WALLET PERMISSIONS
Disconnecting a wallet vs revoking approvals
Understand the difference between a website connection and an on-chain token approval, and what to review next.
Two permissions, two different jobs
Disconnecting removes the website connection in your wallet. A token allowance is an on-chain permission for a particular spender to move particular tokens. Disconnecting does not cancel that allowance.
MetaMask: approvals and disconnecting ↗Review the spender and the network
Use your wallet’s documented approval-management flow or an independently verified approval checker. Inspect the network, token, spender, and allowance. Revoking an on-chain approval is itself a transaction and generally requires a network fee.
MetaMask: reviewing and revoking ↗A hardware wallet does not cancel permissions
Protecting a private key and controlling an allowance are different tasks. Revoke.cash explains that hardware wallets do not prevent an approved contract from using its allowance. Reviewing the transaction you authorize still matters.

Do not follow unsolicited recovery links or send a recovery phrase to someone claiming to help. CryptoStronghold cannot recover stolen funds. If you suspect a private key or recovery phrase was exposed, an approval review alone does not resolve that compromise.
