ALCX Transactions failing?

Sebsuth

The last two transactions I have attempted with ALCX (metamask, sushiswap + staking on OndoFinance), the transactions have been confirmed on etherscan, but value of ETH is showing as 0.

The ALCX has remained in my wallet and I have been charged gas fees.

Any ideas would be super appreciated!

Sorry, I think I have just found the answer to my question - you need two transactions to make a new contract - one to approve one to run.

Apologies for being a noob, but really, what a huge stinking pile of BS 😆

Yes this is how defi works; you have to give a third party your approval so it can handle your funds in your name and do stuff with it. Bad UX, I know, but currently there's no smoother way to do this.

For v2 we have a better set of UI elements planned that'll make it clear at every step what still needs to be done to finish the task which was started by a user. Hopefully that'll make it much clearer and less confusing.
