Create a new spending limit that allows controlled token spending from your Smart Account.

​
Key Concepts

  • Limit Configuration: Set maximum amount and reset period
  • Token Specification: Define which token the limit applies to
  • Transaction Signing: Requires approval from authorized signers

​
Important Notes

  • Amount must be greater than zero
  • Period can be DAY or WEEK
  • Transaction must be signed by enough signers to meet threshold
  • The same token can have multiple spending limits with different periods
  • For native SOL, set token_address to 11111111111111111111111111111111
