Right now, it’s basically this: for small, frequent actions, I stick to L2; for large amounts and so I can sleep soundly, I go back to the mainnet. Either way, don’t argue with gas fees to the point where it affects your mindset. The L2 experience is definitely smooth—you just tap twice and it’s done. But I force myself to take one more look at the cross-chain/bridge route and the time when funds arrive, so I don’t save a few bucks on gas only to get stuck for half a day and feel worse. As for the mainnet—honestly, it’s expensive. For key actions like redemption and settlement, I’d rather spend a bit more to buy certainty. Lately, everyone has been comparing on-chain yield products by looking at RWA and U.S. Treasury yield rates; I’m also tempted. But the more something looks “stable,” the more you need to think clearly about whether you’re truly earning interest—or simply betting that the contract/bridge/redemption mechanisms won’t run into problems. In my limit-order practice… first get the execution quality figured out; it’s better than chasing after K-line movements.
