Unlimited vs. specific approval

  • Omit amount: Grants unlimited approval. The AKKA Router can spend any amount of this token. Recommended for frequent swapping — you only need to approve once.
  • Set amount: Grants approval for exactly this many tokens (in wei). More secure, but requires a new approval transaction each time the allowance is consumed.

​
Using the response

Sign and submit the returned transaction object to the blockchain: 
const hash = await walletClient.sendTransaction({
  to: approveTx.to,     // Token contract address
  data: approveTx.data,  // Encoded approve() calldata
  value: BigInt(approveTx.value), // Always "0"
});

await publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt({ hash });
Wait for the approval transaction to be confirmed before calling the swap endpoint.
