To be honest, lately there’s been a lot of hype online about on-chain large transfers as “smart money,” and I’m honestly pretty nervous watching it. A lot of people only stare at the address and where to send funds, without even checking what that address had previously authorized—what if it’s an authorization to a phishing site? Once the money goes into an unclean pool, you can’t just run it back.



My own wallet management has one red line right now: before signing, always check whether the price feed source and the authorization address are official. A couple of days ago, a friend almost got caught by a certain “airdrop claim” page—only after signing did they realize something was off, and they quickly revoked the authorization in panic. In fact, to truly guard against phishing, just relying on the old-fashioned “don’t click links” isn’t enough. The best move is to develop a habit: keep a separate small wallet specifically for signing, and only put in enough gas funds there, while locking large assets in a read-only account. Split transactions and signing—if things go wrong, the loss can be contained.

Anyway, what I’m most afraid of right now isn’t contract bugs, it’s phishing sites that look normal but have authorization logic designed to trip you up. What about you?
