These days, someone was talking about airdrop interactions being "anti-snipe," and I’m a bit conflicted: not participating might mean missing out, but doing too much feels like giving projects free stress testing… Honestly, I’m now more focused on the mechanism, not the story. First, clarify the rules: does the project reward "genuine utility," or does it reward "number of transactions / amount of money"? If it’s the latter, I’d rather avoid it, and not have a bunch of alt accounts flying around, ending up with a fake on-chain profile in one glance.
And recently, everyone’s been complaining about miner/validator income and MEV front-running, which I also feel strongly about: you think you’re interacting, but you might actually be making a sandwich filling for others… So I now prefer low-frequency, dispersed timing, and avoid crowding the same path during peak hours. Use limit orders/protection when possible, don’t chase FOMO blindly.
That’s it for now. Tonight, I’ll review the documents and incentive designs of the protocols I want to interact with recently, and also jot down the risk points in a memo.
