Recently, I checked my wallet's authorization records again and realized that I had previously clicked through a bunch of "unlimited" permissions for convenience. At the time, I thought saving two signatures was worth it, but now I think it's like leaving the door unlocked while sleeping: not necessarily going to cause trouble, but if something does happen, it could be a total loss. Especially now, with regulations tightening and loosening intermittently, and some places still discussing tax increases, the expectations for deposits and withdrawals are changing. When everyone's mindset is anxious, it's easier to click on links or connect wallets recklessly. In this case, hidden risks like authorization should be more carefully controlled.
My current approach is very simple: revoke permissions after use, set limits where possible, and completely clear contracts that I don't interact with long-term; not because I’m overly cautious, but mainly to avoid waking up passively in the middle of the night. Anyway, the most expensive thing on the chain is often not the transaction fee, but the luck-based mentality... As for how much authorization you’re used to leaving, you can weigh that yourself.
