Openfort x Lit Protocol Integration

Openfort and Lit Protocol are partnering to integrate decentralized key management into our smart wallet infrastructure. This partnership allows developers to create secure, programmable wallets that can handle complex signing logic without the need for central custody.

What is the Lit Protocol Integration?

Lit Protocol is a decentralized network for managing cryptographic keys. By combining Lit's "Programmable Key Pairs" (PKPs) with Openfort's smart accounts, developers can set specific conditions for when a transaction should be signed. For example, a game could automatically sign a transaction only if a player reaches a certain level or completes a quest, making the blockchain experience seamless and secure.

Openfort is a gaming wallet solution dedicated to push the boundaries of blockchain primitives while offering an opinionated way to onboard users and power their transactions onchain. Openfort makes blockchain interactions effortless and programmable, helping games launch faster and adapt as they grow

Lit Protocol is a decentralized key management network that offers an innovative approach decentralizes cryptographic key creation and management, providing users with enhanced security and flexible access controls.

By integrating Lit's programmable MPC signer with Openfort's smart wallet, we can ensure a more secure and user-friendly wallet experience. It brings to the fore the notion that actions controlling the "if" data will be signed, allowing developers to implement conditional logic dictating the circumstances under which signing occurs. In essence, the PKPs and MPC wallets generated within this combined network can seamlessly determine the conditions under which a PKP should sign – namely, the "when, why, what, and if".

This collaboration also paves the way for more intricate and flexible account abstraction solutions. Developers will have the ability to create an MPC wallet with Lit and utilize the signature as the official signatory for a smart contract account. This not only enhances transaction validation within Lit's network but also makes it programmable.

Addressing the user experience, Openfort's multi-chain account support, combined with gas sponsorship and streamlined interactions, promises a smooth and efficient user journey.

For creating abstracted wallets, the partnership will enable portable signature verification by allowing users to interact with different blockchain networks using the same wallet. The PKPs can be added as a signer to an abstracted wallet for multi-signatures, with a Lit Action holding the logic for when the PKP should sign.

By integrating our technologies, we are providing a path for more flexible and secure account abstraction solutions. This collaboration redefines the user journey by making advanced security invisible to the player.
