Delegated Signing Authority Setter

WHAT IT DOES

Delegated Signing Authority Setter is a developer tool that lets you manage delegated signing authority for smart accounts and contracts. Delegated signing enables designated signers to act on your behalf with specific permissions — for example, a delegate can execute transfers, swap tokens, or stake assets within defined limits. This tool reads the current delegated signers, permissions, and expiry times from the authority contract, then allows you to add new delegated signers, update their permissions, or revoke their authority — all in a single transaction. You can specify granular permissions (e.g., transfer, swap, stake) and set an expiry time, giving you fine-grained control over delegated access. The tool provides a preview of the signer, action, permissions, and expiry before you execute, enabling secure and transparent delegation management.

HOW TO USE

Connect your EVM wallet via the BGWallet bridge. Enter the delegated authority contract address and the signer address you want to manage. Select the action — Add Delegated Signer, Update Permissions, or Revoke Signer. Enter the permissions as a comma-separated list (e.g., transfer, swap, stake) and set the expiry period in days. Click "Preview Authority" to see the contract address, signer, action, permissions, expiry date, and estimated gas cost. Review the details carefully — granting delegated signing authority gives the signer significant control. Click "Set Authority" to sign and broadcast the transaction. The tool provides a transaction hash for tracking and confirms the delegation update.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM

The tool reads the current delegated signers and permissions from the authority contract using view functions like `getDelegatedSigners()` or `hasPermission(signer, action)`. It validates that the signer address is properly formatted and that permissions are recognized by the contract. When executing, the tool encodes a transaction to the authority contract's delegation management functions — typically `addDelegatedSigner(signer, permissions, expiry)`, `updateDelegatedSigner(signer, permissions, expiry)`, or `revokeDelegatedSigner(signer)`. The tool uses the contract's ABI to encode the call and submits it via the connected wallet. The entire operation is atomic — if the delegation update fails, the transaction reverts and the delegation state remains unchanged. The tool estimates gas using `estimateGas` and displays the estimated cost before execution.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool cannot guarantee that the delegated signing authority will be recognized by all dApps or that the permissions will be enforced if the smart contract implementation changes. Different smart account and contract implementations have different delegation standards — some may not support granular permissions, while others may use different permission formats. The tool cannot predict upgrades to the authority contract that may change the delegation management interface. Additionally, the tool cannot verify that the dApps you use will recognize the delegated signer or its permissions. Always test delegated signers with the specific dApps you intend to use and check the authority contract's documentation for supported permissions. This tool is an aid for delegation management, not a guarantee of compatibility with all dApps.

PLEASE NOTE

EVM chains only. This tool relies on the BGWallet connector and will not function on Solana, Tron, Starknet, SUI, TON, Aptos, Bitcoin, Cosmos, or XRP. The user is responsible for ensuring the supplied authority contract address is correct and that the contract supports delegated signing management functions. Not all smart account implementations support delegated signing — check your protocol's documentation first. Granting delegated signing authority gives significant control to the signer — only delegate to trusted parties.
