Sponsor UserOperation End Point

pm_sponsorUserOperation

All paymaster URLs allow you to use both Sponsorship and Token Paymasters. To switch between paymasters you will simply change the Mode of a specific request. We will highlight both types of requests below.

This endpoint is responsible for calculating the paymasterAndData field, if applicable, for the given request. The API accepts a partial UserOp and an optional token address. By examining the mode parameter in the request, it identifies the type of paymaster associated with the request and handles the processing accordingly, as described in the following.

Sponsorship Paymaster

To determine whether a request can be sponsored by the Sponsorship Paymaster, only consider the partial UserOp object and the sponsorshipInfo. If the request cannot be sponsored, the paymasterAndData will return "0x".

Token Paymaster

Consider both the partial UserOp and tokenAddress parameters in this case. If the tokenAddress is absent, an error will be thrown. If both are present, check for the TokenPaymaster flow and send the paymasterAndData response accordingly. If the tokenAddress is not supported, an error will also be thrown. Please see the error response at the end of this document.

  • If "MODE" is SPONSORED, we check for request sponsorship. If a request cannot be sponsored, we return 0x. This would mean users will pay for their gas fees.
  • If "MODE" is ERC20, we return paymasterAndData for TokenPaymaster. This would mean that users will pay in their preferred ERC20 Tokens :::
