Flutter (Dart) - AA

​

Account Abstraction for Flutter

Particle Network’s AA SDK offers a mechanism for facilitating full-stack ERC-4337 account abstraction, leveraging built-in infrastructure modularity without compromising simplicity. Paired with Particle Auth or Particle Connect for seamless onboarding, the Particle Network AA SDK presents itself as a key method for building high-quality UX within applications built using Flutter.

​

Repository

All Particle Network Flutter SDKs, including the AA SDK for Flutter, are open-source in the particle-flutter repository on GitHub, with each including demos/examples. It may be worthwhile taking a look at the AA Flutter SDK’s architecture and implementation flow before continuing to build some context.

​

Getting Started

Before jumping in, you’ll need to already have setup either Particle Auth or Particle Connect within your Flutter project (the AA SDK doesn’t work on its own, requiring one of the two to function). If you don’t have either of these already implemented, read through those pages and follow the outlined steps, then return to continue.

With either of these SDKs set up, you can move on to adding particle_aa to your Flutter project through the following command:

flutter pub add particle_aa

​

Initialization

The Particle Network AA SDK will fail to function correctly until it has been initialized. Initialization allows you to specify a smart account implementation and version, alongside the Paymaster you’d like to use. This can be initiated through ParticleAA.init, which takes the following parameters:

• name, the smart account implementation to be used (any of these choices):
  • AccountName.BICONOMY_V1, a Biconomy smart account.
  • AccountName.BICONOMY_V2, a Biconomy smart account.
  • AccountName.CYBERCONNECT, a CyberConnect smart account.
  • AccountName.SIMPLE_V1, a SimpleAccount implementation.
  • AccountName.SIMPLE_V2, a SimpleAccount implementation.
  • AccountName.LIGHT, a Light Account implementation.

Once init has been called, you can close off initialization by enabling AA mode with ParticleAA.enableAAMode.

// Support BICONOMY_V1 | BICONOMY_V2 | CYBERCONNECT | SIMPLE_V1 | SIMPLE_V2 | LIGHT
ParticleAA.init(AccountName.BICONOMY_V2());

ParticleAA.enableAAMode();

​

Examples of Utilization

​

Is Deployed

Now that you’ve initialized the AA SDK, you can move onto several methods to utilize it. First, it’s important to note that the smart account implementation you chose will be automatically deployed with the first transaction it initiates. The deployment transaction will be bundled (batched) in with the first transaction.

However, if you’d like to check the deployment status of a given smart account manually, you can first retrieve the host address with Evm.getAddress, then pass that into ParticleAA.isDeploy, which returns a Boolean indicating deployment status.

E.g.:

final eoaAddress = await Evm.getAddress();

var isDeploy = await ParticleAA.isDeploy(eoaAddress);

​

Disable AA Mode

If you’d like to exit AA mode and thus disable account abstraction functionality within your application, you’ll need to call ParticleAA.disableAAMode. This will immediately render the usage of AA incompatible. Additionally, if you’re unsure whether or not AA mode is enabled, you can call ParticleAA.isAAModeEnable, which will return a Boolean representing this status. E.g.:

ParticleAA.disableAAMode();

var result = await ParticleAA.isAAModeEnable();  

​

Send Transaction

Sending a transaction (UserOperation) is as simple as calling pre-existing methods within ParticleConnect or Evm in particle_auth_core and just passing in an additional parameter, feeMode. There are two ways to send transactions with the AA SDK: The first is with signAndSendTransaction of sendTransaction , which will send a singular transaction to the network. Alternatively, you can use batchSendTransactions to send batched transactions within a single UserOperation.

ParticleConnect.signAndSendTransaction or Evm.sendTransaction in particle_auth_core takes the following parameters:

• For Particle Connect, walletType, dictates the specific adapter being used/targeted.
• account, the public address of the smart account sending the transaction, which can be retrieved through EvmService.getSmartAccount.
• transaction, a stringified standard transaction object.
• feeMode, the mechanism to be used for paying gas fees, can be:
  • AAFeeMode.gasless, for sponsored transactions. This will happen automatically for Testnets and will pull from your previously defined (or configured) Paymaster for Mainnets. Takes one parameter:
    • wholeFeeQuote, which can be retrieved through ParticleAA.rpcGetFeeQuotes.
  • AAFeeMode.native, paying for gas fees in a native token (such as ETH). Takes one parameter:
    • wholeFeeQuote, which can be retrieved through ParticleAA.rpcGetFeeQuotes.
  • AAFeeMode.token, paying for gas fees in an ERC-20 token (such as USDC). Takes one parameter:
    • feeQuote, to be used when leveraging a Token Paymaster. It can be retrieved through ParticleAA.rpcGetFeeQuotes.
    • tokenPaymasterAddress, which can be retrieved through ParticleAA.rpcGetFeeQuotes.

Alternatively, for ParticleConnect.batchSendTransactions or ParticleAuthCore Evm.batchSendTransactions, the parameters will be the same, with the exception of transaction being an array of transactions.

// with particle_auth_core
await Evm.sendTransaction(transaction,
        feeMode: AAFeeMode.gasless(result));

await Evm.sendTransaction(transaction,
        feeMode: AAFeeMode.native(result));

await Evm.sendTransaction(transaction,
        feeMode: AAFeeMode.token(feeQuote, tokenPaymasterAddress));

await Evm.batchSendTransactions(transactions,
        feeMode: AAFeeMode.native(result));

// with particle_connect
await ParticleConnect.signAndSendTransaction(
        WalletType.authCore, eoaPublicAddress, transaction,
        feeMode: AAFeeMode.gasless(result));

await ParticleConnect.signAndSendTransaction(
        WalletType.authCore, eoaPublicAddress, transaction,
        feeMode: AAFeeMode.native(result));

await ParticleConnect.signAndSendTransaction(
        WalletType.authCore, eoaPublicAddress, transaction,
        feeMode: AAFeeMode.token(feeQuote, tokenPaymasterAddress));

await ParticleConnect.batchSendTransactions(
        WalletType.authCore, eoaPublicAddress, transactions,
        feeMode: AAFeeMode.native(result));

Check if you can send with AAFeeMode.gasless/native/token.

var result = await ParticleAA.rpcGetFeeQuotes(EoaPublicAddress, [transaction]);
var verifyingPaymasterNative = result["verifyingPaymasterNative"];
var feeQuote = verifyingPaymasterNative["feeQuote"];
var fee = BigInt.parse(feeQuote["fee"], radix: 10);
var balance = BigInt.parse(feeQuote["balance"], radix: 10);

// Check if the account can afford gas
if (balance < fee) {
  print("Native balance is not enough for gas fee");
  return;
}

// Check if a gasless (sponsored) transaction is available
var verifyingPaymasterGasless = result["verifyingPaymasterGasless"];
if (verifyingPaymasterGasless == null) {
  print("Gasless is not available");
  return;
}

// Check if gas payment via ERC20 is available
List<dynamic> feeQuotes = result["tokenPaymaster"]["feeQuotes"];

var overFeeQuotes = feeQuotes.where((element) {
	var fee = BigInt.parse(element["fee"], radix: 10);
	var balance = BigInt.parse(element["balance"], radix: 10);
return balance >= fee;
}).toList();

if (overFeeQuotes.isEmpty) {
  print("Can't pay in tokens, no valid token for gas fee");
  return;
}

// Select a fee quote (native, gasless, token), for example the first.
var feeQuote = overFeeQuotes[0];
String tokenPaymasterAddress = result["tokenPaymaster"]["tokenPaymasterAddress"];
