Lately, I've been getting a bit tempted by testnet incentives and the points system again. Honestly, it's just because I'm afraid of missing out on a fair distribution this time. I know for sure that no one can predict whether the mainnet will actually issue tokens or not, but seeing others share interaction screenshots makes me think: what if...
My current approach is pretty simple: first, I look over the protocol parameters and risk boundaries, especially permissions, pause switches, and whether rules can be changed arbitrarily; then I set a limit for myself—try at most twice, and within a certain timeframe. I’d rather earn a little less than mess up my wallet trying to complete tasks and turn it into a trash heap. Also, I don’t chase after every point; the most comfortable way to avoid over-interacting is to let yourself get more engaged as you go, only to find out later that changing the rules makes it a hassle to even exit. Anyway, I’d rather miss out than have my data used as filler... that’s how I see it for now.
