# Delegate Attestation Creation

Through this tutorial, we will utilize direct interaction with the Sign Protocol [Smart Contract](/for-builders/index-1/index/index/index/isp.md) and the [NPM SDK](/for-builders/index-1/npm-sdk.md).

### Problem Statement: Delegate Attestation Creation

There are two main reasons for delegate attestation creation: when initiated offchain, delegate attestations allow your backend to pay the gas fees for your users; when initiated onchain, delegate attestations allow your smart contract to create attestations on behalf of wallets interacting with it. This tutorial assumes you have a schema created and know how to create an attestation. Any schema will work; if you need help getting started, refer to [Building a Simple Notary Platform](/for-builders/getting-started/tutorials/building-a-simple-notary-platform.md).

This tutorial will be split into two parts - a JS backend and a Solidity contract. Both parts will require shared code to be placed into your frontend for requesting a delegate signature from users.

### Finished Code

The finished code from this tutorial can be found in our examples repository [here](https://github.com/EthSign/sign-protocol-examples).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sign.global/for-builders/getting-started/tutorials/delegate-attestation-creation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
