ERC20 代币转移到智能合约

Question

Hi I've written a simple smart contract to transfer erc20 token from user to smart contract and from smart contract to user. I'm approving it before calling the transferFrom function but the transactions fails. I've tried only calling approve and not calling transferFrom it works. I'm testing on rinkeby testnet.

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity =0.7.6;
pragma abicoder v2;

interface IERC20 {
    function totalSupply() external view returns (uint256);
    function balanceOf(address account) external view returns (uint256);
    function allowance(address owner, address spender) external view returns (uint256);
    function transfer(address recipient, uint256 amount) external returns (bool);
    function approve(address spender, uint256 amount) external returns (bool);
    function transferFrom(address sender, address recipient, uint256 amount) external returns (bool);
    event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 value);
    event Approval(address indexed owner, address indexed spender, uint256 value);

}

contract transferToContract {
    address public _WETH = 0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984;
    IERC20 public WETH = IERC20(_WETH);

    function transferToC (uint amount) public
    {
        WETH.approve(msg.sender,amount);
        WETH.transferFrom(msg.sender,address(this),amount);
    }
    
    function transferFromC(uint amount) public{
        WETH.approve(address(this),amount);
        WETH.transferFrom(address(this),msg.sender,amount);
    }
    
    function getbal() public view returns(uint){
        return WETH.balanceOf(msg.sender);
    }
    
    
}

I'm testing on remix with web3 injected. The error I'm getting is

Gas estimation errored with the following message (see below). The transaction execution will likely fail. Do you want to force sending?
execution reverted: Uni::transferFrom: transfer amount exceeds spender allowance { "originalError": { "code": 3, "data": "0x08c379a00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003c556e693a3a7472616e7366657246726f6d3a207472616e7366657220616d6f756e742065786365656473207370656e64657220616c6c6f77616e636500000000", "message": "execution reverted: Uni::transferFrom: transfer amount exceeds spender allowance" } }

Also I have the token in my test wallet on rinkeby testnet and I'm deploying using remix web3 injected.

Answer 1

WETH.approve(msg.sender,amount);

This line approves the user to spend your contract's tokens. Not the other way around.

If you want to approve the contract to manipulate the user's tokens, the user needs to execute approve(yourContractAddress, amount) directly on the WETH contract (not through your contract).
