Recently, everyone has been talking about AI Agents automatically running strategies on-chain. My first reaction isn't "efficiency," but rather "who's holding the keys." Frankly, the prerequisite for being able to click buttons automatically is that you've granted authorization/private keys/session permissions. Once such things are given out, the cost of regret is quite high.



I think at least a few steps still need human oversight: before the first authorization, restrict the permission scope (don't start with unlimited), review the contract address and the signature content at a glance, especially those that "look like login" but are actually signing for transfers; for critical actions like withdrawing funds, chain switching, or strategy changes, it's best to require manual confirmation. Otherwise, if the agent malfunctions, it’s not just about losing a fee.

As for staking, shared security, and the "yield stacking" approach, they've recently been criticized for being copycats, and there's some truth to that. The longer the chain of processes, the more points of failure there are. Agents will only make the process run faster... I now prefer to earn less rather than turn a series of authorizations into a ticking time bomb. Today, I went through another authorization audit, deleted a few allowances I had forgotten about, and felt more at ease.
