Resource Lock Mode

Magic Spend Resource Lock mode is designed for production-scale applications, enabling users to lock their tokens in specialized smart contracts and instantly access ETH across any supported chain through simple message signing.

Overview

Resource Lock mode eliminates the need for developer funding by allowing users to lock their own tokens in specialized contracts (OneBalance or Pimlico Lock). This enables immediate cross-chain liquidity while maintaining user control over their assets.

Key Features

No Developer Funding Required: Users lock their own tokens
User-Controlled Assets: Users maintain control over their locked funds
Instant Cross-Chain Access: Quick access to ETH on any supported chain
Multiple Lock Types: Choose between Pimlico Lock and OneBalance
