HOW TO REVOKE DAPP PERMISSIONS IN PHANTOM FOR BETTER SECURITY

Every time you connect your Solana wallet to a dApp, whether it's a swap site, staking platform, or NFT marketplace, you give that website permission to view or interact with your wallet.

Over time, these old connections can pile up and increase your security risk.

Phantom makes it easy to review and revoke dApp permissions, ensuring that only trusted websites have access to your wallet.

Here's how to do it safely in just a few clicks.

Step 1: Open the Phantom Wallet

1. Launch the Phantom browser extension or mobile app *If needed, enter your password to unlock your wallet

Step 2: Go to Settings

1. Click on your profile icon (top left on mobile) or the gear icon (bottom right on desktop) to open Settings *This is where you'll find all privacy, network, and connection controls

   

Step 3: Open "Connected Apps"

1. In the Settings menu, scroll and select "Connected Apps"

2. This page lists every dApp or website you've ever connected to using Phantom

3. You'll typically see names like:

   • Jupiter

   • Magic Eden

   • Meteora

   • Solend

   • Tensor

     

     Each listed connection represents an active permission granted to that site.

Step 4: Review and Revoke Access

1. Carefully go through the list of connected dApps

2. For any site you no longer use or don't fully trust:

   • Click or tap the trash bin icon (or "Revoke" button on mobile)

   • Confirm the revocation when prompted

     

     Phantom will immediately remove that site's ability to interact with your wallet.

You can revoke as many connections as you want, there are no fees and no waiting time.

Step 5: Confirm the Cleanup

1. After removing access, return to the main wallet screen

2. If you reconnect to one of those websites in the future, Phantom will ask for permission again *This ensures that no dApp can interact with your funds unless you explicitly approve it

Step 6: Make It a Regular Habit

1. Checking your connected apps once a month helps keep your wallet secure

2. It's especially important if you've:

   • Tried multiple DeFi or NFT sites

   • Used testnet or beta projects, or

   • Clicked wallet pop-ups on unfamiliar links

Revoking access is a simple way to reduce exposure to phishing or malicious contracts.

Tips

• Phantom never charges fees for revoking access

• You can safely revoke all sites, reconnect only when needed

• Always double-check URLs before reconnecting any wallet

• Consider enabling auto-lock in Phantom for added protection

Conclusion

Your wallet's security depends on the permissions you grant.

By regularly reviewing and revoking dApp access in Phantom, you ensure that only trusted platforms can interact with your funds.
