Just opened my phone’s notification bar—there were a whole row of red dots. Tapping them was nothing but pending wallet alerts. I was even thinking maybe someone claimed an airdrop that hadn’t arrived yet, but then I realized: a transaction from last night still hasn’t been confirmed; the mempool is clogged to the point of chaos. The gas fee keeps bouncing around like it’s playing heartbeats—you bump it up and it rises with it; if you don’t, it just sits in the queue watching other people jump ahead. Honestly, that feeling is exactly like waiting at the mine entrance for ventilation—you can’t rush it, you just have to stare blankly at on-chain data. Lately, hardware wallets have been out of stock, security alerts are popping up constantly, and phishing links are everywhere—so I definitely don’t dare click those pop-ups. But when the network is congested, people get anxious, and once you panic, it’s easy to make mistakes. Anyone who’s stepped into a trap knows.
