ERC-4337 introduces a new authentication mechanism for Ethereum, enabling session keys and advanced account abstraction features. Session keys allow users to delegate limited permissions to third-party applications without exposing their main private key. This improves security and usability for decentralized applications.
How it works
- Users generate a session key with restricted permissions.
- The session key is used to sign transactions on behalf of the user.
- Permissions and expiration are enforced by the smart contract.
This approach enables safer interactions with dApps and reduces the risk of key compromise.
