Overview

Smart Account requires the @magic-ext/smart-account extension.

Magic’s Smart Account extension lets you send transactions through an EIP-7702 smart account powered by Alchemy’s Smart Wallet infrastructure. With EIP-7702, the user’s existing EOA is the smart account — there is no separate contract deployment or address change. This enables:

Gas sponsorship — sponsor transaction fees for your users via an Alchemy Gas Manager policy
Batched calls — send multiple contract calls in a single atomic transaction
Cross-chain support — use any EVM chain supported by Alchemy

Prerequisites

An Alchemy account with an API key
(Optional) A Gas Manager policy ID for gas sponsorship

Setup

Install the Smart Account extension:

npm install magic-sdk @magic-ext/smart-account

yarn add magic-sdk @magic-ext/smart-account

Initialize Magic with the extension:

JavaScript

import { Magic } from 'magic-sdk';
import { SmartAccountExtension } from '@magic-ext/smart-account';

const magic = new Magic('YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY', {
  extensions: [
    new SmartAccountExtension({
      apiKey: 'YOUR_ALCHEMY_API_KEY',
      paymasterPolicyId: 'YOUR_POLICY_ID', // optional — enables gas sponsorship
    }),
  ],
});

Configuration Options

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`apiKey`	`string`	Yes	Your Alchemy API key
`paymasterPolicyId`	`string`	No	Alchemy Gas Manager policy ID. When provided, transaction fees are sponsored

Sending a Transaction

Use smartAccount.sendTransaction() to send one or more calls through the smart account:

JavaScript

const result = await magic.smartAccount.sendTransaction({
  chainId: 11155111, // Sepolia
  calls: [
    {
      to: '0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890',
      value: '1000000000000000', // 0.001 ETH in wei
      data: '0x',
    },
  ],
});

console.log('Transaction hash:', result.transactionHash);
console.log('Call ID:', result.id);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`chainId`	`number`	Yes	The chain ID for the transaction
`calls`	`array`	Yes	Array of calls to execute

Each call in the calls array accepts:

Field	Type	Required	Description
`to`	`string`	Yes	The recipient or contract address
`data`	`string`	No	Encoded calldata for contract interactions
`value`	`string`	No	Value to send in wei

Response

Field	Type	Description
`id`	`string`	The call bundle ID
`transactionHash`	`string \| undefined`	The on-chain transaction hash
`chainId`	`number`	The chain ID the transaction was sent on

Batched Transactions

Send multiple calls in a single atomic transaction. All calls execute together — if one fails, they all revert.

JavaScript

const result = await magic.smartAccount.sendTransaction({
  chainId: 11155111,
  calls: [
    {
      to: '0xContractA',
      data: '0x...', // approve
    },
    {
      to: '0xContractB',
      data: '0x...', // swap
    },
  ],
});

console.log('Transaction hash:', result.transactionHash);

Gas Sponsorship

When a paymasterPolicyId is provided in the extension config, transaction gas fees are automatically sponsored through Alchemy’s Gas Manager. Users don’t need any ETH to send transactions.

JavaScript

const magic = new Magic('YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY', {
  extensions: [
    new SmartAccountExtension({
      apiKey: 'YOUR_ALCHEMY_API_KEY',
      paymasterPolicyId: 'YOUR_POLICY_ID', // enables sponsorship
    }),
  ],
});

// This transaction's gas is sponsored — user needs no ETH
const result = await magic.smartAccount.sendTransaction({
  chainId: 11155111,
  calls: [{ to: '0x...', data: '0x...' }],
});

You can configure sponsorship rules (per-user limits, allowed contracts, chain restrictions) in the Alchemy Gas Manager dashboard.

});

async function sendSponsoredTransaction() {
  try {
    // Authenticate the user
    await magic.auth.loginWithEmailOTP({ email: '[email protected]' });

    // Send a sponsored transaction
    const result = await magic.smartAccount.sendTransaction({
      chainId: 11155111,
      calls: [
        {
          to: '0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890',
          value: '0',
          data: '0x',
        },
      ],
    });

    console.log('Transaction hash:', result.transactionHash);
    console.log('Call ID:', result.id);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Transaction failed:', error);
  }
