Lately, the airdrop season has heated up again. The task platforms are making a fuss, acting like a witch hunt, and the points system has turned earning tokens into "clocking in for work." The competition has gotten so intense that I don't even want to click anymore. My approach is pretty simple: first, clearly outline the acceptable costs (time + gas + risk), and stop if it exceeds that; keep wallets separate, authorize only what’s necessary, and revoke permissions after completing tasks—don't expose your main wallet just for a few points. That said, completely avoiding interaction can indeed cause you to miss opportunities, so now I prefer to "pick a few protocols I understand and am willing to use long-term" and use them gradually. I’d rather have fewer, more stable options than chase hot trends. When FOMO hits, I take a sip of water first, then come back to click the confirm button.
