Recently, I’ve been reviewing a bunch of my contract authorizations, and they’re often set to unlimited. It’s a bit unsettling... To put it simply, you treat your wallet like a door card; authorization is like temporarily lending out the keys. Once used, they’re not taken back. One day, if the contract on the other side has an issue or the front end gets changed, you’re still sleeping, but your assets have already been “stolen.” Revoking permissions is just as important as sleeping: it’s not about getting rich overnight, but about waking up tomorrow and still being there.
Now Layer 2 is always arguing about TPS, fees, and subsidies. I’m actually more concerned about permissions accumulating as I cross back and forth; no matter how fast the chain is, it can’t handle permissions that aren’t cleaned up.
Anyway, now I check once after each interaction, preferring to confirm a couple of extra times. How about you?
