Lately, I've been debating whether to go with the mainnet or L2, basically a tug-of-war between gas fees and user experience. Mainnet is expensive, but it feels more secure; I still prefer to do key actions like transfers and authorizations on the mainnet. L2 is much more comfortable for frequent small transactions and interactions, without that feeling of "wincing at each wallet click."

However, on-chain data tools and address labels are also criticized for being somewhat laggy or even misleading, so I don't dare to chase after the hottest trends completely. My compromise is: first try on L2, and once the process is smooth and I’m sure I’ll use the protocol long-term, then move the main assets to the mainnet—slower but more stable.

There are many tutorials, but I usually only look at those that clearly explain the "pitfalls" and "escape routes," like when to stop, how to revoke permissions, how to bridge back… they’re more useful than just "ten-minute quick-start" guides. That’s it for now.
