This guide provides a technical walkthrough of how to trade on FlashTrade, focusing on the FlashTrade Account Abstraction architecture that powers its signature FlashTrade 1-click trading feature.
Step 1: Smart Wallet Deployment
When a user signs up for FlashTrade Official with a Web2 login (e.g., Google), an ERC-4337 smart contract wallet is deployed on their behalf. The user's credential becomes a signer for this wallet. This is the foundation of the FlashTrade CEX UX, as it eliminates the need for users to manage a seed phrase.
Step 2: The UserOperation Flow
A "1-click trade" is not a single transaction but a streamlined UserOperation.
The user clicks to open a position.
The front-end constructs a UserOperation struct containing the trade details.
The user signs this UserOperation with their passkey/social login.
The signed operation is sent to a Bundler, which pays the gas fee. This creates the FlashTrade gasless experience.
Step 3: Ensuring Self-Custody
Although the experience feels centralized, FlashTrade self-custody is maintained at all times. The protocol never has access to the user's private keys or signing credentials. The smart wallet can only be controlled by the authorized signer. This is a critical aspect of the FlashTrade security model. Your trading volume is tracked and rewarded via FlashTrade Points.
