chains and see how it goes.
