To deliver a seamless user experience, Overtime is introducing Overtime Accounts—an onchain smart account designed to abstract wallet and EVM network complexities while remaining non-custodial and permissionless. This development was made possible with the amazing infrastructure of for Smart Accounts and for Wallet-As-A-Service Social Login.
All users will be able to switch, per preference, between using the new Overtime Account UX or the classic EOA wallet connection as before. Switching between these modes is made super intuitive for everyone, so the users that are used to betting with their wallets directly can continue doing so.
Overtime users are no longer required to connect to Overtime via their installed wallets but can now create and use accounts from within the dapp itself! This integration enables effortless onboarding and trading experience, allowing users to use any familiar Social Login method (Google, Twitter, Discord, Github, Apple, etc.) and a streamlined Deposit or Credit Card process.
Technical Details
To truly bridge the gap between the onchain world and mainstream adoption, Overtime leverages Biconomy’s Smart Account SDK—integrating its Paymaster, Bundler, and Session Keys infra to deliver a seamless, retail-friendly user experience.
With Paymaster infra, users never have to worry about holding ETH to cover gas costs. In some cases, gas fees will be fully sponsored by Overtime for certain users, amplifying the UX even more. The Bundler further enhances convenience by batching multiple actions into a single transaction, eliminating unnecessary confirmations and pop-ups that can delay transaction execution for end users. Meanwhile, Session Keys enable pre-authorized actions, allowing users to place bets, execute transactions, and interact with Overtime’s smart contracts by just clicking once a respective frontend button, without signing any additional approvals.
With integrating Onramper and their fiat onramping aggregation technology, any Overtime user can seamlessly fund their Overtime Accounts directly from fiat! Onramper chooses the best fiat onramping provider for you, wherever you are in the world, solving another Overtime onboarding hurdle. This further helps Overtime grow as a globally accessible industry-changing powerhouse. Features coming soon to Overtime Account funding also include depositing funds directly from your CEX account directly within Overtime dapp.
This fusion of all mentioned features ensures that Overtime users can finally focus on the game, and not the blockchain—the ultimate frictionless onchain sportsbook experience. The onchain UX is finally as intuitive as Web2—but with all the power and trustlessness of Ethereum!
