Account Abstraction
When to Use
- Reviewing account contract validation and execution paths.
- Designing session-key policy boundaries.
- Validating nonce and signature semantics.
When NOT to Use
- General contract authoring not involving account semantics.
Quick Start
- Confirm
__validate__ enforces lightweight, bounded checks.
- Confirm
__execute__ enforces policy and selector boundaries.
- Verify replay protections (nonce/domain separation) for all signature paths.
- Add regression tests for each fixed session-key or policy finding.
- Run
cairo-auditor for final AA/security pass before merge.
Core Focus
__validate__ constraints and DoS resistance.
__execute__ policy enforcement correctness.
- Replay protection and domain separation.
- Privileged selector and self-call protection.
Workflow

starknet.js Example
import { Account, CallData, RpcProvider } from "starknet";
const provider = new RpcProvider({ nodeUrl: process.env.STARKNET_RPC! });
const account = new Account(provider, process.env.ACCOUNT_ADDRESS!, process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!);
// Validate preview (debug-only): inspect __validate__ behavior with the current nonce.
const nonce = await account.getNonce();
const call = { contractAddress: process.env.TARGET!, entrypoint: "set_limit", calldata: CallData.compile({ value: 7 }) };
await provider.callContract({
contractAddress: account.address,
entrypoint: "__validate__",
calldata: CallData.compile({ calls: [call], nonce }),
});
// Execute path: real transaction that triggers __execute__ and nonce checks.
const tx = await account.execute([call]);
await provider.waitForTransaction(tx.transaction_hash);
Error Codes and Recovery
| Code |
Condition |
Recovery |
AA-001 |
__validate__ is too expensive or stateful |
Remove heavy logic from validation; add a test that caps validation steps. |
AA-002 |
__execute__ allows blocked selectors/self-calls |
Enforce selector filters and self-call checks; add authorized/unauthorized regression tests. |
AA-003 |
Nonce or domain mismatch causes replay risk |
Normalize nonce source/hash domain; add replay and cross-domain tests. |
AA-999 |
Unexpected runtime panic |
Capture calldata + caller context, reproduce in unit tests, then escalate to cairo-auditor. |
