Description

Motivation

Make the permit method compatible with smart-contract wallets that implement EIP1271, and make smart-contract wallets compatible with dapp flows that leverage the permit method (e.g. via WalletConnect).

Requested change

Replace ECDSA.recover by SignatureChecker. isValidSignatureNow in https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/aefcb3e8aa4ee8da8e2b7022ffe4dcb57fbb0fdf/contracts/token/ERC20/extensions/draft-ERC20Permit.sol#L55 .

Research direction

Start with contracts/token/ERC20/extensions/draft-ERC20Permit.sol at the referenced permit implementation and review how EIP1271 validation is exposed through SignatureChecker.isValidSignatureNow. Run the existing ERC20Permit-related tests and confirm that both smart-contract wallets and ordinary EOA signatures are accepted as intended.
