The specification defines two records that applications can verify. An associated account record captures the initiator, approver, validity timestamps, and optional context. A signed association record adds both signatures and a revocation status. Third parties can verify the relationship without a trusted coordinator.
ERC-8092 uses EIP-712 typed data signing so wallets can present structured messages to signers. The draft also supports several signature schemes, which can help different wallet types participate. It includes smart contract signatures through standards such as ERC-1271, alongside options like passkeys and other cryptography used outside the EVM.
Furthermore, developers designed the proposal to support different privacy and cost preferences. Teams can store associations on-chain for composability or store them off-chain for scale. Either party can revoke an association at any time, and the draft includes validation rules for timestamps, signature checks, and revocation state.
