Definition
A token approval sets an allowance that lets a specified spender transfer a defined amount of an ERC-20 token on the owner’s behalf.
Simple example
Approving a swap contract for 100 tokens does not move them immediately. It lets the contract call transferFrom later within that limit.
Often confused with
Disconnecting a website session does not automatically revoke an onchain approval.
