To be honest, I never really took the "unlimited contract authorization" seriously before, I just thought it was convenient—click once and then it's easy to switch pools or add positions later.
But these past couple of days, seeing everyone talk about AI Agents and automated trading, the more automated it gets, the more frequent on-chain interactions are needed.
I'm actually a bit panicked: you want it to help you save effort, but if it connects to an unreliable contract and the authorization is still unlimited, then you might wake up one day and find your wallet has been "automatically" drained...
I'm not sure if I'm being too cautious, but my current habit is: after using a DApp, I revoke permissions if I can, especially for those "unlimited" ones.
It's like checking the door lock before bed—just a few minutes, and it relieves the worry.
Anyway, I prefer to click a couple more times than to gamble with luck.
