Account Abstraction
Use Engine to deploy, manage, and transact with smart accounts on behalf of your users.
Deploy an account factory
To deploy smart accounts (referred to as "accounts" from here on), deploy an AccountFactory
contract. This contract handles deploying individual Account
contracts for your users.
Endpoint: POST /deploy/<chain>/deployer.thirdweb.eth/AccountFactory
Payload:
Deploy user accounts
Once the factory is set up, deploy accounts for your users.
Endpoint: POST /contract/<chain>/<account_factory_address>/account-factory/create-account
Body:
This adds the adminAddress
as the primary admin that can act on behalf of the newly deployed account.
To control the account with a backend wallet, specify the backend wallet in the adminAddress
field.
Grant permissions and sessions
Grant & revoke admins on an account with the /contract/<chain>/<account_address>/account/admins
endpoints.
Grant & revoke sessions on an account which allow specific wallets to interact with specified contracts for a given period of time with the /contract/<chain>/<account_address>/account/sessions
endpoints.
Transact with an account
Make write calls with a smart account by calling a write endpoint and specify the x-backend-wallet-address
and x-account-address
headers.
The x-backend-wallet-address
should be set to the engine backend wallet that is an admin over the account.
The x-account-address
should be set to the deployed account address itself.
Write calls made using these headers will initiate a UserOperation
sent from the specified account.
