Lately, I've been asked again by friends: should I run L2 or just stay honest on the mainnet? Honestly, it's about choosing a compromise between "cheap and smooth" and "peace of mind." My own approach is pretty simple: for daily small transactions and frequent operations, I use L2 to save gas and avoid feeling the pain every time I click; if I need to hold large positions long-term, change permissions, or move core assets, I still go back to the mainnet—slower and more expensive, but with lower risk of issues and less mental stress.



Recently, the testnet incentives and point-earning schemes have heated up again, and everyone is guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens… It’s both amusing and a bit frustrating to watch: on one hand, talking about long-termism, and on the other, fingers already clicking furiously. I now generally don’t force interactions just for the “possible airdrop,” preferring to think carefully about bridge, permission, and contract risks—doing fewer transactions is fine. After all, higher yield isn’t always better; being able to sleep peacefully is more important.
