Recently, I saw more news about cross-chain bridge hacks, and anyway, I’m even more cautious about “airdrop interactions” now... I used to be easily driven by FOMO, getting excited when I saw others sharing their eligibility, but it often ended up being a waste of time or I clicked on strange links and almost got hacked.
Now I’m used to: interacting is fine, but treat it as a “risk operation” first. Keep wallet layers clear, minimize permissions, revoke after use, keep the amount just enough for gas, and keep main assets safely stored in a cold wallet. Also, when oracles report abnormal prices and everyone says “wait for confirmation,” I’ve learned to do the same—prefer to be a bit slow rather than risking a panic that could cause a disaster just to grab a quick token. Forget it, if an airdrop happens, it happens; if not, it’s not worth risking my life over.
