Lately I've been debating about airdrop interactions again, honestly just afraid of getting rekt or missing out. My approach is pretty cautious: first check the contract permissions and upgrade options, especially whether I can freely modify the implementation, or if I can blacklist/transfer tokens; then see if the interaction steps have any traps like "authorize unlimited" first. If something feels off, I just skip it—losing a little less isn't worth losing sleep over. When FOMO hits, I remind myself: airdrops aren't freebies, often they're just buying risk.
By the way, there's a lot of noise right now about NFT royalties—creators want income, but secondary sales are disliked for affecting liquidity... I care more about whether the rules are hardcoded or can be changed by an admin with one click. Don’t end up arguing forever while the contract leaves a backdoor that can be exploited to shift the blame.
I usually set a limit for myself: only use a small account, small amounts, and only interact when I understand it. Don’t treat "interactions" like clocking in at work. How about you?
