Revoking Access#

In Manual mode there's nothing to revoke: Ava prepares transactions and you sign each one yourself. This page is about Auto mode, where Ava acts on its own inside an agent permission you signed.

Stopping Auto mode happens in Ava Studio, not in Telegram. If you ask Ava in chat, it will point you there.

Three levels of off switch#

What you want to stop	How
One job, keeping its permission	Pause it on the Running page
Everything a permission allows	Disable the permission on the Wallets page
Everything Ava can do on your wallet	Undo your wallet's upgrade

Pause a job#

1. Open Ava Studio and go to Running.
2. Find the job and press Pause.

A paused job stops running until you resume it. The same page has an on/off switch for Ava Guardian monitoring.

Revoke a permission#

1. Open Ava Studio and go to Wallets.
2. Pick the wallet and choose Edit permissions.
3. In the Agent permissions window, press Disable on the capability.

What happens next:

• Ava stops using the permission right away. Every job and action that relied on it stops.
• Studio then asks your wallet to remove it on-chain. This is a normal transaction, so you pay gas. If it fails, or the permission is on another network, a Finish on-chain removal button appears — use it.
• Until that removal goes through, the permission stays installed on your wallet with its original expiry. Finishing the removal is what takes it off the chain.

If you disable one capability while others stay enabled, Studio asks you to sign an updated permission with the ones you kept.

Undo your wallet's upgrade#

If you turned on Auto for your own wallet, you upgraded it once (EIP-7702) so it could hold agent permissions. Undoing that upgrade turns it back into a plain wallet, so Auto can no longer run on it on that network. It's one transaction from your wallet.

Undoing the upgrade doesn't erase the permissions stored on your wallet. If you might upgrade again later, disable your permissions and complete their on-chain removal first — otherwise any that haven't expired could become active again.

If you use a separate Ava smart wallet instead, you can also Withdraw everything back to your main wallet from the Wallets page. With nothing in it, there's nothing for Ava to spend.

What stopping does not do#

• It doesn't move your funds. They stay in your wallet.
• It doesn't delete your Telegram chat history with Ava.
• It doesn't turn off alerts. To stop alerts, switch off Ava Guardian monitoring on Running, or turn off notification channels in Settings.

If something looks wrong#

If you see a transaction you don't expect, or you're not sure and want to be safe, stop first, investigate later: undo your wallet's upgrade (or disable every permission on Wallets), then look into it. You can set everything up again afterward.
