Last night I rechecked everything until nearly 2 a.m., and the more I looked, the more I felt that airdrops are the easiest thing to make people both greedy and worn out. To be blunt, more interaction isn’t always better—especially those schemes that immediately ask you to review and sign off on a whole batch of permissions, then guide you to “speed up privilege escalation.” My first reaction now is: stop for a moment—don’t let them “anti-scam” you.

I also fell into the trap of “if you don’t understand it, don’t move”: at the time, everyone in the group was rushing to a new protocol. I clicked in, and the page was full of flashy buttons, and I couldn’t make sense of the signature content. I was thinking, “It’s just one more step…” Later I managed to hold back and exit. The next day, I saw someone had granted permissions that weren’t revoked cleanly, and they ended up getting swept. That moment, I was genuinely glad I was cautious.

My approach now is pretty simple and a bit “basic”: use a small account and small amounts to test first, approve as few permissions as possible, and once I’m done, conveniently turn off/revoke those permissions right away. If the steps are too convoluted or the explanation isn’t clear, I’d rather miss out. Recently, people have been talking about certain regions tightening taxes and compliance and then loosening them again—once expectations for deposits and withdrawals shift, everyone gets more anxious and more likely to chase “free money.” But the more it’s like that, the more we shouldn’t hand the pace to our emotions… Anyway, I’ll focus on getting through it first.
