Smart Sessions

Smart Sessions is a feature in Reown AppKit that allows users to grant decentralized applications (dApps) permission to perform specific blockchain actions on their behalf for a defined period of time. This eliminates the need for users to manually approve each transaction, enhancing the user experience by enabling seamless and automated interactions.

When can you leverage Smart Sessions?

1. Uninterrupted User Experience: Users can authorize transactions to occur in the background, reducing friction and enhancing engagement, especially in contexts like gaming or decentralized finance (DeFi).

2. Enhanced Automation: Web3 apps can automate routine tasks such as token swaps, staking, or loan repayments without requiring user intervention for each action.

3. Flexible Permissions: Users can specify which functions a dApp is allowed to execute, the duration of the permissions, and other conditions, providing fine-grained control over delegated actions.

​

How It Works

• Permission Granting: The user connects their wallet (e.g., via email) and grants the dApp permission to perform certain actions by approving a grantPermissions request.

• Server Interaction: The dApp’s backend server can then execute the authorized functions on behalf of the user by signing transactions using a predefined key pair.

• Transaction Execution: The server prepares and sends the transactions to the blockchain, and can monitor their status to confirm successful execution.

​

Example Use Cases

• Recurring Payments: Automate subscription renewals without requiring user approval each time.

• Automated Trading: Set up limit orders or dollar-cost averaging strategies that execute based on predefined conditions.

• In-Game Transactions: Allow games to perform actions like purchasing items or allocating resources without interrupting gameplay.
