I recently checked my wallet's contract approvals again and realized I’m not much better than others… In the past, I gave unlimited permissions for convenience, but then I thought about it—it's like "not locking your phone before sleeping": not necessarily going to cause trouble, but if something does happen, it could be a total loss. To be clear: contracts aren’t necessarily malicious, project teams aren’t necessarily running away, but as long as permissions are still there, any vulnerability/hijack/frontend swap could turn you into an ATM.
Especially now, with staking and shared security yield stacking being criticized as "copycat," I care even more about how long the approval chain is: every extra layer adds an uncontrollable variable. My current approach is pretty simple—revoke permissions after use, or only give the necessary amount. I’d rather pay a bit more in fees than risk leaving that small operation open and vulnerable. Honestly, I need a reminder: approving permissions is like locking the door before bed—doing it daily keeps me at ease.
