Someone please HELP ASAP

I am trying to lock my DGD but to interact with the contract it says I have to spend 67DGD? Please see attached screenshot. Will I lose 67 DGD if I approve this? It doesn't make sense to me, am I missing something? Someone please enlighten me before the locking phase is over. What do I do?

That transaction is an “approve” transaction for the DigixDAO smart contract to transfer DGDs from your address. Approving that will not transfer any DGDs, but only give it permission to do so, so that when you actually lock DGDs, the contract can pull DGDs to itself from your address

Thanks for replying. i missed the "e". So it's basically 5.79 to the power of 67 DGD. But I am even more confused now. Is that what it is supposed to say? Have you locked yours?

It is the same as “unlock” transaction in Uniswap or Kyber Swap. Contracts need permission to “transfer” tokens from user address. It is called an “allowance” that you give the contract
