How Can You Check Which Tokens Your Wallet Has Approved?

Most approvals you've ever granted are still sitting active right now, invisible unless you go looking for them specifically. Checking isn't complicated, but it does require using a tool built for exactly this purpose — your wallet's normal interface won't show you this on its own.

Why Your Wallet App Doesn't Show This by Default

A standard wallet interface is built to show you your balances and transaction history. Approvals are a different category of information: standing permissions that exist independently, and most wallet apps simply don't surface them.

Using a Dedicated Token Approval Checker

Several tools exist specifically to solve this problem — you connect or enter your wallet address, and the tool queries the blockchain directly for every approval transaction your wallet has ever issued.

What to Look For in the Results

A useful approval checker typically shows, for each active approval: the token involved, the contract that's been granted permission, and the approved amount — including whether it's specific or effectively unlimited.

Checking Across Multiple Chains

If you use a wallet address across more than one blockchain network, approvals need to be checked separately per chain.

What to Do Once You've Found Old or Unfamiliar Approvals

Once you can see the full list, it's much easier to make an informed decision: revoke approvals to contracts you no longer use or don't recognize.

Why This Is Worth Doing Periodically, Not Just Once

New approvals accumulate every time you interact with a new app, swap, or platform.

Check your wallet's active token approvals across the networks you use, and revoke anything you don't recognize or no longer need.
