What is a Trusted Session?
A Trusted Session allows you to choose a time window during which you can make transactions without needing guardian approval.
You can select a session length of:
-
1 hour
-
3 hours
-
1 year
You can also end the session manually at any time.
How does it work?
When you start a Trusted Session, a temporary private key is created. Once this session is approved by your guardians, that key can make any transaction without requiring guardian approvals.
When the session ends—either automatically after the time expires or when you end it manually—the key becomes inactive and is discarded.
Outside of a Trusted Session, guardian approval is required for all transactions unless:
-
The transaction is with a Dapp on the Argent Trust List, or
-
You are sending to a Trusted contact.
How to start or end a Trusted Session
-
Open your Ethereum account in the Argent app.
-
Go to the Security tab.
-
Tap on Trusted Session.
-
Choose your session length.
-
Approve the session with your guardians.
Gas fees and Trusted Sessions
-
Starting or manually ending a Trusted Session requires paying Ethereum network fees (gas).
-
Letting the session expire naturally does not require gas.
