Infinite Approval

When you approve a smart contract to spend unlimited amounts of a token from your wallet.

Definition

When you approve a smart contract to spend unlimited amounts of a token from your wallet. Most DeFi apps request this so you don't have to approve every single transaction. But if that contract gets hacked, the attacker can drain all approved tokens. Use revoke.cash to check and remove risky approvals.
