Lately, I’ve been struggling with tasks again: Layer 2 definitely saves gas, clicking around is smooth, but I’m always worried that in the end, I’ll have to go back to the mainnet to pay the “tuition.”
I usually first run the path smoothly on Layer 2 and set up my wallet properly, testing with small amounts first—if it’s fine, then I add more;
When I need to go to the mainnet, I choose off-peak times, and batch operations when possible to save from being cut one by one.
These days, after some mainstream chains upgrade or maintain, everyone in the group is guessing whether projects will move…
I, for one, won’t bet on migration for now; I’ll keep interaction records in a stable place so I don’t get stuck waiting on bridges later.
What I fear most isn’t missing opportunities, but burning gas on pointless back-and-forth operations.
