I found that the easiest thing to overlook in a contract is not opening a position, but granting "unlimited authorization"—these small actions. Basically, you first hand over the keys to someone, and no matter how much you monitor order flow or control entry and exit points later, it's useless... Some protocol pages are quite flashy, with modular and DeFi layer storytelling that developers love, but users are actually confused. They click a couple of times and default to unlimited, and if something goes wrong, you can only blame your own quick fingers.

My current rule is very simple: revoke permissions after use. For wallets that I don't use often, I just don't give permissions at all. Before bed, I quickly scan the authorization list, just like turning off the gas. This way, I avoid being stolen overnight, and waking up to a panic attack. Never mind, let's not talk about other things. Permissions really should be treated as a bedtime routine.
