Understanding Approvals

Token approvals can drain your wallet.

When you approve a token on a dApp, you're often giving that contract permission to move your tokens. Malicious contracts ask for unlimited approvals and then drain everything.

Best practices:

  • Revoke unused approvals regularly
  • Read what you're signing (or use tools that translate it)
  • Be suspicious of unlimited approval requests
  • Use a separate wallet for risky activities
