Just took a look at the gas—it's jumping again. Every time right before and after these layer-1 upgrade announcements, you can always smell a congestion in the air, somehow like the smoke before a fire. Honestly, as someone who watches packaging timing all the time, I’m actually most afraid of this moment—when the spotlight moves in rotation, everyone swarms at once. There’s all kinds of ecosystem migration and testnet interactions—sure, it’s lively, but when you look back, you realize quite a few people got sliced pretty badly.

I don’t really have a good solution—I just wait. Wait for confirmation, wait for the pullback, wait until I’ve thought it through. Anyway, on-chain data doesn’t lie. If gas is high, I just sit and wait; if it turns into a long queue for packaging, I pause. I’d rather be a step slower than finish chasing and then find out it was a trap. In plain terms, it’s an attention economy—whoever shouts the loudest gets the traffic—but the money is yours, so why be in a rush?
