Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share something that happened a couple months ago — maybe someone here has had a similar experience?
So I got caught up in the Fantom hype earlier this year. Not gonna lie, I was mostly in it for the quick flips. Bridged some funds over, started farming like crazy on random DEXs. Mistake #1: did it all from MetaMask on mobile while half-asleep. Mistake #2: chasing APRs like I was speedrunning rug pulls.
At one point, I legit spent over $8K just on gas across Ethereum and bridging fees back and forth. I was rage-clicking and didn’t even realize it until I checked my tx history a week later 😵
But here's where it gets strange —
While doom-scrolling Twitter, I randomly joined a Fantom group and someone dropped a link to this DEX I hadn’t seen before. Looked cute (ghost-themed lol), had an actual UI that didn’t crash my browser, and was way faster than anything else I’d used on Fantom.
Didn’t ape in right away, but I started using it casually and noticed something odd — my txs were executing with like 10x more consistency, no weird delays, no disappearing LPs. I even started making small wins. Not life-changing, but it basically balanced out the $8K disaster from earlier. 😅
Not naming anything here to avoid shilling (you'll figure it out), but has anyone else felt like certain DEXs on Fantom are secretly just better than the "trending" ones?
Would love to hear if I'm just lucky this time — or if there's something deeper to this ecosystem I’ve overlooked.
