Recently checked my wallet and found a few contracts with "unlimited authorization," basically leaving the keys at the door with a sign that says "take what you want"... At the time, I was quick to confirm and wait a few seconds less. But when something actually goes wrong, you simply don't have time to react; the delay isn't network latency, it's that moment you realize something's wrong.
Why do I care so much about revoking permissions?
Because you never know if the next time you'll be exploited, it will be you.
It's also pretty noisy on the blockchain now, with everyone complaining about miners/validators extracting MEV and unfair ordering. I’m too lazy to argue about the principles; for retail investors, there are very few variables they can control: give fewer unlimited permissions, revoke after use, or just click revoke before bed—like locking the door. It doesn’t generate profit but helps you sleep better. That’s all for now.
