What are Sponsored Transactions and How Does it Work?
Ronin Waypoint’s sponsored transaction feature allows one party to pay gas fees on behalf of another. This is particularly useful in scenarios where a newly created wallet lacks sufficient funds for transaction fees or where estimating the required gas fees may be challenging. With sponsored transactions, game studios can leverage Ronin Waypoint to cover the gas fees for new users, facilitating a smoother onboarding process and benefiting both parties.
Sponsored Transactions are transactions that involve two signatures:
- The first belongs to the user
- The second belongs to the sponsor
From the user’s POV, this looks like a gas-free transaction. Submit Transaction → Confirm Transaction → Done. This makes new user onboarding easier.
On the back end, game studios are subsidizing their community members’ transactions through Ronin Waypoint. Here’s how:
Step 1: User initiates a transaction with Ronin Waypoint.
Step 2: Ronin Waypoint sends a transaction validation request to the sponsoring service.
Step 3: Sponsoring service verifies the user's eligibility for a sponsored transaction and returns the user's quota to Ronin Waypoint.
Step 4: If eligible, the fee is nullified in the UI. The user signs the transaction and sends it to the sponsoring service.
Step 5: Sponsoring service requests the payer to sign the transaction with payer’s signature.
Step 6: Payer signs the transaction, indicating its agreement to sponsor the gas fees.
Step 7: The transaction, signed by both the user and the payer, is submitted to the Ronin network.
FAQs
Why did we build Ronin Waypoint?
A seamless onboarding experience remains a challenge in Web3, as the need to create separate accounts and the use of seed phrases leads to a less-than-ideal user experience.
Ronin Waypoint solves this by unifying accounts into one login credential, in addition to enhancing security and enabling in-game transactions.
How do in-game purchases work?
It is a blockchain transaction that appears as an in-game pop-up, powered by Ronin Waypoint.
Are in-game purchases secure?
Ronin Waypoint is powered by MPC (Multi-Party Computation) technology. It is a cryptographic technology used to generate ultra secure keyless wallets and sign transactions.
It replaces the private key with two or more shards. One shard is stored on the user's device, the other on the Sky Mavis server. These shards are used collaboratively to sign transactions and execute Web3 operations. The private key is never fully assembled in one place, making it more secure against hacking and phishing attempts.
