Lately, I’ve been a bit anxious about taxes… To be blunt, I’m not afraid of paying—it’s just that I’m scared that by the end of the year, flipping through transaction records will make me doubt my life. Now I just save, every time I finish an interaction, the txhash, the time, the wallet, and the counterparty contract name (the kind I can understand) into a table; I also keep a screenshot. For anything related to airdrops, I tag it as “might this be considered income?” and leave it at that—at least then I’ll have something to refer to later.

On-chain lately has been all about modularization and the DA layer, and developers are excited, but users (like me) only care about one thing: is there another layer that needs to be accounted for… If you keep moving back and forth across bridges and the records get slightly interrupted, it becomes really hard to explain where the funds came from and where they went later. Anti–Sybil/anti-bot measures are getting stricter, so I can still grumble a bit—but this whole tax return thing really can’t be fudged. I can only be diligent early to avoid a meltdown at the end of the year.
