A DeFi App Can Show Lending Positions Without Authorizing Deposits
A wallet connection alone does not authorize a deposit. Withdrawals depend on protocol rules and whether assets are available.

A DeFi app's interface presents a view of a lending position stored onchain, while protocol rules and available assets determine whether funds can be withdrawn.
Linking a wallet to an app does not itself authorize a deposit into a lending protocol. The app can display a position, but that display does not determine when funds can be withdrawn.
Wallet connections and token approvals are separate. An approval can allow an app to transfer approved tokens, and disconnecting a wallet does not remove permissions already granted; the permissions work separately.
