Using API
Use native meta transaction APIs to easily implement meta transactions!
Before using this API, make sure your smart contracts inherits from one of the contracts mentioned in Custom Implementation , and you have removed the dependency on msg.sender property from your smart contracts by replacing it with msgSender() method.
