I’m not very good at talking about fancy strategies, but contract authorization is something I truly think is as important as sleep: if you don’t revoke it, it’ll stay open there with the door left ajar. Earlier, just to switch to another pool conveniently, I casually clicked “Unlimited.” At the time I was trying to save time—now I think about it, it’s like leaving the key in the door and not taking it out. If nothing goes wrong, it’s fine. But if something does happen, you won’t even have time to react.
Recently, there’s been more arguing about miners/validators’ income, MEV, and whether transaction ordering is fair. Basically, no matter how much small retail users complain about ordering, if you don’t manage your own wallet permissions, it’s easier for you to get “educated” first. My current habit is: revoke after you’re done. If a fixed limit is available, don’t choose unlimited. If you can’t be bothered, connect to fewer new protocols… Low-risk returns are really built on patience—don’t let a single authorization hand over years of interest in one go. That’s it for now.
