End User Accounts

Create account-scoped delegation for end user

Changed on Oct 6, 2026

Creates an account-scoped delegation that allows a developer to sign on behalf of an end user for a single blockchain account (identified by its address) for the specified duration. The end user must be authenticated to authorize this delegation. Multiple account-scoped delegations may exist concurrently for a single end user (one per canonical account address). Account-scoped and user-scoped delegations cannot coexist for the same user. When the address corresponds to an EVM Smart Account, the delegation is scoped to the Smart Account's owner EOA rather than the Smart Account address itself. This means /address/{smartAccountAddress}/delegation and /address/{ownerEoaAddress}/delegation resolve to the same delegation, and the 409 account_scoped_delegation_active error may be returned when creating via either address if one already exists for the canonical owner.

Example:0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e

The blockchain address of the end user account to scope this delegation to. Format varies by network (e.g., 0x-prefixed for EVM, base58 for Solana). For EVM addresses, matching is case-insensitive.
