New Account Type

This XIP introduces a new type of account to the protocol: a secp256r1 key. These are the types of keys used in Passkeys, which have wide support across operating systems and built in mechanisms for synchronization across devices.

secp256r1 keys would be allowed to be used in any of the ways that Ethereum Accounts could today:

  • As the recovery address for an inbox
  • As an input to derive the inbox_id
  • As a member of the inbox, which can then authorize installations

All clients would need to upgrade to a version of our SDKs that supports secp256r1 keys as a first-class citizen.
