Circle Enhances Gateway with ERC-1271 Smart Wallet Support
Circle has upgraded its Gateway product to support ERC-1271 signatures. This update allows smart contracts and smart contract wallets to interact with the platform using their existing authorization logic.
Previously, Gateway integrations required externally owned accounts (EOAs) to submit burn and mint intents. Smart contracts and smart contract wallets had to rely on delegate-based flows to authorize transactions.
The addition of ERC-1271 support eliminates the need for delegate-based approval flows, reducing setup complexity for DeFi protocols, treasury systems, payment infrastructure, and smart wallets.
