General Changes

forapprovedAmount
values retrieve from the user, to avoid app crash.Developer Notes
Bug Explanation
A user account tried to repay their debt in USDT. The app was crashing when they attempted to input a value to repay in the modal.
The following log was retrieved:

Our useApprovalTx hook was not expecting “infinite approvals” and was trying to use parseUnits() on a huge number in scientific notation, which caused the crash. We’ve now replaced it with valueToBigNumber() to properly handle numbers in scientific notation and convert them to plain numbers without decimals.
