Never blindly approve a smart contract. One malicious approval can drain your entire wallet in seconds — no confirmation popup, no second chance. Treat every "Approve" button like signing a blank check.
Step 1: Verify the contract address on a block explorer. Match it exactly to the official project documentation or verified social channels. Typosquatting and fake UIs are everywhere.
Step 2: Check the contract code. Use tools like Etherscan’s "Read Contract" or "Code" tab. Look for verified source code, audit reports from reputable firms, and suspicious functions like unlimited spend or hidden owner privileges.
Step 3: Use a transaction simulator. Platforms like Tenderly or Revoke.cash let you preview exactly what an approval will do before you sign. If the simulation shows token transfers you didn’t expect, cancel immediately.
Approval is not a formality — it’s a permanent permission. Revoke unused allowances regularly.
