Gas has been acting up again lately. I usually watch the on-chain activity—whenever something seems off, I can almost smell the smoke. But recently I found that my wallet situation is even more chaotic than the gas. I’ve got a few chains in hand—EVM and non-EVM—and my assets are scattered like sesame seeds. I wanted to tidy everything up, but when I opened it, that address was for “scooping up free gains” while this one was on a testnet, and there were a bunch of airdrops that I don’t know where they came from. It’s a mess, like it’s got a personal grudge against me.

Over the past two days, rate-cut expectations have been swinging around along with the US dollar, and risk assets have been riding a roller coaster too. It’s got me thinking about whether I should pull my assets together—at least so I don’t end up flustered later. Honestly, I’m still using my own notes right now. I jot down the rough picture, but once I get busy, I forget which transaction is on which chain. It’s pretty annoying.

To put it bluntly, managing wallets is more of a headache than writing a couple of small tools. For now, I’m only sticking to one principle: for chains I don’t use often, transfer everything back to the main wallet first, and keep just a few scattered addresses for testing—don’t go overboard. Anyway, that’s the plan for now: clean up what I can, can’t manage too much, because gas is already so expensive, and I don’t dare move things around recklessly.
