Wallet Client API reference

The following API methods are related to the Viem Wallet Client.

grantPermissions

Requests permissions from the MetaMask extension account according to the ERC-7715 specifications.

info

To use grantPermissions, the Viem Wallet Client must be extended with erc7715ProviderActions.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
chainId	number	Yes	The chain ID on which the permission is being requested.
address	Address	No	Address of the wallet to which the permission is being requested.
expiry	number	Yes	The timestamp (in seconds) by which the permission must expire.
permission	Permission	Yes	The permission to grant to the user.
signer	Signer	Yes	The account to which the permission will be assigned.
isAdjustmentAllowed	boolean	No	Whether the user is allowed to modify the requested permission. The default is true.

Example

• example.ts
• config.ts

import { sepolia as chain } from "viem/chains";
import { walletClient } from "./config.ts";

const expiry = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000 + 604_800); // 1 week from now.
const currentTime = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000); // now

// Address of the wallet that will manage the session. It can 
// be either a smart account or an externally owned account (EOA)
const sessionAccount = "0x1431..";

const grantedPermissions = await walletClient.grantPermissions([{
  chainId: chain.id,
  expiry,
  signer: {
    type: "account",
    data: {
      address: sessionAccount,
    },
  },
  permission: {
    type: "native-token-stream",
    data: {
      initialAmount: 1n, // 1 wei
      amountPerSecond: 1n, // 1 wei per second
      maxAmount: 10n, // 10 wei
      startTime: currentTime,
      justification: "Payment for a week long subscription",
    },
  },
}]);

import { createWalletClient, custom } from "viem";
import { erc7715ProviderActions } from "@metamask/delegation-toolkit/experimental";

export const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  transport: custom(window.ethereum),
}).extend(erc7715ProviderActions());

sendTransactionWithDelegation

Sends a transaction to redeem delegated permissions according to the ERC-7710 specifications.

info

To use sendTransactionWithDelegation, the Viem Wallet Client must be extended with erc7710WalletActions.

Parameters

See the Viem sendTransaction parameters. This function has the same parameters, and it also requires the following parameters:

Name	Type	Required	Description
delegationManager	0x${string}	Yes	The address of the Delegation Manager.
permissionsContext	0x${string}	Yes	Encoded calldata for redeeming delegations. If you're not using ERC-7715, you can use the redeemDelegation utility function to generate the calldata manually.

Example

• example.ts
• config.ts

import { walletClient, publicClient } from "./config.ts";

// These properties must be extracted from the permission response. See
// `grantPermissions` action to learn how to request permissions.
const permissionsContext = permissionsResponse[0].context;
const delegationManager = permissionsResponse[0].signerMeta.delegationManager;
const accountMetadata = permissionsResponse[0].accountMeta;

if (accountMetadata?.length !== 0) {
  // If the granted permission contains accountMetadata, this must be executed before attempting to 
  // redeem the delegation.

  // This transaction will deploy the delegator account.
  const hash = walletClient.sendTransaction({
    to: accountMetadata[0].factory,
    data: accountMetadata[0].factoryData,
  });
  
  // You should wait for transaction to be successfully executed.
  // You can use the TransactionReceipt.status to verify the state.
  await publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt( { hash });
}

const hash = walletClient.sendTransactionWithDelegation({
  chain,
  to: "0x70997970c51812dc3a010c7d01b50e0d17dc79c8",
  value: 1n,
  permissionsContext,
  delegationManager
});

import { http, createPublicClient, createWalletClient } from "viem";
import { generatePrivateKey, privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { sepolia as chain } from "viem/chains";
import { erc7710WalletActions } from "@metamask/delegation-toolkit/experimental";

export const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain,
  transport: http()
});

// Your session account for requesting and redeeming should be same.
const privateKey = "0x...";
const account = privateKeyToAccount(privateKey);

const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  transport: http(),
  chain,
}).extend(erc7710WalletActions());
