Someone asked me how to do airdrop interactions without getting front-run or FOMO-ing too much. I usually just say: treat yourself as "miner/validator bait" before acting... Recently, everyone’s complaining about MEV and unfair ordering, which isn’t without reason. You think you’re exploiting, but actually you’re sending gas and slippage to others.

My current approach is pretty simple: first, check if the project has real users and funds (not just TVL built up from incentives), then look at concentration of holdings and unlock schedules. If it’s too crowded, I’d rather not ride that train. For interactions, set a budget cap—stop when you’re out of funds, don’t add more; if you can use the same wallet habitually, don’t open a bunch of accounts randomly, since the rules for front-running are getting stricter. Finally, when I see “interaction tutorials” flooding everywhere, I stay calm—probably it’s already too late. Oh well.
