Does clicking “Disconnect” revoke the token approval you gave your wallet? Actually, those are two different things.
Disconnecting cuts off the website connection, not the token allowance you previously granted to a contract. For common EVM token approvals, as long as the approval remains valid, the other party may still be able to transfer the approved tokens within the allowance. Closing the webpage or disconnecting does not automatically invalidate it.
But don’t scare yourself in the opposite direction: connecting a wallet alone does not mean you’ve approved token transfers.
Check tonight—and don’t just clear your “connected sites”:
1) Use an official wallet access point you’ve verified, or the block explorer for the relevant chain, to find the token approval manager.
2) Select the correct account and network, then check the token, approved contract, and allowance. Prioritize approvals you no longer use and unlimited allowances.
3) If you want to revoke an approval, carefully review the transaction details before submitting it, then confirm it succeeded on-chain. Revoking usually costs gas on that chain; clicking the button doesn’t mean it’s done.
Revoking approvals isn’t a cure-all: it won’t recover a leaked recovery phrase or assets that have already been transferred.
When you’ve cleaned up your wallet before, did you only disconnect websites, or did you also check your token allowances? Don’t post your private key or recovery phrase.
