Lately I've been struggling again with airdrop interactions: afraid of missing out if I don't do it, but doing too much feels like working for the project and getting countered... My current approach is pretty simple: first, see if the team/product looks like it can survive, don't just go through all the chains right away. For example, last night I tried on Arbitrum, made a small swap with 0.003 ETH, then conveniently revoked the unlimited allowance in the authorization, just to feel more at ease.
And also, don’t get caught up in the “interaction count” hype, because no one really knows how the final rules will be written. Recently, I’ve seen everyone complain about validator/miner income and MEV front-running, honestly, retail investors are really just trying to grab opportunities in the cracks... So I prefer to do fewer, multiple, slow interactions—don’t rush to add positions just for a screenshot. If you really want to participate, treat it like browsing an on-chain exhibition, stay a little longer on what looks good, that’s it for now.
