Recently, I was reviewing the authorizations on my wallet and found several "unlimited" ones still active. Honestly, it's like leaving the door unlocked—nothing happens most of the time, but when something does, it's hard to sleep peacefully. Especially since I’ve only used some contracts once, and at the time, I even clicked the maximum limit to save trouble. Now that I think about it, it feels pretty uncomfortable: the project team might not be malicious, but with contract upgrades, front-end malware, or permissions being transferred, no one can be sure.
These past couple of days, everyone has been talking about staking unlocks, token unlock calendars, and the pressure to sell, which has caused anxiety to peak. But I’m actually more concerned about another kind of "invisible unlock"—the permissions you give out to spend your money, which can be used by others at any time without any notice. Now I basically do this: use it and then revoke, check again after a few days, just like checking the doors and windows before bed—more trouble, but peace of mind.
Of course, not all authorizations need to be revoked all at once. I keep some frequently used ones with small limits... As for how you usually handle authorizations, I won’t say it’s set in stone just yet.
