Last night I almost forgot to revoke a contract authorization for an old DApp—until the wallet popup reminder made me realize it… Unlimited allowances, to be blunt, are like slipping your house keys under a doormat: nothing happens most of the time, but once something goes wrong, it looks really bad. Revoke permissions—like getting your sleep in—is just as important: you can get by without doing it, but if they get stolen one day, you’ll only end up blaming yourself for being too lazy back then.
Recently, the group has been arguing about privacy coins, coin mixing, and the boundaries of compliance. I can see that it’s pretty divided. Some people say “privacy is a right,” and others say “don’t invite trouble.” As for me, I think no matter which side you stand on, at least manage the authorizations for your own wallet first—don’t talk about principles on one hand while leaving unlimited allowances enabled on the other.
I used to always say, “I only look at the blockchain,” but I’ve found that line is a bit obsessive: the blockchain can show how money moves, but it can’t tell what you accidentally clicked at midnight by mistake. So now… just slow down—authorize only in small amounts when you have to, and revoke right after you’re done. It makes me feel a lot more at ease. That’s it for now.
