Token approval

Definition: A token approval is an on-chain permission that allows another address or smart contract to spend a specified amount of a user's token under that token contract's rules.

Many ERC-20 dApps need an approval before they can swap, deposit or otherwise move tokens on behalf of the user.

How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

When Terenval presents an approval request from a compatible dApp, users should inspect the token, spender and allowance before signing.

Important: An unlimited approval can remain active after the immediate transaction and may create future risk if the spender is compromised.
