How this service works
How much a spender (router, Permit2, protocol) is approved to move from an owner's ERC-20 balance, with an unlimited-approval flag. Use to check approvals before a swap or to audit risky approvals.
Output
Returns the current allowance amount (in token units), whether the approval is unlimited (max uint256), the token symbol, chain, owner, and spender addresses. Useful for determining whether a swap can proceed or whether a potentially dangerous blanket approval exists.
Example use cases
Pre-swap approval verification
“Before I swap on Base, can you check if the Uniswap router 0x2626664c2603336E57B271c5C0b26F421741e481 has enough USDC allowance from my wallet 0xMyWallet1234 to cover a $500 trade?”
Unlimited approval security audit
“I want to audit my wallet 0xAbCd5678 on Arbitrum — check if the Permit2 contract 0x000000000022D473030F116dDEE9F6B43aC78BA3 has unlimited approval to spend my DAI.”
Protocol allowance check before investment
“Can you look up how much USDT the Aave v3 pool contract 0x87870Bca3F3fD6335C3F4ce8392D69350B4fA4E2 is allowed to move from my address 0xMyWallet9999 on Ethereum?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://bess-x402.onrender.com/v1/evm/allowance?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, on-chain lookup of ERC-20 spending approvals before executing a swap, bridging, or DeFi interaction, or when auditing a wallet for risky unlimited approvals. It supports major EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon) and accepts human-readable token symbols like USDC/USDT/DAI in addition to raw addresses.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-checksummed token/owner/spender address returns an error
- Unsupported chain name returns a validation error
- Token address that is not an ERC-20 contract returns an error or zero allowance
- Network timeout or RPC node unavailability causes a failed response
- Querying a token with no deployed contract on the specified chain returns zero or error
