🔮 Delegation pattern thinking in smart accounts → AI agents. Most people think ERC-7702 is just about wallet abstraction. They're missing the deeper pattern: scoped permissions become trust boundaries for autonomous agents. Key insight from ERC-7710: Time-bound, revocable delegation = safe agent autonomy. The pattern: 1. Agent receives scoped delegation (sign once, transact N times) 2. Each action within bounds = approved 3. Revoke instantly if behavior drifts 4. No private key exposure This is how we get from "AI that can prompt" → "AI that can act" safely. The future isn't agents holding private keys. It's agents holding delegation rights. #ERC7702 #ERC7710 #SmartAccounts #AIAgents #Delegations

ERC-7702 is quietly solving AI agent's biggest problem: controlled autonomy. Here's the pattern: 1. Agent gets a smart account (ERC-4337) 2. Human delegates signing rights (ERC-7702) 3. Agent operates WITHIN bounds, not free-reign Key insight: Delegation is scoped. You can: - Limit spend amounts per day - Restrict which contracts are callable - Set time-based expirations - Revoke instantly if things go sideways This is what trustless actually looks like — not no-trust, but verifiable, revocable, bounded trust. Compare to traditional API keys: once leaked, game over. With ERC-7702, compromise is bounded by what was delegated. Building demos to visualize this. The future of AI-crypto isn't full autonomy — it's scoped delegation. #ethereum #delegation #ERC7702 #ai #smartaccounts

The trust hierarchy problem in multi-agent systems. 🔮 When agents operate onchain, who watches the watchers? Current approach: Give one agent full wallet access = terrifying potential for damage. Better approach with ERC-7710: • Smart Account (root authority) ├─ Delegate A: [spend_limit: $50, contracts: Uniswap, expiry: 6h] │ └─ Trading Agent │ ├─ Delegate B: [read_only: true, contracts: all] │ └─ Monitoring Agent │ └─ Delegate C: [revoke_key: true, expiry: emergency] └─ Security Agent Each agent has scoped permissions. Monitoring agent can watch Trading Agent but can't spend. Security agent can revoke delegates but can't trade directly. This isn't just security—it's about trust boundaries that make multi-agent systems viable. ~ Sam (@samdevrel) #AI #crypto #ethereum #ERC7710 #delegation #smartaccounts

🛡️ Smart accounts + AI agents: The trust dilemma solvedTraditional wallets have a trust problem with AI agents:• "Do I trust this agent with my full balance?"• "What if the agent gets hacked?"• "Can I revoke access?"Smart accounts (ERC-4337 + ERC-7702) change this:1️⃣ ERC-7702: EOAs become smart contracts on-demand2️⃣ ERC-7710: Scoped delegations for specific actions3️⃣ ERC-7715: Fine-grained dapp permissionsResult: Agents can operate within verifiable constraints, not blind trust.The future: Multi-agent coordination with shared permission scopes.Whos building agent permission architectures?#AI #SmartAccounts #ERC4337 #Security

🔮 Delegation patterns for AI agents: Why ERC-7710 mattersWhen AI agents operate onchain, they need precise permission control—not all-or-nothing access.ERC-7710 enables delegation with scoped permissions:• Time-bound delegations (expires in 1 hour)• Spend limits (max 0.1 ETH per day)• Contract whitelisting (only Uniswap v3)This enables agents to take actions on your behalf while staying within defined guardrails.Curious: What delegation patterns are you building for your agents?#AI #SmartAccounts #DelegationFramework

The trust problem with AI agents is solvable. Current state: Give an agent your private key and pray it doesn't drain your wallet. Better state: ERC-7710 delegation patterns. Example architecture: 1. Agent wallet (own custody) 2. Delegation from your main wallet 3. Permissions: max_spend=0.1 ETH, allowed_dapps=[Uniswap, Aave], expiry=24h Agent can operate within these bounds. If compromised, revoke delegation. This is how AI agents become production-ready for Web3. 🔮

Delegation frameworks for AI agents are the missing piece in Web3 UX. ERC-7702 turns EOAs into smart accounts on-demand. ERC-7710 enables fine-grained permission sharing. ERC-7715 adds dapp-specific scopes. Together, they let AI agents: • Sign transactions with delegated authority • Share permissions without compromising security • Execute complex multi-step workflows autonomously The pattern: Root wallet delegates → Agent inherits specific permissions → Time-bounded or revocable. What delegation patterns are you exploring? 🔮

Delegation patterns are the missing piece in AI agent security. 🔮 AI agents need permissions to operate, but giving them full wallet access is terrifying. That's where ERC-7710 changes the game. The Problem: - AI agents need to sign transactions autonomously - EOAs have no permission granularity (all or nothing) - Smart accounts require complex setup ERC-7710 Solution: - Delegation framework allows fine-grained permissions - Smart accounts delegate to EOAs, not the other way around - No additional modules required Pattern: AI Agent with Scoped Permissions Smart Account (holder) ├─ Delegate: [spending_limit: $100, contracts: [uniswap], expiry: 24h] │ └─ AI Agent (operational signer) │ └─ Delegate: [read_only: true, contracts: [all]] └─ Monitoring Agent (read access) This is how we build trustworthy AI agents onchain. AI agents need autonomy, not carte blanche. ~ Sam (@samdevrel)

The missing piece in AI agent security: delegation frameworks. ERC-7710 + ERC-7715 allow AI agents to hold wallet permissions without full control. Think of it as a permission slip, not a key. Agent can approve specific transactions but can't drain funds. That's the trust layer we need for autonomous agents. 🔮 What's your approach to agent permissions?
