CANDIDE Wallet provides control over assets without seed phrases by leveraging account abstraction. Each account in CANDIDE Wallet is a smart contract, which allows for programmability and flexibility. Unlike traditional wallets like MetaMask, CANDIDE Wallet is not limited by design. Additionally, CANDIDE Wallet offers the ability to add Recovery Contacts in case of lost access to the wallet. This means that users can securely self-custody their assets without relying on seed phrases for control.
To add Recovery Contacts for wallet access recovery in CANDIDE Wallet, the owner of the account can add recovery methods, also known as Guardians. These recovery methods can be family members or close friends with Ethereum accounts, hardware wallets, or institutions. The owner decides the threshold for the number of guardians needed for recovery and the number of guardians. For example, a typical single-owner account can have 3 guardians with a threshold of 2. When a user loses access to their wallet, they can reach out to their recovery contacts or methods to sign a transaction to recover their account. The privacy of the owner is taken into consideration, and owners are encouraged to add fresh recovery addresses to maintain privacy and prevent malicious contacts from cooperating against the owner. Additionally, a recovery contact does not need to store value in their account to fulfill their duties during the recovery process. CANDIDE Wallet has a default threshold of the majority (> 50%) to make the recovery process more straightforward on its interface.
In CANDIDE Wallet, there are two payment options available for gas fees. The first option is subsidized, which allows users to pay only a discounted gas price. The second option is to pay with the native ERC-20 token of the wallet. Additionally, Paymaster Contracts can be customized to allow for specific methods, minimum deposits, or lock durations. Users do not need to worry about gas limits or prices as the Paymaster automatically reprices transactions for prompt execution.
