# Ad Allowance

While creating an Ad, it is essential to grant allowance in order to permit the smart contracts to access and transfer tokens on your behalf.

Typically, you only need to do this once till you exhaust the spending cap limit for the coin you've granted allowance on the smart contract.

### How to grant Ad allowance

To grant Ad allowance, click on "Post Ad" on the Ad overview page.
