Overview

The Delegation Framework (branded Gator) is MetaMask's official ERC-7710-style smart-contract system for delegating scoped, revocable permissions from a smart account to another address or agent, rather than sharing a private key outright. It's a reference implementation builders point to for giving an onchain agent bounded spending/action authority under human control. 215 GitHub stars, actively maintained.

Self-reported rows are the project’s own words, dated when we recorded them — not a check. Only reproduced and reviewed rows carry a mark. None of these rows is a safety or quality rating.

You supply: .env populated from .env.example, then `source .env`, PRIVATE_KEY (deployer key for forge scripts — risk: funded deployer private key in env), RPC URL for the target chain; optional local fork via `anvil -f <your_rpc_url>`

This is the share of our daily checks that succeeded — not an availability guarantee. A check can fail because the host was down, because our runner timed out, or because the network in between dropped it, and only the first of those is a fact about this project. Failures are split by what we can attribute; anything we cannot attribute is counted, not hidden. 40 of these checks predate 2026-09-01, when the probe counted a bot-block (HTTP 403) as a failure and recorded no reason for any failure. Every one of them passed, so the rate covers them too.

A gap is a day we have no attributable observation — never a zero. Thirty points is the whole shape the free layer carries; the daily rows behind it stay in the snapshot series.
