I keep seeing a bunch of “Somebody’s snapshot is coming.” It’s hard not to feel tempted, but impulsiveness is exactly what makes you easy to get counter-snatched: your wallet is full of messy authorizations, and even your router loves to shove you into some weird pool—then once you open a big swap with slippage turned way up, just wait to get sandwiched. My approach is kind of old-school: before interacting, run a small test first to check whether the execution path and the actual slippage line up; if you can set a limit price, don’t use a market order; revoke authorizations after you’re done—even if it’s more of a hassle.

I’ve read too many news stories about cross-chain bridges getting stolen from, so now I really don’t dare to run back and forth across bridges just to save a few cents in fees… When the oracle put out abnormal quotes, everyone was waiting for “confirmation,” and I feel the same: it’s better to interact later than to be the first batch of guinea pigs. I’m tired, but I’m still here—anyway, slowly reproducing it. Don’t let FOMO pull you along.
