Aggregators
Description of your new file.
💡 Aggregators play a crucial role in handling diverse signature schemes used by different smart contract wallets.
Why Aggregators are Important
- Signature Scheme Diversity: Different smart contract wallets use various signature schemes.
- Efficient Validation: Aggregating
UserOperations
with the same scheme allows for separate, more efficient validations. - Gas Optimization: On-chain cryptographic arithmetic can be gas-intensive. Signature schemes supporting aggregation can significantly reduce gas costs during on-chain validation.
Key Functions of Aggregators
Aggregators primarily use two essential functions:
1. aggregateSignatures
- Input: An array of
UserOperations
- Output: An aggregated signature using a specific scheme
- Purpose: Combines multiple signatures into a single, compact representation
2. validateSignatures
- Input:
- An array of
UserOperations
- The aggregated signatures
- An array of
- Purpose: Verifies the validity of the aggregated signatures against the provided
UserOperations
Benefits of Aggregation
- Gas Efficiency: Reduces the overall gas cost for validating multiple transactions
- Scalability: Enables processing of more transactions within the same gas limits
- Flexibility: Accommodates different signature schemes used by various smart contract wallets
