These past two days, watching on-chain approvals has given me a headache… To put it simply, contract approvals with that kind of “no limits” are pretty much the same as leaving the lights on all night: it’s convenient right now, but if something really goes wrong later, you won’t even know where the leak is. Especially recently, a bunch of new L1/L2 projects have been offering incentives to drive TVL—everyone is rushing in while also complaining about “mining and selling.” What I’m actually more afraid of is people opening up all wallet permissions just to move fast; once the campaign is over, those approvals are still sitting there.
My current habit is: use it, then撤/withdraw—if you can set a limit, set a limit, and delete the unused dapps from your frequently used list as you go. Steadily staking to earn a bit of cash flow is more than enough; there’s no need to gamble on luck over small details like this… That’s it for now.
