Read the permission before approving itA wallet approval is a permission decision. Read it as one. A token allowance lets a specified contract spend tokens within that allowance. It isn't just a login step. The spender and amount should match the task you intended. Reach the application through an independently verified address, check the domain, and read the request in your wallet. Connecting a wallet, signing a message and authorizing a transaction are different actions; they don't all grant the same authority. For a token allowance, check the token, network, spender and limit. If the permission is broader than expected, pause and find out why. A smaller allowance can reduce that particular exposure, but it doesn't make a malicious application safe. Never put recovery phrases or private keys into websites or support conversations. Someone with the recovery phrase may not need another approval. Review old permissions through an independently verified tool. Revocation can require a transaction fee. It won't reverse completed transfers or repair a compromised recovery phrase. If you can't explain what a request permits, stopping is a useful outcome. https://ethereum.org/security/ $ETH #WalletSecurity #TokenApprovals

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.
