Last night, before going to bed, I habitually checked my wallet authorizations again. I found that not long ago, just to make things easier, I had given a certain DEX an “infinite” allowance. Back then, I even comforted myself: anyway, I don’t use it often. To be blunt, it’s not much different from leaving the door key outside… I immediately revoked everything I didn’t need before I dared to turn off the lights.

In the group chat these past two days, people have been circulating talk about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and all sorts of rumors that “we’re about to de-peg.” The more I read, the more uneasy I feel. The more it feels like this, the more I think: don’t leave backdoors in contracts anymore. If you don’t revoke authorizations, when something really goes wrong, you won’t even have time to react.

I’ve also had a moment of “if I can’t understand it, I’ll just not do anything.” I saw a page for cross-chain + mining, and a bunch of pop-ups in English kept asking me to sign. I stared at it for a long time without figuring out who exactly it wanted me to authorize and what the allowance/amount was. My hand was hovering over the confirm button, and then I pulled back… Forget it—slow is slow. At least I’ll be able to sleep tonight.
