How to revoke token approvals

  • Updated

Scammers on the Solana blockchain may try to trick you into approving malicious transactions. These scams often target Associated Token Accounts (ATAs)—special sub-addresses used to store specific tokens. Once compromised, scammers can drain your funds even if you disconnect the dApp. Revoking a token approval is not the same as disconnecting your wallet from a dApp.

Safety tips

  • Ignore unsolicited NFTs or airdrops. These often include malicious links or instructions.
  • Never share your secret recovery phrase. No dApp or tool should ever ask for it.
  • Verify before connecting. Always double-check the legitimacy of any dApp or revoke tool before approving transactions.
