Setting a token allowance

When initiating a token swap for the first time from a wallet, you will be prompted to set a token allowance:

Unlimited

Allows Permit2 to access your entire token balance for future swaps without requiring further allowance approvals.

Exact amount

Allows Permit2 to access only the swap amount. Future swaps will require a new token allowance to be approved.
