Lately, I've been getting itchy to participate in airdrops again, but I have one principle now: treat interactions as buying insurance, not as playing the lottery. Do what you can with the lowest cost, take it slow over a few days, don't authorize or sign everything all at once; for new protocols, first look at the contract and permissions, avoid unlimited authorization if possible. Anyway, I’d rather miss out than get rug-pulled once and have it cost me half a year. Seeing a bunch of AI Agents and automated trading tools that “scan the entire network for interactions” makes me pause for two seconds... Then I think about it and find it pretty funny—saving that little bit of time might actually lead to a bunch of security pitfalls. If I really want to participate, I’ll include it in my plan: set a budget, stop-loss, and exit conditions. FOMO, if you can endure it, will pass.
