Hide spam allowances

Fake allowance revocation scamsters trick Web3 users into thinking they're securing their wallets by revoking transaction permissions. In reality, these actions often can drain the funds in the affected wallet and trigger high gas fees - that benefits the scammers, not the user.

These hoaxes exploit the legitimate revoke function in Web3 wallets (such as those managed in Fordefi's platform), turning a security feature into a trap.

Instead of revoking these spam allowances, you can simply hide them. That way, you do not accidentally revoke them and remain protected from fraud.

To hide scam allowances, disable the Show spam tokens toggle at the top of the allowances list:
