what's Revoke.cash?
Revoke.cash is a web-based security tool designed to help cryptocurrency users manage and revoke token approvals on blockchain networks. It allows users to scan their wallet addresses across over 100 networks, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon, to identify active approvals granted to smart contracts. These approvals, often given when interacting with DeFi protocols or dApps, can pose risks if exploited by malicious actors. By revoking unnecessary permissions, users regain control over their assets and reduce exposure to potential drains or hacks. The tool operates by querying blockchain data to list approvals, enabling batch revocations through wallet integrations like MetaMask. It includes features such as scam warnings, exploit checkers for specific incidents, and a browser extension for real-time protection against phishing and malicious transactions. Revoke.cash emphasizes user privacy, with no storage of wallet data, and has prevented significant losses by alerting users to vulnerabilities in token contracts and bridges.
