Revokescout

Check, manage and revoke your token approvals

Many applications require you to grant approvals so that their contracts can interact with tokens in your wallet. This can be a security issue if you have granted unlimited or high allowances, or have granted approvals and forgotten about them. If an application is hacked or misused in some way, this can result in funds being quickly drained from your wallet.

Revokescout lets you manage your approvals from a single interface. Easily check, update, and revoke token allowances you may have granted to different applications.

Access the App

Revokescout can be accessed directly at https://revoke.blockscout.com/ or as an app via the Dappscout interface in Blockscout on supported chains.

FAQ

Why can’t I see the “Value at Risk” for the approved amount?

This usually happens when the price information in USD is not available for a particular token. In these cases, the token amount is displayed without an associated USD conversion.

Can I revoke multiple approvals at once?

Not yet. We’re still working on this functionality, and it will be added in future releases.

Can I use a hardware wallet with Revokescout?

Yes, you can use any wallet that WalletConnect supports.

Why should I revoke access to my tokens?

It’s always a good practice to limit token approvals when you’re not actively using a dapp, especially on NFT marketplaces. This reduces the risk of losing funds due to hacks or exploits and helps mitigate the damage caused by phishing scams.

Why should I use Revokescout?

Revokescout is designed to provide valuable insights about your tokens and account. Instead of only allowing you to revoke token approvals, we offer a comprehensive overview of spender accounts. This way, you can make informed decisions and better understand who has access to your tokens.

Roadmap

  1. Public Tags

    We plan to highlight key information about approved spender contracts, ensuring users are aware of who has access to their tokens. If an approved spender gets hacked or is flagged as a scam, this information will be added to Blockscout, allowing users to react promptly.

  2. Sorting

    To improve user experience, we’re introducing sorting options for approvals. Users will be able to sort approvals by amount, date, and value at risk.

  3. Bulk Revoke for Multiple Tokens

    We’re working on adding a multi-token revoke feature in upcoming releases to speed up the process.
