About Us

Revokes was created in 2019 by Rosco Kalis. Back then DeFi and smart contracts were still in their infancy, but there was a lot of active development in the space. One thing that projects had in common was that they required users to grant an approval to spend their tokens – and often the amount was unlimited. There were no established tools to revokes these approvals, which is how Revokes was born.

For several years Rosco maintained Revokes as a side project while he worked for different companies in the web3 space. But in the past years web3 has grown and the need for proper security tools has become more apparent. That is why Rosco decided to focus on Revokes full-time in 2022. Since then he has expanded the Revokes toolset with the Revokes browser extension and launched a completely overhauled version of the approvals dashboard.

Today Revokes is maintained and developed by Rosco and a small team of independent contractors and is funded by donations and grants. We see Revokes as a piece of essential web3 infrastructure, which is why our tools are open source and free to use. We also value sustainability and independence, so we are looking to generate sustainable revenue without raising VC funding or launching a token.
