I just checked my wallet and realized I previously gave a certain small tool an “unlimited amount” authorization. That feeling is the same as staying up late without sleeping and then still having to go to work the next day: it’s convenient in the moment, but later you might have to pay the bill. To put it simply, authorization is like lending out your house keys first—lending them once isn’t a big deal, but then you directly hand over a “door access card” that lets anyone come and go… My current habit is: use it and then take it back, especially for some temporary minting/exchange pages—I’d rather click a couple more times.

Recently, everyone has been arguing about NFT royalties, creators’ income, and secondary market liquidity. I’m watching the excitement, but I’m even more afraid of clicking to grant authorizations to various aggregator markets “just to save one step.” Sure, liquidity is there, but it also makes your wallet easier to get casually siphoned from. Anyway, I don’t understand the technical stuff, but I do understand myself—I’m going to be lazy—so the only thing I can do is revoke authorizations regularly and, before going to bed, quickly scan once to keep laziness in check.
