You can open external decentralized applications in DeGate's in-app browser. Check the destination URL, select the wallet and network you want to use, and follow that application's connection steps. A connected site may ask you to sign a message, submit a transaction, or approve a contract to use tokens. These are different actions. Review each request in the wallet before confirming it.
What is the difference between connecting a wallet and approving a token?
Connecting usually gives an application your selected public address and lets it request further actions. A token approval is a separate on-chain transaction that permits a specified contract to use a token up to a chosen limit. For example, an EVM liquidity pool may ask for a USDC approval before the actual deposit. Check the site, network, token, approved contract, and allowance before signing. Cancel the request if you do not want to proceed.
Does closing a website or disconnecting revoke an approval?
No. Closing the page or disconnecting does not revoke token-use permissions you have already granted on-chain. Ethereum, Base, and other EVM networks use token approvals. Solana token accounts can also delegate a limited amount to another address. The mechanisms differ, but disconnecting a site does not revoke either kind of signed permission. If you only connected and never signed an approval or delegation, there is no on-chain permission from that connection to revoke.
For Ethereum and other EVM networks, start with Ethereum.org's guide to reviewing and revoking approvals and choose a tool that supports the network in question. Enter your wallet address, select the network where you approved the token, and check the contract, token, and allowance. To revoke one, connect the wallet controlling that address and sign a revocation transaction; a network fee applies. You may need to approve the token again when you next use that application.
Solana delegations are attached to the relevant token account and do not appear in an Ethereum approval list. Solana's documentation explains the delegation and revocation mechanism. If you are unsure which delegation you signed, save the relevant transaction hash and contact us through Feedback in the DeGate app.
What if I may have connected to a fake website?
Stop signing and save the URL and hashes of any transactions you already signed. If you only connected, use the site or wallet's connection controls to disconnect. If you also approved tokens, review the on-chain approvals as described above. If you entered a recovery phrase into an unfamiliar site, treat that phrase as exposed and move assets you still control to a new, secure wallet as soon as possible. DeGate support will never ask for your recovery phrase.
