Wallet Factory

The Wallet Factory allows for the creation of Sequence Wallets using the Factory contract, which generates child MinimalUpgradeableProxies that serve as the base code for all Sequence wallets.

Sequence Wallets are created using the Factory contract, when called it creates child MinimalUpgradeableProxies contracts, which are in essence the “boot” code of all Sequence wallets.

Factory API

​

deploy

  function deploy(
    address _mainModule,
    bytes32 _salt
  ) public payable returns (address _contract)

Creates a child MinimalUpgradeableProxy using CREATE2, the proxy initially points to the provided _mainModule. No initialize code is executed.

​

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
_mainModule	address	Initial implementation for the new proxy contract, expected to point to a valid Sequence wallet implementation with support for counter-factual initialization.
_salt	bytes32	Arbitrary value to be used as create2 salt. Sequence’s mainModule uses the salt to obtain a hash with the initial configuration for the wallet (See ImageHash).

​

Return Values:

Name	Type	Description
_contract	address	Address of the created proxy contract.

Unsanitized input
The Factory contract does not check if the provided _mainModule is a valid Sequence wallet implementation, or if _salt is a valid Sequence configuration.

Using invalid parameters will result on a proxy contract that may not be usable, and could result in loss of funds.

​

Counter factual addresses

Sequence wallets are counter-factual by design, this means that the wallet’s address can be known before the wallet is deployed; any two combinations of the mainModule and salt values will result in the same wallet address.

This property alongside the use of NanoUniversalDeployer or UniversalDeployer is the reason why Sequence wallets can obtain the same address on multiple chains.

Gas-free wallet creation
Sequence wallets are 100% counterfactual, meaning that funds can be safely transferred to the wallet’s address without the need for calling the deploy function. Deploying the wallet is only required before the first transaction is sent from the wallet.
