Lol, every time Gas goes up I start researching L2, and then when I finally switch over, the market has already run. This round is really getting hit on both ends. Honestly, ordinary people don’t need to overthink it. Doing real day-to-day operations on L2 can save a lot—anyway, I’m the type with an itch to tinker, so I throw all my perp trades and swaps onto Layer 2. I keep mainnet for when there’s a big amount to lock up, or occasionally to chase some old-school NFT.
Lately everyone’s been talking about RWA and on-chain U.S. Treasury yields. I looked into it a bit—honestly, the off-chain interest is tempting, but the losses from clicking around in the wallet are also pretty painful. For me personally, I’ll still keep lightweight activities on L2, and I don’t need to adjust serious large positions every day.
That’s it for now.
