# dApp permission

## Definition

A dApp permission is an authorization that lets a decentralized application request access to wallet accounts, chains, signatures or contract actions within the limits of the wallet or connection protocol.

## What it means in practice

Permissions can exist at connection level, token-contract level or inside the dApp's own smart contracts.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

In Terenval, a compatible dApp connection through WalletConnect does not transfer custody of private keys; the user still sees requests that require wallet approval.

**Important:** Connection permission is not a blanket guarantee of safety; review token approvals and signature requests separately.
