How to disconnect your wallet from dApps

  • Updated

Disconnecting a wallet is not the same as revoking token approvals or smart contract allowances. If you need to revoke token approvals, check out this article: How to revoke token approvals.

What happens when you connect your wallet

When you connect your wallet to a decentralized application (dApp), you’re giving the dApp permission to:

  • View your wallet address
  • See your token balances
  • Access your transaction history
  • Initiate transactions on your behalf

What disconnecting your wallet does

When you disconnect your wallet, the dApp loses read-only access. It can no longer view your wallet contents or initiate transactions.

Important: Disconnecting does not revoke any token approvals or smart contract allowances. If you’ve previously approved a dApp to move your funds, that access remains until you manually revoke it.

Disconnect your Phantom wallet from connected dApps

  1. Open the Phantom app.
  2. Select your account in the top-left corner.
  3. Go to Settings > Connected Apps.
  4. Select the app you want to disconnect from, then select Disconnect.
  5. To disconnect from all dApps, select the three dots in the top-right cornet, then select Disconnect from all.

Stay safe when connected to dApps

  • Only connect your wallet to dApps you trust.
  • If you’re exploring a new or unfamiliar dApp, consider using a burner wallet—a separate wallet created just for testing.
  • Never enter your seed phrase or private key. No legitimate dApp will ask for this information to connect or transact.
