I used to basically stick to the mainnet, thinking the structure was the most stable and “don’t get fancy”… but now it really doesn’t work that way. The moment gas spikes, I start hesitating to place orders—my mindset gets completely carried away by the fees.



My compromise approach is kind of old-fashioned: I first route most operations through L2, so the experience feels smoother and the trial-and-error cost is lower. If I really need to do big rebalancing trades or hold positions long-term, then I still go back to the mainnet for a one-shot execution—yeah, it’s expensive, but it feels solid.

I used to have quite a bit of faith in the tagging systems of those on-chain data tools, but now that I’m seeing everyone complain about “lagging / being misled,” it’s kind of snapped me awake. Anyway, I treat them as a reference, not a navigation guide. In the end, I still look at the price structure and my own risk management.

Occasionally on weekends, when I get impulsive and want to degenerate, I just take a small amount and play on L2. If I lose, it’s not enough to keep me up at night.
