Airdrop interactions have been really frustrating lately: if I don’t do it, I might miss out, but if I do it too much, it feels like I’m handing other people gas. My approach is a bit cautious—first I go through the contract permissions. If I can avoid it, I won’t approve infinite allowances. And if the signature includes something like “permit2 + perpetual authorization,” I just close the page right away… Anyway, don’t make things difficult for your own wallet.

Layer 2 is constantly comparing TPS, fees, and subsidies every day—everyone talks a lot about it—but what I care about is where the money ends up flowing. A couple of days ago, I looked at a new pool. On-chain, I saw the deployer wallet moving the LP shares to something like this “relay” address—0x8c…a1—then dispersing and withdrawing them from another new account. Yeah, a familiar smell… I immediately shut it down.

In plain terms, there are just two rules: I only interact using paths I understand, and when the budget hits, I’m done. If I really get swept up in FOMO, I’d rather miss the airdrop than be re-extracted again. That’s it for now.
