Smart Contracts Behind The Scenes: Reverse Engineering The “Approve” Function

Hey guys!

Today I am super excited to post this first video in a special series of videos that I am going to make. We are going to reverse engineer some smart contracts of PancakeSwap Platform in order to get a deep understanding of how the day-to-day functions that we use on the platform work on the backstage.

​

Here is the video:

​

I believe that understanding how DEFI apps work, is very important for several reasons:

1. It involves real money and you want to know what going on there

2. It's interesting

3. You can get more DEFI education and avoid scam and fraud projects that way

4. You can build your own DEFI app in the future 😉

​

In the first video in the series, we will analyze and reverse engineer the Approve function that exists everywhere in DEFI Dapps and PancakeSwap in particular.

​

We will understand today:

1. What is the Approve function and how it works

2. Why it's important

3. How to revoke given access for smart contracts from spending your tokens.

​

Please let me know what you think about these kinds of videos and if it was helpful!

Thanks <3
