These days, I’ve been taught a lesson by the mainnet gas again... I want to do small things (transfer funds, claim an airdrop), but the transaction fees steal the show even more than the main transaction. To be honest, my current compromise plan is: try to handle daily interactions on L2 as much as possible, and only go on the mainnet when necessary—save up and bundle transactions when possible, don’t split into three parts, and avoid competing during peak times. The experience on L2 is definitely much smoother, but occasionally waiting for cross-chain transfers makes people anxious, and you have to keep an eye on not choosing the wrong bridge.



By the way, I saw everyone comparing RWA, US bond yields, and on-chain yield products. My first reaction isn’t about how high the returns are, but: have you included the gas/fees for deposit, withdrawal, chain switching, and authorization? Sometimes, the little “interest” saved ends up being fully eaten by transaction fees and slippage. Anyway, I now treat “operation costs” as a fixed tax in my calculations, and I focus on controlling that before talking about other things.
