Managing credits and allowances

The credits are the units used to allocate resources.

Credits are simple ERC20 tokens, they can be transfered from one account to another.

If one account wish to pull tokens from an other account, it must ask for an allowance first. DeepSquare uses allowances to be allowed to bill a user once a job is finished. When submitting a job, the user agree to allocate some credits. This is the allowance. It is also possible to set the allowance manually. For security reasons, we recommend that the allowance is set as the lowest as possible (i.e. the allowance must be 0).

Using as a CLI​

dps credit transfer [command options] <0x recipient address> <amount>

The unit of the amount is credits. If you wish to use wei, set the --wei flag.

Getting and Setting the allowance
