Recently, some people have been comparing on-chain yield products to U.S. Treasury yields.
It sounds quite reasonable, but I personally care more about "who sets the rules" when it comes to interactions.
Airdrops, to put it simply, are a game of strategy; the more you act like a sheep, the easier it is to be front-run:
using a full set of one-click scripts, running the same path on ten accounts, always chasing the hottest pools...
it's basically like raising your hand to say "Come and front-run me."
My approach is more conservative: only interact with stablecoin pools and mechanisms I understand,
not aiming for high interaction frequency, and avoiding overly templated actions;
calculate the transaction fees and time costs clearly first, and if I see the project clearly inflating interaction data, I stop,
prefer missing out over chasing aggressively.
When FOMO hits, I remind myself: those who can truly afford to distribute airdrops don't need my "filler liquidity."
Next time, we’ll talk more.
