MetaMask Delegation Toolkit documentation

Why use the toolkit?

The MetaMask Delegation Toolkit enables developers to create frictionless new experiences based on granular permission sharing and trust. The toolkit offers a suite of contracts, libraries, and services designed for maximum composability, allowing developers to build and extend their dapps with ease. The toolkit enables:

• Instant user onboarding. Provide frictionless onboarding with no browser extension, mobile app, or seed phrase required.

• New web3 experiences. Unlock new experiences such as peer-to-peer social coordination using incentive trees, or recurring subscription payments that don't require users to connect to the dapp.

• Uninterrupted user experiences. Keep users immersed in the dapp by embedding the wallet experience and reassigning gas costs to where they make sense.

The toolkit includes the Delegation Framework – a pioneering set of open-source, customizable smart contracts, allowing dapps and protocols to implement custom permission control. Developers can use the Delegation Framework to prepare their dapps for delegations created from delegator accounts.
