Take Control of Your Wallet
When using decentralized applications (dApps) like Uniswap or OpenSea, you must grant them permission to spend your tokens and NFTs. This is called a token approval. If left unchecked, these dApps can spend your tokens at any time. Regain control by revoking unnecessary approvals.

Step-by-Step Guide to Revoking Approvals
1. Connect Your Wallet
Click "Connect Wallet" in the top-right corner or enter an address in the search bar.
2. Review Authorizations
Use blockchain filters, sorting options, and categorization tools to audit your active token approvals.
3. Revoke Permissions
Remove spending access for tokens you no longer use to eliminate unnecessary financial exposure.
Best Practices for Authorization Management
1. Schedule Regular Audits
Limit approvals for infrequently used dApps—especially NFT marketplaces. This reduces risks from:
- Smart contract exploits
- Phishing attacks
- Platform vulnerabilities
👉 Monitor Approvals Proactively
2. Act Immediately After Suspected Fraud
Scammers often trick users into malicious approvals. Sort approvals by "Most Recent" to identify risks and revoke compromised permissions (though stolen funds cannot be recovered).
3. Install Browser Extensions
Preventative tools can warn you about high-risk authorization requests in real-time, adding a critical layer of protection against phishing.
Key Security FAQs
Can revoked approvals recover stolen assets?
No. This is a preventative tool only. While revoking approvals limits future exposure, it cannot retrieve already-lost funds.
Do hardware wallets prevent approval vulnerabilities?
No. Hardware wallets secure private keys but offer no extra protection against valid (even if malicious) token approvals.
My ETH keeps getting stolen—will revoking help?
If a "sweeper bot" drains ETH deposits, your seed phrase is compromised. Create a new wallet—approval management won't resolve this issue.
Does disconnecting my wallet remove approvals?
No. Wallet disconnection only hides your address from the dApp interface. Existing approvals remain active until manually revoked.
