Summary

Wallet Allowance also known as Token Approvals grants a dApp or smart contract permission to access or spend a user's asset to carry out a specific transaction.

In the Gala Games and Entertainment Platform, users are required to approve specific Wallet Allowances to interact with the app. These user-granted allowances will permit the platform to use a person's assets for a specified purpose. 

In Ethereum's Blockchain, users are prompted in the Gala Platform to approve transactions such as purchasing an NFT or enabling tokens to be bridged to GalaChain.

In GalaChain, users are prompted to approve wallet allowances such as allowing NFTs to be used on specific games. These user-granted allowances enable the game to use their assets streamlining the game experience while keeping the user's assets safe.
