What is Allowance Guard?

Allowance Guard is a non-custodial security platform that provides comprehensive oversight of your wallet's token approvals across multiple blockchain networks. Built to PuredgeOS clarity-first standards, it empowers users to identify, assess, and neutralize security risks posed by forgotten or malicious token allowances. The platform serves as a critical security infrastructure for the Web3 ecosystem, helping users maintain control over their digital assets while navigating the complex landscape of decentralized applications.

Key Features

Comprehensive Network Coverage

Full support for Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base networks with continuous expansion to additional EVM-compatible chains based on user demand and security considerations.

Advanced Risk Intelligence

Real-time threat intelligence powered by rule-based algorithms that identify unlimited approvals, malicious contracts, anomalous patterns, and high-risk spender addresses.

Token Discovery & Curation

Comprehensive token database with fuzzy search, categorization, and community-driven curation. Discover tokens across multiple chains with advanced filtering and relevance scoring.

Non-Custodial Security

Complete user control with no custody risk. All transactions are executed directly from your wallet with your explicit approval. We never hold your private keys or funds.

Gas-Optimized Operations

Batch revocation capabilities and smart contract optimization to minimize gas costs while maximizing security effectiveness through efficient transaction batching.

How It Works

1. Connect & Scan: Securely connect your wallet using industry-standard protocols. We read public blockchain data to identify all token approvals associated with your address across supported networks.

2. Analyze & Assess: Our risk engine evaluates each approval using multiple heuristics including allowance amounts, contract reputation, time since last interaction, and threat intelligence data.

3. Review & Understand: View your complete security posture in a clarity-first dashboard that presents actionable information without jargon or confusion.

4. Act & Secure: Revoke risky approvals with one-click operations that execute directly from your wallet, maintaining complete control over your assets.

5. Monitor & Protect: Set up autonomous monitoring and alerts to maintain continuous security oversight and receive notifications about new approvals or changes.
