Recently, a bunch of new L1/L2 projects are launching incentives to pull TVL, and older brothers in the group are complaining about "mining, withdrawing, and selling." I really understand: you think you're just farming, but you're actually giving a bunch of contracts unlimited authorization. To put it simply, unlimited authorization is like handing over your house key without asking where the other person lives; nothing happens normally, but when something goes wrong, it's like the entire house is emptied.
Now I’m used to checking the authorization list before bed, just like brushing my teeth: if I can revoke it, I do. Especially for those I’ve forgotten where I used them for swaps. Don’t think it’s a hassle—when a problem occurs, you won’t even have the chance to "stop loss."
There’s also a small change that’s quite useful: I set smaller goals. I don’t aim to clean up all authorizations at once, just start by removing the most frequently used wallets and the most common tokens. As a result, I’ve actually stuck with it… Anyway, staying alive is the most important.
