I tried it once and saw a so-called “coincidental” transfer on Etherscan: address A sent 0.1 ETH to address B, then B immediately sent to address C, and C sent back to A. At first glance it looked like circular wash trading or random arbitrage, but after following the path more carefully, I found that C was a new contract. Address A had interacted with it a few times before, while B was just a passing relay. In plain terms, those seemingly magical on-chain “coincidences” are mostly the intermediate states of contract interactions or leftover MEV. As long as you’re willing to look at a few more transactions and trace the call relationships in the debugger, the path becomes clear—like a brightly assembled window of colored glass. With more phishing links out there now, everyone focuses on the transfer amount, but I’ve also gotten into the habit of checking the data field of the contract calls. Even if it takes ten extra seconds, it’s still better than getting trapped.
