I used to run back and forth between L2s, and whenever I saw an authorization pop-up, I would just click "Unlimited" all the way through to save time. After all, the next steps still involve bridging, swapping tokens, and adding liquidity pools… Looking back now, I’m a bit scared: what you authorize isn’t just "this operation," but leaving a key for the contract. If the contract gets compromised or the front end gets phished someday, the funds in your wallet could be stolen in more than one way.
Now my habit is: revoke authorization after use, just like turning off the gas before bed—troublesome for two minutes but saves a night of anxiety.
Recently, everyone’s talking about modularization and the DA layer, and developers are excited, but users are completely confused. Honestly, for someone like me who’s just moving bricks, it’s simpler: no matter how the chain is assembled, don’t give out permissions randomly. Keep your assets alive first, then talk about narratives.
