Just now, my phone popped up another red dot, reminding me that an L2 bridge contract is upgrading… I’m trying to save on gas, but I’m also afraid I’ll get lazy and step into a trap—the on-call cat’s life’s not worth it.



So for me, the compromise is pretty cowardly: for small, frequent actions (swapping coins, doing a small task), I send them to the L2—the experience really is smoother. But the moment it’s a “relocation-level” transfer, or anything that requires locking funds for a long time, I’d rather go back to the mainnet and pay a bit more gas to buy myself some peace of mind. At least the rules are more familiar, and there are fewer landmines. Especially lately, with new chains launching incentives to pull in TVL, I can totally relate to what veteran users complain about—“pulling rewards, then extracting/selling.” It’s lively while it lasts, but liquidity can walk away at any moment. Don’t try to scrimp on that bridge step.

Anyway, I’ll just remember two things: if you can delay the transfer, delay it; if you can split it up, split it. And when you see notifications about upgrades or permission changes, stop first—take a sip of water—then decide.
