If you have used the "Claim" mini app by @criticalcrypto, I would recommend using the "Smol Frame" mini app by @horsefacts.eth to revoke WETH allowances you may have approved in the Claim mini app. My understanding is that "All WETH" approvals were requested without any malicious intent by the mini app's creator, to enable a small and reasonable 3% fee for the app's users, and they have since removed this from the app's core flow which allows users to bulk claim fees from any clankers they have launched (this is actually a useful function!). The Claim mini app is the winning link from today's $QR auction, so when a user flagged this All WETH approval request, we went into emergency mode to try to ensure the protection of $QR mini app users, and Farcaster users more broadly. Even though ultimately users are responsible for the approvals and transactions they execute and everyone knows you need to be careful in crypto, we would like to help protect users from bad situations if and when we are able to do so. So in an abundance of caution, we temporarily slashed the winning link (using the $QR website itself as a placeholder) while we worked with @dish from the Farcaster team to confirm the project/founder was non-malicious. He knew them better than we did and got them to quickly rollback the change which asked users to approve spending for All WETH. Again, while one can never be certain, we have come to the conclusion that this approval was requested without any malicious intent, and so we have re-instated them as the winner of today’s auction so that they will still get the vast majority of their day’s worth of attention. We will reimburse the winning bidder proportionally for the minutes (we'll round up to an hour) when we had them slashed as the winner. When I used this mini app previously, the approve WETH step was not involved, and it worked quite well, so if you used it, you may very well have not have approved this either. If you did give the approval, again, i I would recommend you use the Smol Frame mini app by @horsefacts.eth below to revoke the approval you may have given here (or for any other mini app using your Farcaster wallet while you're at it). Thank you to @dish and @vlady of @criticalcrypto for your responsiveness and quick actions in helping us to ensure the safety of not just $QR mini app users but all farcasters (this was already a top 10 trending mini app before winning today’s auction, and aside from this scare, when I used it to claim my clanker rewards it worked well!). I don't want to discourage people from trying it. As with all of our auction winners, I'd like you to engage. Just please be extra careful now and always that you are not giving any approvals you do not want to give. Thank you for your continued trust in and support of $QR. https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/bzs-XgtfmjIw/smol-frame
