Remove Users Admin Wallet from Precompiles
Hands-on exercise: Remove Users Admin Wallet from Precompiles
Objectives
By the end of this exercise, you will be able to:
- Use the Console UI to manage AllowList roles
- Remove your own wallet from Admin on both allowlist precompiles
- Understand why this can lock you out (and why upgrades exist)
Prerequisites
Before starting this exercise, ensure you have:
- An L1 running with both precompiles enabled from genesis
- Your wallet currently has Admin role on both allowlists (from genesis)
Instructions
Step 1: Open the allowlist consoles
These consoles expose the AllowList interface for the two precompiles.

Step 2: Remove your wallet from Admin on both precompiles
For each precompile:
- Find your connected wallet address in the UI
- Change its role from Admin → None (or remove Admin role)
- Confirm the transaction in Core Wallet
Once you remove your own Admin role, you may no longer be able to grant permissions back — that’s the point of this exercise.
Step 3: Confirm your role is gone
After each transaction, refresh the UI and verify readAllowList(yourAddress) now resolves to None for both precompiles.
Expected Output
Your wallet no longer has Admin rights on:
- Transaction AllowList
- Contract Deployer AllowList
Verification
To verify you've completed this exercise successfully:
- The console UI shows your wallet has role None (or non-admin) on both precompiles
- You can no longer use the UI to re-add yourself as Admin
Troubleshooting
I don’t see my wallet / role doesn’t update
- Make sure you’re connected to the correct L1 network in Core Wallet
- Wait for the transaction to confirm, then refresh the component
Next Steps
Next we’ll prove you’re locked out by attempting a transaction and a contract deployment.
