I saw people jumping between several protocols every day to accumulate points, to be honest, it's a bit exhausting. Having more badges won't make your wallet thicker, but time really is gone.

Lately, I keep seeing RWA and U.S. Treasury yields being compared back and forth, and on-chain products are fiercely competing on APY. But social mining, in essence, is still an attention game — you think you're an early contributor, but they're counting your activity data.

My current rule is simple: automate what can be automated, verify what can be verified, don't blindly trust. As for identity layer stuff, it's not too late to jump in when there's an actual use case. After all, forking the code and running it once is more practical than any badge.
