These past two days, I’ve seen new L1/L2 projects incentivizing TVL again. In the group, guys are rushing in while side-eyeing and complaining, “mine, then sell.” And it makes me want to say this: don’t just fixate on airdrops—the “unlimited” contract authorization is really just as important as sleep. If you don’t revoke it, there’ll always be this lingering worry in your heart. To put it simply, once you’ve approved, it’s like handing over the access-control card. If the contract later has a loophole or gets taken over, having your assets quietly drained isn’t some mysterious thing.
My current habit is: revoke after using, or at least change it to a small limit—especially for cross-chain, DEXs, and all kinds of new liquidity pools. It’s fine to be a bit slower and more expensive; don’t be lazy and leave “anyone can just access” sitting on-chain for convenience… Just click revoke a couple of times before bed, and the next morning you’ll feel a lot more at ease.
