Use the Ostium app export flow here: app.ostium.com/sdk-export That page creates a delegated gasless SDK setup in the browser:
  • it generates a fresh delegate private key locally in the browser
  • it asks the trader to approve USDC once
  • it registers the derived Safe as the trader’s on-chain delegate
After that, the integration can use createDelegatedAndGasless().

What the app page gives you

The export flow shows:
  • the trader address
  • the derived smart-account address
  • the registration status and timestamp
  • a ready-to-copy Builder SDK snippet

SDK snippet

import { OstiumClient } from '@ostium/builder-sdk';

const client = await OstiumClient.createDelegatedAndGasless({
  delegatePrivateKey: '0xYourDelegateKey', // paste the key you saved in step 2
  traderAddress: '0xa02fa4da932f616975f258ce0a9077f8ed3564',
  // pimlicoUrl is optional — defaults to Ostium's sponsored Pimlico bundler on Arbitrum One
  // pimlicoUrl: 'https://builder.ostium.io/v1/pimlico/sponsor?chainId=42161',
  // testnet: true, // Arbitrum Sepolia — uses the 421614 sponsor URL when pimlicoUrl is omitted
  // sponsorshipPolicyId: '...', // optional Pimlico sponsorship policy id
  // rpcUrl: 'https://arb-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/...', // optional; public Arbitrum RPC for reads if omitted
});
The snippet uses a placeholder for the private key. Paste the saved key there and never commit it to source control.

Flow in the app

1. Trader address

This is the connected EOA that holds the user’s USDC and positions.

2. Generate delegate key

Ostium generates a fresh private key in the browser. The user must save it because it cannot be recovered later.

3. Approve USDC

The trader completes a one-time approval so TradingStorage can move their USDC for SDK trades.

4. Register delegate

The app registers the derived Safe smart-account address as the trader’s on-chain delegate.

Why this mode is useful

This flow sets the user up for Delegated + Gasless:
  • trades are signed by the delegate
  • transactions are submitted as sponsored ERC-4337 user operations
  • the SDK can use Ostium’s default Pimlico-compatible sponsor URL when pimlicoUrl is omitted
