Some gas sponsorship setups by other providers are subject to replay attacks. If a malicious actor compromises the provider infrastructure, they can replay the gas sponsorship request multiple times with different nonces to create multiple transactions from a single request. Concretely, this means if Bob signs a request to send Alice 1 ETH, a malicious actor could replay that request many times, draining all of Bob's ETH.

At Turnkey, we never cut corners on security: we perform transaction construction in enclaves, and as long as the request includes the relevant nonce, only one transaction can be created from it. Since the user's authenticator signs requests and the enclave verifies signatures, a malicious actor cannot modify or replay the request.

Since the user's authenticator signs requests and the enclave verifies signatures, a malicious actor cannot modify or replay the request. This is inline with Turnkey's core system design principal: everything can be compromised outside of the enclaves and funds will still be safe.

By default, our SDKs include a special gas station nonce for sponsored transaction requests.
