I almost got led astray by the “Interaction Tutorial” for the third time… To put it simply, the easiest way to get farmed from airdrops isn’t losing gas—it’s accidentally granting overly broad permissions with a shaky hand, and then not even checking the signature properly. Now I only have one principle: before every interaction, clear all wallet permissions first. If you can use it once, don’t grant unlimited access. Also, switch the RPC to one you’re familiar with—better to be slower than to use an untrustworthy one. There’s FOMO, sure, but I set a “daily budget” for myself: once I hit it, I stop. If I miss an airdrop, then I miss it. Compared to chasing airdrops, I’m more afraid of signature failures (it really would make me lose my mind).
Also, I’ve been seeing a lot of shouting about NFT royalties lately— the more they argue, the more it shows that balancing secondary liquidity and creator earnings is really hard… For someone like me, a small retail investor, I can only be even more cautious: don’t let your emotions push you into clicking random links. That’s it for now.
