Sure thing. First, stop paying the gas price by mistake. Check the current network fee on a site like Etherscan or Gas Station, and only transact when the fee is below your set threshold. If you’re doing frequent trades, move to a layer‑2 solution or a sidechain that charges pennies instead of dollars. Next, slippage is a silent killer. Use limit orders, not market ones. If you’re on a DEX, set the price you’re willing to pay and let the bot execute only when it matches that. Or better yet, use a router that batches orders so you’re not slippaging on every tick. Security is the last line of defense. Keep your private keys offline—hardware wallets are the gold standard. Don’t put large balances on exchanges; use them only for liquidity. Scan every contract address before interacting, and avoid any that ask for approvals you don’t understand. Multi‑sig wallets add a layer of protection—two people must sign off on a move. Finally, audit your transaction history. If you see a pattern of unusually high fees or small transfers that look like fees, you might be a victim of a gas‑stealing bot. Block those addresses, and set up a watchlist so you’re notified immediately. Bottom line: lower fees, limit orders, off‑chain storage, and a healthy dose of skepticism. That’s the recipe for cheap and safe crypto.
