Session Key
A temporary, limited-permission cryptographic key generated by a smart contract wallet that allows dApps to execute specific transactions on the user's behalf without requiring approval for each action. Session keys are time-limited and scope-limited (e.g., allowing only swaps up to $100 on a specific DEX for 1 hour), dramatically improving the user experience for gaming and frequent DeFi interactions.
