How do I approve a contract on MetaMask?
- I used WETH for our example: ...
- Press Write Contract.
- Press connect to metamask (if not connected)
- After connection to metamask.
- Press approve.
- Enter 0 into the Value in ETH field.
- Click the Write button and you will be prompted by MetaMask to approve the transaction.
- Once approved, your tokens can now be used within Set Protocol.
To use a smart contract, you must 1) permit it to validate your token balance, and 2) allow it to transfer the number of tokens that you wish to trade from your wallet. As a real-life example, think of the token approval process similar to an artist (user) selling their artwork (token) in a gallery (Matcha).
Via the “set approval for all” command, smart contracts are granted permission to approve and transfer tokens from your wallet at a later date. That includes NFTs. In the case of NFT marketplaces, this command enables the marketplace to transfer NFTs from your wallet to a third party upon the completion of a sale.
...
Please note that an approval is needed for each different contract, including:
- Aggregation Protocol.
- Limit Order Protocol.
- Liquidity Protocol (Both Providing Liquidity and Farming)
- Governance Staking.
setApprovalForAll is an important (and dangerous!) transaction for decentralized marketplaces to function. The approval you are granting is for the delegated contract to be able to approve transfers for a token.
In short: permission for a dapp to access and move a specific type of token from your wallet. These prompts will often appear in MetaMask if you're a frequent user of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and DeFi in general.
Users simply need to access BSC Scan's Token Approval Checker, where they will be prompted for their wallet address (as can be seen below). From there, users are invited to revoke any approvals unfamiliar to them.
- Verify and publish under Code tab. Verify Contract Code. ...
- Verify Contract Code. ...
- Before clicking on the Verify And Publish button, kindly complete the reCAPTCHA and the contract should be verified.
- Sample from ZRX Token.
To approve the transaction, tap on 'Confirm'. Your transaction will automatically be submitted to the Binance Smart Chain network and once approved on the blockchain network, you will receive the tokens in your Trust Wallet. You can then proceed to confirm that the tokens received are what you exchanged.
What happens if you send tokens to contract address?
What if I sent tokens to a contract address? Unfortunately, there is no guarantee anyone can retrieve your tokens if you sent them to a contract address. A contract address is not a repository of tokens; it is essentially a computer program, a set of code, that performs some function on the blockchain.
When using a decentralized exchange to sell ERC20 tokens, there are two transactions necessary to get your order on the books. The first step is to approve the tokens on the exchange, and then you can set the price and amount of token which you want to sell.
Alternatively, you can use Approved. Zone, which does precisely the same. By presenting all token approvals, these tools allow you to edit or delete the allowance amounts and thus protect you from malicious dapps that could spend tokens without your consent.

Approved Spender. Sponsored. The Token Approvals page lists contracts that have been approved to spend an address's tokens. The at risk amount shows what is vulnerable if the contracts were hacked. Learn more about this page in our Knowledge Base.
Limited Token approval is the safest method of transacting, requiring users to provide approval each time a smart contract needs to transact on their behalf. This gives users greater control over each transaction they submit to the blockchain.

FACT: MetaMask allows users to sign smart contracts and interface with Ethereum dApps (distributed Ethereum-based applications) without running a full Ethereum node. In short this means you don't have to download the Ethereum blockchain to use the Ethereum network, which is good, because the blockchain file is huge.
