Implement MagicSpend on SOCKET
"MagicSpend: Spend Now, Debit Later" allows users to spend assets immediately while deferring the debit process. SOCKET's chain-abstraction architecture is well-suited to facilitate this by combining offchain agents and onchain contracts.
Implementation Steps​
Step 1: Immediate Spending Logic​
- The
MagicSpendAppGateway
listens for user spend requests to execute the immediate transaction. - Returns a confirmation to the user.

Step 2: Deferred Debit Mechanism​
- The AppGateway schedules the debit in the EVMx.
- The Watcher monitors the scheduled time.
- When the time arrives, the Watcher triggers a proof for the Switchboard.
- The Smart Contract executes the debit from the user’s account.

Key Considerations​
Security Measures​
- Onchain State Validation: Before allowing a spend, check balances using
read()
functions. - Fraud Prevention: Implement signature verifications in Switchboard.
- Failover Handling: Define fail-safe conditions if a scheduled debit fails (e.g., fallback mechanisms, notifications).
Handling Async Operations​
- Use the
async
modifier inMagicSpendAppGateway
to manage multiple chained operations efficiently. - Implement callback-based promises to synchronize transactions with user accounts.
What's next!​
By leveraging SOCKET’s architecture, MagicSpend can be implemented securely and efficiently, ensuring users can spend assets immediately while managing debits asynchronously.
