At their simplest, Doughnuts are Proofs of Delegation between two or more cryptographic keypairs. Doughnuts let us prove that one address delegates something to another address.
Doughnuts let us:
- Easily sign in and out of DApps without using centralised services
- Give untrusted DApps limited permissions on-chain
- Fully permission the public blockchain, achieving optimal user-safety
- Separate who pays the transaction fees from who sent the transaction
- Share access to our accounts and tokens in a protected and managed way
- Create legal contracts or agreements that are written off-chain but execute on-chain
- Improve overall access control for both decentralised services and the centralised services that run alongside them
- And more
