Are you also like this? I originally wanted to complete the final interaction on the mainnet, but when I open my wallet and see the gas fees, it immediately discourages me… Right now, my basic approach is: for daily activity and testing features, I just use L2—it’s cheaper and faster. After all, most projects care about what you’ve “kept doing consistently,” not how much you’ve “burned.” And when there’s really a must-do action on the mainnet (for example, some contracts only recognize the mainnet, or the bridge/minting step), I pick a time when there are fewer people and finish everything in one go. I’d rather save up 3–5 steps and click them together than go in and out back and forth.
Recently, there have been upgrades/maintenance on mainstream chains again, and everyone in the group has been guessing whether the ecosystem will “move.” To be blunt, I don’t bet on migration rumors—I only care whether it can be verified: whether there’s an official new entry point, whether the contract addresses have changed, and whether the tasks are clearly specified on-chain. The compromise is one sentence: stay active in cheaper places, and in expensive places only do the “necessary and verifiable” key actions. That’s how I’ll do it for now.
