Miscellaneous
The ultimate goal of a smart account is to be able to sponsor gas fees for your users, while providing a signless and gasless experience.
They also work with any wallet provider as the EOA, but it is recommended to use a signless wallet, like In-App Wallets, for the best experience.
You would then be able to login to the exact same persistent EOA and smart account address across your apps, and even across different platforms.
You can also create session keys (revokable), allowing new signers to interact with the smart account without being the admin. You may also add/remove admins.
Additional Options
Smart accounts, through paymasters, can be seen as a "plugin" to your user wallets, whereby all gas fees can be sponsored onchain.
To enable this, simply set the gasless
option to true in your ThirdwebManager prefab.
All smart accounts are deployed through an Account Factory, which is a contract that deploys smart accounts on behalf of your users. You would need to set this address in your ThirdwebManager prefab's settings as well.
