Wallet and Session Infrastructure

How GigaETH enables secure, non-custodial spending across real-world payment surfaces.

To support payments at scale, GigaETH introduces a session-based authorization model inspired by modern wallet connectivity standards, but extended for continuous spending rather than one-off transactions.

Instead of signing every payment individually, users establish bounded spend sessions. A session defines:

• Maximum spend per transaction

• Maximum spend over time

• Asset denomination

• Expiry conditions

These parameters are enforced at the protocol level. Once a session is active, payment requests can be executed instantly within defined limits, without exposing private keys or requiring repeated approvals. This mirrors how modern payment systems work while preserving user control.

Unlike traditional wallet connections, sessions in GigaETH are position-aware. They continuously reference the user’s borrowing capacity, collateral health, and risk thresholds. If a session would cause a position to become unsafe, the payment is rejected automatically. This prevents accidental overspending and protects both users and bidders.

This model allows GigaETH to support card-based payments, merchant integrations, and automated recurring payments without introducing custodial risk. Authorization is granular, revocable, and cryptographically enforced.

From the outside, the experience is simple: users pay with crypto-backed value as easily as they pay with a card. Underneath, the system dynamically coordinates yield-bearing collateral, borrowing liquidity, and payment settlement in real time.

This is what it means to make payments a first-class output of DeFi.
