Recently, everyone has been talking about AI Agent going on-chain to automatically work, and I’m also tempted, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that “moving a little slower” can actually save lives. There are too many steps in on-chain interactions that truly need a human to stand by: the authorization step (especially unlimited authorization)—I’d rather lag half a beat and click manually; as for lending, even more so—when an Agent sees the interest rate curve sharply jump, it immediately wants to go make a trade, but the liquidation line can move, and when liquidity is thin, I’m not calm—the program panics, I panic… And as for cross-chain / switching pools, once the route changes, slippage changes too, and the outcome looks different.

Also, the on-chain data tools and tagging system are being criticized for being lagging or even misleading. An Agent reads something like a “safe address” and then charges ahead with confidence—I really don’t dare hand everything over to it. To put it plainly, my strategy right now is: automate what can be automated, but leave the final step of confirmation to a human. Slow down and check it with your eyes—so you don’t get woken up in the middle of the night by liquidation text messages. After all, my “crash and burn” experience tells me: moving fast doesn’t necessarily mean winning; moving a little slower at least means you don’t die too quickly.
