Disconnecting your wallet from a dapp does not cancel its permission to spend your tokens.
A connection lets the website interact with your wallet. A token approval gives a smart contract spending permission. Closing the tab or disconnecting leaves that approval in place.
For a practical check, open Ethereum.org’s token-access guide and use a linked approval checker. Select the correct network, review the spender and allowance, then revoke permissions you no longer need. Revocation requires an on-chain transaction and a network fee.
The risk: an unlimited approval can expose your entire balance of that token if the approved contract is malicious. Approve only what you need next time—not unlimited access by default.
