All Kwikswap pool tokens support meta-transaction approvals via the permit function. This obviates the need for a blocking approve transaction before programmatic interactions with pool tokens can occur.
In vanilla ERC-20 token contracts, owners may only register approvals by directly calling a function which uses msg.sender
to permission itself. With meta-approvals, ownership and permissioning are derived from a signature passed into the function by the caller (sometimes referred to as the relayer). Because signing data with Ethereum private keys can be a tricky endeavor, Kwikswap relies on ERC-712, a signature standard with widespread community support, to ensure user safety and wallet compatibility.

name
is always Kwikswap
, see name.chainId
is determined from the ERC-1344 chainid
opcode.address(this)
is the address of the pair, see Pair Addresses.keccak256('Permit(address owner,address spender,uint256 value,uint256 nonce,uint256 deadline)');`
