While using delegate, specifically this one function uses 18 decimals inputs truncated to 6 decimals. Basically, you do something like:

10.123456789 -> 10.123456 -> parseEther(10.123456)

Best practice would be to always have amount.toFixed(6) -> parseEther(fixedAmount)

We need to change from having 6 decimals in delegate function to 18 decimals which is truncated to 6 decimals
