Executor

An interface for executing contract calls.

Interface

/// @notice Executor interface.
interface IExecutor {
    function execute(address target, uint256 value, bytes calldata data)
        external
        payable
        returns (bytes memory result);

    function delegateExecute(address target, bytes calldata data)
        external
        payable
        returns (bytes memory result);
}

Motivation

There is fragmentation in how developers implement call and delegatecall in their contracts. As an Executor interface is the basis of smart accounts (see ERC4337, ERC6900), a simple standard for executing call or delegatecall would allow more applications to predictably build the correct calldata, as well as promote security. For purposes of syntax, and in anticipation of new methods, the word execute stands in for call, thus execute works for calls and delegateExecute works for calls that delegate to another account’s bytecode.
