ERC-7702: The Game-Changer for Deposit Wallets Nobody's Talking About

by Toshi, Lead Developer

If you've ever run a crypto exchange, web3 casino, or any service that generates deposit addresses for users, you know the pain. Every single deposit wallet needs ETH for gas. Every. Single. One. It's like running a fleet of cars where each one needs its own gas can, even though they're all heading to the same garage.

We've built something that changes everything. After months of R&D, we've created a production-ready ERC-7702 implementation that's already processing millions in daily volume for our clients.

The Current Nightmare: How Deposit Wallets Work Today

Picture this: You're running a crypto exchange. User #47291 wants to deposit USDT. Here's what happens behind the scenes:

  1. Generate a new wallet address for the user
  2. Wait for their deposit
  3. Send ETH to that wallet for gas fees (hope you calculated right!)
  4. Execute a transaction to sweep the tokens to your hot wallet
  5. Pray the gas doesn't spike mid-transaction
  6. Repeat for thousands of wallets daily

The traditional approach requires multiple transactions, gas distribution headaches, and constant monitoring. You're managing ETH balances across potentially thousands of wallets. It's capital inefficient, operationally complex, and when gas spikes, you're scrambling to top up wallets before angry users flood your support channels.

Enter ERC-7702: EOAs With Superpowers

ERC-7702 lets regular Ethereum accounts (EOAs) temporarily delegate their execution logic to smart contracts. Think of it as giving your deposit wallets a temporary brain upgrade – they can now execute complex logic without being full smart contracts.

But here's where it gets interesting: you can batch operations across multiple wallets without needing any ETH in those wallets at all.

Our Solution: One Transaction to Rule Them All

We've engineered a system that leverages ERC-7702's delegation mechanism to completely eliminate gas distribution. Here's how our BatchCallAndSponsor implementation works:

// From BatchCallAndSponsor.sol
contract BatchCallAndSponsor {
    using ECDSA for bytes32;

    uint256 public nonce;

    struct Call {
        address to;
        uint256 value;
        bytes data;
    }

    function execute(Call[] calldata calls, bytes calldata signature) external payable {
        // Compute the digest that the account was expected to sign.
        bytes memory encodedCalls;
        for (uint256 i = 0; i < calls.length; i++) {
            encodedCalls = abi.encodePacked(encodedCalls, calls[i].to, calls[i].value, calls[i].data);
        }
        bytes32 digest = keccak256(abi.encodePacked(nonce, encodedCalls));

        bytes32 ethSignedMessageHash = MessageHashUtils.toEthSignedMessageHash(digest);

        // Recover the signer from the provided signature.
        address recovered = ECDSA.recover(ethSignedMessageHash, signature);
        require(recovered == address(this), "Invalid signature");

        _executeBatch(calls);
    }
}

The key insight here is that when an EOA delegates to this contract via ERC-7702, it can execute batched calls with just a signature, eliminating the need for gas in each wallet.

The Magic of Our CombineCalls System

Our CombineCalls orchestrator enables bulk execution across hundreds of wallets simultaneously:

// From CombineCalls.sol
contract CombineCalls is Ownable {
    function bulkExecute(address[] calldata targets, uint256[] calldata values, bytes[] calldata data)
        external
        onlyOwner
        returns (bytes[] memory returnData)
    {
        uint256 length = targets.length;
        returnData = new bytes[](length);

        for (uint256 i = 0; i < length;) {
            address target = targets[i];
            uint256 value = values[i];
            bytes calldata callData = data[i];

            (bool success, bytes memory ret) = target.call{value: value}(callData);
            if (!success) {
                revert CallFailed(i, ret);
            }
            returnData[i] = ret;

            unchecked {
                ++i;
            }
        }
    }
}

Real-World Implementation: How We Sweep Thousands of Wallets

Our production system orchestrates complex sweeps with surgical precision. The architecture handles:

  • Parallel authorization management for new wallets joining the system
  • Dynamic balance detection across native ETH and unlimited ERC-20 tokens
  • Atomic batch execution with automatic rollback on any failure
  • Smart fee extraction configurable per platform requirements
  • Real-time monitoring with detailed transaction analytics

The result: hundreds of wallets swept in a single transaction, with zero gas distribution required. What used to take hours of processing and thousands in gas fees now happens in seconds for pennies.

The Real Benefits Go Beyond Gas Savings

While the gas savings are substantial, the true transformation comes from operational excellence:

Atomic Execution = Zero Failures

The traditional approach's biggest weakness? Partial failures. You send ETH to a wallet for gas, but by the time you try to sweep, gas prices spike and the transaction fails. Or worse, you successfully sweep some wallets but others fail mid-batch, leaving you with inconsistent state.

With ERC-7702 and atomic batch execution, it's all or nothing. Either every wallet in the batch gets swept successfully, or the entire transaction reverts. No partial states, no manual cleanup, no reconciliation nightmares.

Operational Simplicity

The mental overhead of managing deposit wallets disappears:

  • No ETH inventory management - Stop tracking gas balances across thousands of wallets
  • No gas price monitoring - Your sweeps execute regardless of network congestion
  • No stuck transactions - Atomic execution means clean success or clean failure
  • Instant retry capability - Failed batch? Just retry, no cleanup needed
  • Simplified auditing - One transaction hash to track hundreds of sweeps

Speed and Scalability

  • Parallel processing - Sweep 100 wallets as easily as sweeping 1
  • Real-time deposits - Process user deposits in the same block they arrive
  • Dynamic scaling - Add new wallets to the sweep network instantly
  • Network-agnostic efficiency - Works equally well on L1 or L2s

The Secret Sauce: ERC-7702 Authorization

What makes this system powerful is the authorization mechanism that enables gasless operations. Through ERC-7702's delegation model, wallets authorize our smart contract to execute operations on their behalf. This one-time authorization means:

  • No gas needed in deposit wallets - ever
  • Indefinite sweep capability without re-authorization
  • Bulletproof security through cryptographic signatures
  • Automatic failover if network conditions change

Once a wallet is authorized, it becomes part of the sweep network permanently, ready to be included in any batch operation without requiring any ETH for gas.

What This Means for Different Platforms

Crypto Exchanges

No more hot wallet gas management complexity. Focus on what matters: liquidity and trading infrastructure. The single-transaction sweep means faster processing and happier customers.

Web3 Casinos

Instant deposit processing without the gas overhead. Players can deposit and start playing immediately, while you sweep funds in efficient batches.

DeFi Protocols

Enable micro-transactions and small deposits that were previously uneconomical. Open up your protocol to a whole new tier of users.

Payment Processors

Process thousands of payments in a single transaction. The efficiency gains make micropayments viable on mainnet.

The Evolution: Why We Chose ERC-7702

During our R&D phase, we evaluated three approaches:

  1. Basic Proxy Wallets: Traditional approach - functional but expensive and complex
  2. Enhanced Proxy Wallets: Improved capabilities but still requires gas distribution
  3. ERC-7702 Implementation: Our breakthrough - single transaction sweeps with zero gas distribution

After extensive testing and optimization, the results speak for themselves. Our ERC-7702 solution isn't just an improvement – it's a complete reimagining of deposit infrastructure.
