Lending and borrowing, I’m now focusing on one thing: how many steps are left before liquidation. When it really gets to “three steps away from the red line,” I usually don’t bet on a rebound; I do two things first: either add some collateral (prefer to have a smaller position) or directly repay part of the loan to widen the margin. Don’t wait until only one step is left to tinker, because on-chain congestion and rising fees can cause chaos and make accidents most likely…
There’s also a small habit: review all authorizations in advance, go through the frequently used addresses and repayment paths to confirm, so that when it’s time to operate, no strange signature pops up and makes me hesitate. Recently, everyone’s been talking about testnet points and whether the mainnet will issue tokens or not. Honestly, the more hype there is around these expectations, the less I want to push the safety margin too thin; anyway, staying alive is the most important.
