## Enhancing Wallet Compatibility for Smart Accounts A recent update from MetaMask has made Smart Accounts the default choice for many Web3 users. While this improves the general user experience, it introduces technical hurdles for protocols using the ERC-777 token standard, such as the Datamine Network. Because Smart Accounts do not inherently support the ERC-1820 registry requirements mandatory for ERC-777, direct minting to these wallets previously failed. To address this, we have developed and deployed a custom Delegated Minting Contract. This contract successfully bridges the gap, ensuring total compatibility for FLUX and DAM minting across all wallet types. ## How the Delegated Minting Solution Works Instead of requiring recipient smart accounts to register with ERC-1820, the new Delegated Minting Contract redirects the minting process. When a validator initiates a mint, the protocol points their delegated address to this new helper contract. The helper contract executes the mint from the validator and securely transfers the tokens to the intended Smart Account using a modified transfer mechanism. This architecture preserves the decentralized security of the system while bypassing ERC-1820 limitations. ### Action Required for Validators If you are an active validator, enrolling in this upgrade is simple. You only need to **stop and restart your validator** via the dashboard to automatically activate the new Delegated Minting Contract.
