// Sample wallet data - replace with your wallet in production
const sampleWallet: { publicKey: string; encryptedPrivateKey: string } = {
  publicKey: "0x123...yourPublicKeyHere",
  encryptedPrivateKey: "encrypted:key:data" // This would be encrypted data in production
};

export function ApproveForm() {

  • Stake - Requires prior approval
  • Transfer - For moving tokens after approval

:::warning Approvals are specific to each token-contract pair. You’ll need to re-approve when interacting with new contracts. :::
