Lately, I’ve been stuck deciding whether to go with L2 or the mainnet… to put it simply, it’s “save gas and hassle” versus “a sense of security.” The L2 experience really is smooth—you just tap twice and you’re done—but right now I only use it as a “daily account.” Small swaps, claiming airdrops, and testing new protocols all get moved there. When the balance reaches a certain amount, I manually withdraw it back to the mainnet, so I don’t end up dozing off in a bridge.

AI agents and automated trading have also been pretty noisy lately. A lot of people talk like you just press a button and you can win while you lie back, but I’m more concerned that it helps you “auto-sign + auto-route,” and people can easily get caught by bad routing—lazy behavior is exactly what those setups love. My compromise is kind of old-school: I’d rather spend an extra minute first limiting the approval amount (no unlimited approve), and then double-check whether the route is taking some weird pools. If it’s a big amount, I’ll do it on the mainnet slowly—yeah, it’s more expensive, but at least I feel at ease. Anyway, I have no insider info; all I can do is reproduce the steps a few more times and pay less tuition.
