There are several use cases for this:

  • Treasury Account: Transferring assets on demand.
  • Minting Account: Minting assets on demand.
  • Escrow Account: Hold assets or tokens in an escrow between players and transferring them afterwards.

Requisites#

Developer account pay for gas using either:

  • Support ERC-2771 transactions: The assets you want to escrow need to support ERC-2771 transactions (i.e. gasless).
  • Funding a backend wallet: You need to fund your developer account with the chain's native token.

  2. Sign the explorer message.
  3. Add the wallet address used to deposit native tokens.

Optional: Custom forwarder contract#

By default you can use the supported forwarder contracts from Openfort if you need.

Alternatively, you can also use your forward contract in order to sponsor the transaction of your backend wallet. Go to your Gas policy section and create a policy by adding the address of your Forwarder contract address.
