Class AllowanceExtensions

Creates approved allowance(s) allowing the designated agent to spend crypto and tokens from the originating account. Presently the owning account must be the Payer (operator) paying for this transaction when submitted to the network.

Declaration

public static Task<TransactionReceipt> AllocateAllowanceAsync(this ConsensusClient client, AllowanceParams allowanceParams, Action<IConsensusContext>? configure = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ConsensusClient	client	The Consensus Node Client orchestrating the update.
AllowanceParams	allowanceParams	Parameters containing the list of allowances to create.
Action<IConsensusContext>	configure	Optional callback method providing an opportunity to modify the execution configuration for just this method call. It is executed prior to submitting the request to the network.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<TransactionReceipt>	A TransactionId record indicating success, or an exception is thrown.

Examples

// Grant `spender` the right to spend up to 5 HBAR from `owner`.
// Owner must be the client's Payer — allowances always originate
// from the transaction payer. Setting Amount = 0 revokes the grant.
var receipt = await client.AllocateAllowanceAsync(new AllowanceParams
{
    CryptoAllowances = new[]
    {
        new CryptoAllowance(owner, spender, 500_000_000) // 5 HBAR
    }
});
Console.WriteLine($"Allowance status: {receipt.Status}");
