Inferred product pattern

Open-source security utility for decentralized protocol integration.

Review-backed pain points

Users have requested more granular control over authorization durations (e.g., 'authorize for 24 hours') rather than just binary once/forever options.

Observed feature gaps

The UI is noted as being unrefined, and there is a lack of flexible time-based permission management for event signing.
