Just saw modular blockchains and DA layers trending again. Honestly, the developers are chatting so excitedly—I, who mainly builds interactions, feel a bit confused. I’m afraid of FOMO, and I’m also afraid of getting sniped. So I decided to calm down first.



I’ve stepped into traps myself. In the past, whenever I saw a new L2 or an airdrop campaign, I’d rush in. In the end, I spent on gas, did the tasks, and still got absolutely nothing. Worse, I even got sniped. Now I’ve learned: first check whether the contract is open-source, then look for posts from others about the traps they fell into, make sure the costs aren’t a guaranteed hard loss, and only then start.

To put it plainly, airdrops aren’t a get-rich-quick overnight thing—they’re a probability game. Keep your mindset steady and don’t stake your entire savings on it. That’s more important than anything. Don’t believe any “guaranteed” mystical nonsense—those are just schemes meant to trick people into getting hyped. I often forget too, but whenever I feel like rushing in, I remind myself: do the math first, then act. If you get it wrong, treat it as tuition—write it out publicly so everyone else can avoid the same pitfalls.

Anyway, for now it’s just: slow down, verify more, and don’t let the hype pull you off course. You might think, “If I miss this chance, it’s gone,” but later you’ll realize the next opportunity is always there.
