Revoke.Cash Makes Token Revocations Gas Free

With Candide InstaGas, Revoke increases user protection with zero gas.

For years, Revoke has provided a public good for individuals around the world to navigate the complex landscape of smart contract permissions, acting as a critical tool for "wallet hygiene." By allowing users to easily view and revoke token approvals, Revoke.cash helps prevent asset drain attacks, mitigate risks from compromised dApps, and provide a much-needed layer of control in a decentralized ecosystem.

However, even the most essential security actions can be hampered by the persistent friction of gas fees. Revoking a permission, while crucial, often meant users had to contend with having enough native tokens in their wallet, leading to delays or, worse, inaction. Revoke.cash recognized this barrier and sought a solution that would make security not just available, but truly effortless.

“While it's now possible to batch unlimited revokales," explains Rosco Kalis, CTO of Revoke, "the showstopper is always the same: if you're out of native tokens for gas, you simply can't act.

‍The Revoke Imperative: Security Without Friction

The team at Revoke observed a clear challenge:

The Native Token Hurdle: Users frequently lacked the native token (e.g., ETH on Ethereum, MATIC on Polygon) required for gas. This often meant an extra, cumbersome step of going to an exchange, swapping tokens, and then transferring them to the correct wallet – a significant barrier to security.
User Experience Friction: Even minor hurdles like needing to top up a wallet with native tokens for gas could postpone a critical security action, turning a simple revoke into a multi-step chore.
Growing Risk Debt: The cumulative effect of unrevoked, potentially unlimited permissions created a hidden liability that needed to be addressed proactively, not reactively, but the token acquisition process stood in the way.

Their goal was ambitious: to remove every ounce of friction from the revocation process, ensuring that safeguarding one's digital assets was as simple as a click, regardless of market conditions. This vision required a robust, reliable, and invisible solution for gas abstraction.

A key factor in Revoke.cash's decision was the ease of integration and the granular control offered by Candide InstaGas. The Revoke.cash team was able to:

Define Gas Policies: Through Candide's dashboard, Revoke precisely configured which types of transactions would be sponsored, on which networks, and under what conditions. This granular control allowed them to tailor the gasless experience perfectly to their exact use case.
Minimal Codebase Changes: InstaGas adheres to existing Ethereum standards, which meant Revoke.cash didn't need to add a specialized library or specific Candide-specific code. They were able to leverage their existing viem library, requiring only minor adjustments to their codebase.

"Implementing gasless revocations was a significant goal for us, but finding a solution that was both powerful and easy to integrate was key. Candide InstaGas allowed us to set up precise gas policies through their dashboard with very minimal changes to our existing codebase." Rosco Kalis, CTO of Revoke.cash

Revoke.cash's success with Candide InstaGas offers clear lessons for any Dapp builder aiming to boost user experience and foster stronger security practices:

Partner with a team that truly understands your unique needs. Candide didn't just offer an API; we worked closely with Revoke.cash to tackle the specific challenges of gas fees impacting their users' critical security actions.
Choose a tool that's intuitive from day one. The power of gas abstraction shouldn't come with complexity. Revoke.cash's ability to set precise gas policies via our dashboard, with minimal codebase changes, highlights this. As Rosco says: "If a tool requires a manual, something's gone wrong."
