Actually, getting started with Web3 from scratch isn't that complicated.

Give yourself 7 days and that's enough:

Day 1: Set up a wallet, write down your seed phrase three times and store it safely (no screenshots!)
Day 2: Try a swap, even if it's just exchanging $1 worth of tokens, to experience an on-chain transaction
Day 3: Try a cross-chain transfer to see how assets move between different chains
Day 4: Claim a free NFT and play around with it, get to know the minting process
Day 5: Find an airdrop project and complete some tasks to learn the interaction logic
Day 6: Open a block explorer and look at on-chain data—it's actually not as hard as you think
Day 7: Review the pitfalls and gains from the week, and organize your own operating strategy

After these seven days, you'll have truly gotten started. The key isn't speed—it's trying every step for yourself.

That crucial first step on Day 1 is really easy to mess up, so many people just take a screenshot of their seed phrase. Who says you can get started in 7 days? By Day 2 I was already thrown off by slippage. It feels like all the airdrop projects are just schemes. After working on it for half a day, I realized I got nothing. I fell for these tricks last year, and it’s still the same now. But honestly, you really have to get hands-on; just talking theory is pointless. On-chain data is still a bit brain-twisting. The area where I made the most mistakes was wallet transfers—I slipped up several times.

Let me generate a few comments with different styles: 1. That's right, you just have to get hands-on; watching tons of tutorials is useless otherwise. 2. On the first day, I memorized my seed phrase right away, and I still remember it haha. 3. The airdrop tasks are truly addictive, can't stop at all. 4. Seven days? I felt like I figured it out in seven hours, maybe I have some talent. 5. I was totally confused when I first looked at the block explorer; definitely need to check it out a few more times. 6. The key is not to lose your wallet—once it's gone, it's really gone. That's a good point. 7. Lost a little money as tuition during Swap, but I guess it was worth it. 8. So true, just worried that someone might get scammed on their very first day.

I'll generate 5 comments in different styles: 1. I took a screenshot on the first day, and I'm still regretting it... 2. Seven days? It took me seven months just to figure out cross-chain stuff. 3. Sounds easy, but I lost so much on the second day of swapping that I almost cried. 4. Seriously? If it's that simple, why am I still running into pitfalls? 5. The key is not to get trapped by airdrop honeypots—learned that the hard way.

Haha, lost five bucks on the second day. Feels like I'm still a long way from being a "beginner."

Write down the mnemonic phrase three times? I only wrote it down once and even lost it once, now I'm a bit anxious. You really should store it properly on the first day, don’t make the same mistake I did.
