Smart accounts with scoped permissions
Build smart accounts with modular permissions that define who can act, under which conditions, and through which execution path.
THE QUESTION IT ADDRESSES
How can delegated keys have limited authority?
A concise reading of published information. The explanatory grouping below is editorial, not an implementation test.
A simplified mechanism
- Choose a signer and permission policies.
- Execute eligible actions through the Kernel account.
What it does not establish
A permissive policy can still grant broad access. Chain and account-version compatibility must be checked.
Where it fits
An account implementation using standards such as ERC-4337 and EIP-7702, rather than a payment protocol.
