Introduction to the Risks page

Utila’s Risks page surfaces risky exposures, including token approvals

Updated over a month ago

Web3 wallets often accumulate hidden risks,such as lingering token approvals that give external addresses ongoing access to funds. These exposures, especially when granted with unlimited allowances, are a common attack path and difficult to track at scale.

The Risks page provides a clear, actionable view of these threats. Click Risks in the left navigation menu to open the Risks page. You can review all outstanding allowances and revoke unnecessary or high-risk permissions.

  1. Create filters to find the approvals you need to revoke.

  2. Turn on the Only unlimited amount switch to show possibly excessive or unlimited approvals.

  3. The token allowances table shows you all the token approvals you have that fit your filter.

    Whenever one of your wallets has an outstanding token allowance, for example, after signing an approve transaction on a token to allow a swap transaction on Uniswap, it appears in the Token Approvals table.

    The token approvals table provides detailed information for each approval, including:

    1. When granted – when the allowance was originally created

    2. Approver – the wallet that granted the allowance

    3. Spender – the address that received the allowance. If not already in your Address Book, we strongly recommend adding it and creating a corresponding transaction policy rule

    4. Token details – the token, blockchain, and allowance amount (unlimited allowances are listed before limited ones)

    5. Initiator – the Utila user who created the transaction that granted the approval
