About Approvals​

Note

You can read some more about approvals in the FAQ section.

Here are a few rule of thumbs when it comes to approvals:

  1. An approval is valid for a specific order type of a specific market.

    💡 For example, if you approved a BUY market order for the WETH/USDC market, this approval is not valid for SELL market orders for that same market. You have to approve again.

  2. Approvals accumulate.

    💡 For example, if you approve buy market order for weth/usdc market with a 1000 USDC and perform a market order for 100 USDC, you have 900 USDC in approved balance. If you perform the same action again ("Approve & Buy"), you'll have 1800USDC of approved balance.

  3. If your pre-approved amount is used up, your order will fail.

  4. An easy way around this is to perform an infinite approval.
