Account-Code Delegation Needs More Than a Token-Allowance Review

Some wallet requests concern code that can execute in an account’s context. That is a broader category of authority than a conventional allowance for a particular token and spender.

Identify the kind of authorization

EIP-7702 describes authorizations that let an externally owned account point to delegated code. It discusses batching and sponsorship among possible uses, together with security considerations for delegate implementations. Do not interpret such a request as an ordinary website connection or a one-token spending limit. A friendly label such as account upgrade does not explain which implementation receives authority or what it can do.

Check implementation and network scope

Review the exact delegation target, account, applicable chain context and authorization nonce using the wallet’s current documentation. The standard permits a special zero chain identifier with broader applicability, so do not assume every authorization is limited to the currently displayed network. A protocol specification also does not establish that a particular wallet, chain or website supports the feature correctly. Unfamiliar delegation details justify stopping for further review.

Understand persistence and sponsorship separately

Delegation can persist after the transaction that installs it; it is not necessarily limited to a single visible application action. Gas sponsorship concerns who pays for processing and does not remove the consequences of account authority. EIP-7702 explicitly discusses secure delegate behavior, replay protection and binding relevant operation details. A sponsor’s branding or a zero-fee display cannot establish that these security properties were verified.

Do not substitute a token revocation checklist

Checking ERC-20 allowances alone cannot establish that account-code delegation has been removed or is harmless. Account implementation review and wallet-specific recovery procedures are separate work. This educational guide creates no authorization, chooses no delegate and offers no delegation-management tool. RunixCoin’s public form remains limited to Base WETH-to-USDC estimates with execution unavailable; this page makes no claim that account delegation is implemented or verified here.
