To be honest, I treat airdrop interactions as a “cost game” right now: first I calculate the Gas + the time—if it goes over my limit, I just give up. I’d rather miss out than get countered and have it all “siphoned off” from me. Once FOMO kicks in, I want to mash the contract button like crazy, but now I only pick two or three cheap chains and stick to a few fixed projects, doing small amounts in multiple rounds. Don’t turn your wallet behavior into an “airdrop show window” all at once—it just looks fake.

I’m not sure if this is the most optimal approach either, but at least I can keep my mindset under control: I don’t chase hot trends, I don’t add leverage, and I don’t force interactions just to grab screenshots. Lately there’s been plenty of talk about miners/validators taking too much, MEV cutting the line, and unfair ordering… Anyway, small retail profits are what get skimmed first. If you can avoid it, avoid it. If you can do it in batches, do it in batches—don’t treat yourself like free labor. That’s it for now.
