Lately, I've been numb from repeatedly earning testnet points, clearly just practicing, but I’ve been forcing myself to think of it as “expected returns.”
Now I’ve set a very simple stop-loss for myself: once I start leveraging my wallet, scripts, or on-chain interactions just to boost my score—stop—pause for a day, review permissions and signature records, stop following tutorials on “AI Agent automatic scoring.”
Honestly, no matter how loud the narrative, no one will help you scrutinize the details of security; the more permissions you grant, the easier it is to run into issues.
The same applies to my position: testnet only takes up a small part of my effort. If I really want to invest money, I’ll go back to my old habits—diversify across chains, keep strategies loosely related, and don’t treat “points might be valuable” as a certainty.
Anyway, I’d rather have fewer points than have a bunch of unknown risks hanging on the chain.
That’s it for now.
