The "Dismiss Smart Account" option allows users to revert an address that was temporarily upgraded via ERC-7702 (smart account mode) back into a regular Externally Owned Account (EOA). This feature ensures that users maintain full control and security over their wallets, especially after using features like gas fee sponsorship.
When a user utilizes gas sponsorship, their regular wallet address (EOA) temporarily adopts the behavior of a smart account through ERC-7702. This effectively allows the address to act like a smart contract, enabling advanced features such as session keys, batched transactions, and third-party gas payments.
However, some Web3 platforms or decentralized applications (dApps) might treat these smart contract-like addresses differently. In rare cases, bugs or smart contract-specific behaviors on such platforms may cause unexpected issues or security concerns.
To mitigate these risks, users are given the ability to "dismiss" or revoke the temporary smart account status. This restores the account to its original EOA form — simple, direct, and less prone to edge-case compatibility problems.
Select the Account Choose the wallet address where you previously used the gas fee sponsorship feature.
Locate the "Dismiss Smart Account" Option Once selected, you will see the Dismiss Smart Account option available in the interface.
Execute the Dismissal Click on the option and execute the transaction. The system will immediately revoke smart contract privileges and restore your address to its original EOA state.
Gas Fee Required: The dismissal transaction must be executed as a standard transaction, meaning users will need to pay the gas fee themselves.
This is because in order to revoke ERC-7702 status, the account must no longer rely on any ERC-7702-based features — including gas sponsorship. The account must act entirely as a regular EOA to finalize the transition.
The "Dismiss Smart Account" feature provides users with a safe and simple off-ramp from ERC-7702 functionality. It ensures full compatibility with traditional dApps and mitigates smart contract-related risks. If you’ve used gas sponsorship and want to return to a more neutral account state, this feature helps you do it — quickly and securely.
