# Restore tokens

Restoring a token returns it from the denylisted state to the allowlisted state. Use this when you need to re-enable a previously blocked token.

## What happens when you restore a token

When you restore a token:

- The token moves from the denylisted tab to the Assets Management screen.
- Token balances become visible in account views.
- You can create transfer orders using the token.
- Historical transfers involving this token become visible.


Restoring a token returns it directly to the allowlisted state, not to unclassified. This is because the token was previously validated before being denylisted.

## Restore a token

To restore a denylisted token:

1. Go to **Settings** and then **Assets Management**.
2. Click **Manage unclassified or denylisted**.
3. Click the **Denylisted** tab.
4. Find the token you want to restore.
5. Click **Allow** at the end of the token row.
6. Review the confirmation dialog.

7. Click **Submit for Approval**.
8. On your mobile device, open the Ripple Custody Auth & Sign app and [sign the intent](/products/custody/v1.34/ui/get-started/key-operations/intent-signature).


You can only restore one token at a time. You must submit individual intents for each token.

## Confirmation dialog

The confirmation dialog displays:

- "Allowing this asset will enable transfers and display it across all accounts."*
- A reminder that you are restoring a previously denylisted token.


## Review the intent payload

Before signing, you can expand the intent payload (labeled "Unlock Asset") to review the JSON. This includes:

| Field | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| Asset details | Token name, symbol, and contract address |
| Ledger | The blockchain where the token exists |
| Action | The operation being performed (`v0_UnlockTicker`) |
| Intent ID | The unique identifier for this request |


## After restoring

The tokens are restored when the intent is successfully executed. The tokens now appear in the Assets Management screen and are visible throughout the UI.
