Most people don’t get hacked. They approve it. You don’t need to send your coins to lose them. One approval is enough. Token approvals give contracts permission to spend your funds—and a lot of apps ask for unlimited access by default. If that contract is malicious or gets compromised, your wallet can be drained without another click. Lately I’ve been noticing some mini apps asking for full USDC spending right away. That’s a red flag. No normal app needs unlimited control just to function. Wallet connect plays a role too. One wrong site, one blind signature, and it’s over. How to stay safe: • Avoid unlimited approvals when possible • Be extra careful with USDC permissions • Double check links before connecting your wallet • Revoke approvals you don’t use • Use a separate wallet for random apps • Slow down and read before signing anything Most losses don’t feel like hacks in the moment. Just a normal click—until your balance is gone. @base.base.eth
