I tried it once: at midnight, my hands were itching, so I interacted with a small protocol. I didn’t even look closely at the wallet pop-up before clicking “Unlimited Authorization,” thinking I’d deal with it tomorrow. The next day, when I checked the reconciliation, I saw that right after that address there was still a pile of my tokens’ usable balances attached—instant clarity... To put it plainly, it’s like not locking the door when you sleep; just because nothing happens today doesn’t mean nothing will ever happen.

Now my habit is: revoke permissions right after using them—especially those that make you sign a string of stuff you can’t make heads or tails of. Lately, everyone’s been complaining that validators are taking MEV and that ordering is unfair. I can’t control all the big narratives, but at least I can keep my own wallet’s little “permission accounting” clean. Otherwise, if I lose money, I won’t even know who to blame. Either way, revoking permissions is like turning off the lights: it only takes a few seconds, and you can sleep more soundly.
