Smart Account System

// Hybrid implementation with MetaMask Delegation Toolkit
const smartAccount = await toMetaMaskSmartAccount({
    implementation: Implementation.Hybrid,
    deployParams: [ownerAddress, [], [], []],
    deploySalt: salt,
    signer: { walletClient }
});

Delegation Framework

Utilizes @metamask/delegation-toolkit to create limited permissions:

• Restricted Scope: Only the MONORAIL_AGREGATE function is allowed
• Smart Caveats: Time, amount, and balance change restrictions
• Multi-layer Security: Signature verification for each delegation
• Subscription Support: Recurring execution permissions with frequency limits

Batch Operations Engine

• Multi-call Aggregation: Combine multiple token approvals and swaps into single transactions
• Gas Optimization: Reduced gas costs through batch processing
• Quote Validation: Pre-execution quote verification and fallback handling
• Token Whitelisting: Verified token prioritization for enhanced security

Gas Optimization

• Integration with Pimlico for gas sponsorship
• Bundler client for user operation handling
• Paymaster integration for gasless transactions
• Batch gas savings for multiple operations

🔒 Security Analysis

Security Features

Delegation Caveats:

• limitedCalls: Limits the number of executions (crucial for subscriptions)
• allowedTargets: Only the Monorail contract is allowed
• timestamp: Time-based execution restrictions
• balanceChange: Verification of balance changes

Smart Account Protection:

• Fund isolation through separate smart accounts
• Salt-based account generation
• Deployment verification
• Subscription limit enforcement (max 5 per account)

Batch Convert Security:

• Token verification and whitelisting
• Maximum value limits per batch
• Quote validation before execution
• Automatic failed token deselection

Transaction Safety:

• Slippage protection
• Minimum output guarantee
• Deadline enforcement
• Duplicate subscription prevention

Risk Mitigation

// Enhanced caveats for subscription security
const caveats = [
    {
        type: "erc20BalanceChange",
        tokenAddress: toToken.address,
        recipient: smartAccount.address,
        balance: BigInt(quote.min_output),
        changeType: BalanceChangeType.Increase,
    },
    {
        type: "limitedCalls",
        limit: subscriptionData.totalExecutions, // Fixed execution count
    }
];

⚠️ Error Handling

Common Error Scenarios

1. Insufficient Balance

Detection: Before delegation creation
Action: Show error, suggest amount adjustment
Recovery: User can reduce amount or cancel

2. Quote Failure

Detection: During quote fetching
Action: Retry 3x with exponential backoff
Recovery: Show error, allow manual retry

3. Signature Rejection

Detection: During wallet signing
Action: Clear pending state
Recovery: User can retry signing

4. Execution Failure

Detection: During on-chain execution
Action: Mark delegation as FAILED
Recovery: Refund gas, notify user, allow retry

5. Slippage Exceeded

Detection: Before execution
Action: Skip execution, mark as SKIPPED
Recovery: Notify user, wait for next interval

6. Network Congestion

Detection: High gas prices
Action: Queue for later execution
Recovery: Execute when gas drops below threshold
