Layer2 this thing I now treat as "everyday subway," the main network is "hailing a taxi." Small, frequent interactions, claiming airdrops and tasks, I drop L2, gas is cheap and the experience is smooth; if I really need to do large swaps, hold for a long time, or involve permissions/contract upgrades, I’d rather spend a bit more gas to go back to the main network, at least I feel more secure. Honestly, it’s not about trusting anyone, it’s about accounting: whether the gas saved can cover the potential pitfalls you might encounter.
Recently, the wave of AI Agents and automated trading has heated up again, with many people touting "fully automatic money-making," I just want to ask: have you given permissions? Have you revoked them? Don’t let the agent turn into "automatically clearing all your authorizations" later. My biggest fear isn’t losing money, but blindly handing out keys and thinking you’re improving efficiency. Anyway, my current compromise is: use L2 for experimenting, use the main network to sleep. That’s how it is for now.
