Inspect an Ethereum EIP-7702 delegation before approving a wallet request

Inspect an Ethereum EIP-7702 delegation before approving a wallet request

An EIP-7702 authorization can let an externally owned account use delegated code. That is materially different from sending ETH or transferring a token, so a payment flow should not hide the authorization inside a generic signing prompt.

EIP-7702 defines a transaction type with an authorization list and explains chain, address and nonce fields. The specification is technical and does not assess the safety of a particular delegated contract.

Classify the requested action

Read whether the wallet is showing a transfer, contract call, typed-data signature or EIP-7702 authorization. Do not rely on a button labeled continue or verify.

Capture the decoded fields without publishing private account information. The proposal supports identifying the authorization as a distinct action, checking its chain and target address and understanding that account behavior can change after delegation.

Match the chain identifier to the intended network and compare the full delegated-code address with an independent source. Review the authorization nonce and expiry behavior shown by the wallet. Stop when any field is hidden or unexpectedly broad.

Check chain, nonce and delegate address

Match the chain identifier to the intended network and compare the full delegated-code address with an independent source. Review the authorization nonce and expiry behavior shown by the wallet.

Stop when any field is hidden or unexpectedly broad. It cannot audit contract code, identify the business behind a prompt, ensure wallet display quality, recover stolen assets or show that delegation is required for a SignalBet payment.

Read the project's description, audit evidence and supported removal process before signing. Treat the authorization as a change to account behavior rather than a one-time payment receipt. A familiar interface does not substitute for contract review.

Understand what the delegated code can do

Read the project's description, audit evidence and supported removal process before signing. Treat the authorization as a change to account behavior rather than a one-time payment receipt.

A familiar interface does not substitute for contract review. Reject unexplained delegation, verify the requesting origin and contract through independent documentation and approve only when the purpose, scope and removal path are understood.

A receiving account normally needs a transfer transaction and credited amount, not control over unrelated wallet actions. Ask verified support why delegation would be necessary. Never approve it merely to release a pending withdrawal.

Separate payment evidence from delegation

A receiving account normally needs a transfer transaction and credited amount, not control over unrelated wallet actions. Ask verified support why delegation would be necessary.

Never approve it merely to release a pending withdrawal. A deposit or bonus message should not create urgency to delegate wallet behavior. Leave the account and payment paused when the prompt cannot be explained clearly.

Disconnect the site, preserve the transaction or signature evidence and use trusted wallet guidance to inspect current delegation. Move carefully if keys or permissions may be exposed. Report the incident without accepting private recovery offers.

Contain an authorization you do not recognize

What the official source supports

Ethereum Improvement Proposal 7702: The proposal supports identifying the authorization as a distinct action, checking its chain and target address and understanding that account behavior can change after delegation.

Where the source stops

It cannot audit contract code, identify the business behind a prompt, ensure wallet display quality, recover stolen assets or show that delegation is required for a SignalBet payment.

Make the documented decision

Reject unexplained delegation, verify the requesting origin and contract through independent documentation and approve only when the purpose, scope and removal path are understood.

A deposit or bonus message should not create urgency to delegate wallet behavior. Leave the account and payment paused when the prompt cannot be explained clearly.

Run a final evidence review before acting

EIP-7702 defines a transaction type with an authorization list and explains chain, address and nonce fields. The specification is technical and does not assess the safety of a particular delegated contract. Review these checkpoints in order: Classify the requested action; Check chain, nonce and delegate address; Understand what the delegated code can do; Separate payment evidence from delegation; Contain an authorization you do not recognize. Leave an unanswered item visibly unresolved instead of replacing it with a guess.
