Recently, another batch of new L1/L2 projects has been rolling out incentives to pull in TVL. In the group chat, the old-timers have been complaining about “digging, selling, and withdrawing,” but I’m actually more annoyed by my own wallet: my main chain, layer two, and all sorts of small accounts—the assets are scattered like cookie crumbs. Later, I just made a rule for myself: keep only long-term positions in one main wallet. For day-to-day interactions and farming/claiming incentives, use a “dirty wallet.” Every week, on one fixed day, consolidate the scattered balances back to the main chain/stablecoins—no impulsive decisions.

Also, don’t be lazy with bookkeeping. I use a spreadsheet to track the gas reserved for each chain, any LPs/loans held elsewhere, and authorization records—otherwise, when the market moves, you’ll realize you can’t even remember where you have positions… To put it plainly: fragmentation isn’t the scary part. What’s scary is having no discipline and always wanting to open a few more lines.
