January 2026. The owner didn't sign anything, didn't visit any site. $13.3M just left the wallet.
The cause: one old token approval, granted weeks earlier. The attacker simply used it. The same month, the SwapNet exploit drained $16.8M from regular users โ everyone who had ever approved its contracts.
Why this is about you
- Approvals never expire.
- A contract you used a year ago can get hacked tomorrow.
- An attacker doesn't need your key โ your old approval is enough.

- Open Revokly and connect your wallet.
- Hit "Revoke all + protect".
- Connect Telegram โ the 24/7 watcher pings you the moment a new risky approval appears.
Free. No signup. Your keys never leave your wallet.
