Signer overview

The Alchemy Signer is a SmartAccountSigner that is powered by Alchemy's Signer Infrastructure. Using the Alchemy Signer, you can get started building embedded accounts with just an Alchemy API key!

When using Account Kit with React via @account-kit/react or @account-kit/core, the assumption is that you're using the Alchemy Signer with our smart contract implementations and our Bundler and Gas Manager infrastructure. However, you can also use the Alchemy Signer as a standalone signer with your own smart contracts or 3rd party infrastructure. In these guides, you'll learn more about how to choose a signer and how to use our signer directly via the @account-kit/signer package to log users in with email auth, and create a embedded account with our signer to enable email, passkeys (i.e. biometrics), and soon social auth flows!
