/ quick answer

Separate reading, reasoning and signing into distinct layers, with allowlists, per-transaction caps, simulation and an audit log between the model and any key. Give an AI agent on-chain capability safely: read freely, propose openly, and sign only inside hard-coded limits.

Give an AI agent on-chain capability safely: read freely, propose openly, and sign only inside hard-coded limits. The problem it solves: Connecting an agent to a wallet is trivial and reckless. One hallucinated address or looping retry can empty it with no recourse. Separate reading, reasoning and signing into distinct layers, with allowlists, per-transaction caps, simulation and an audit log between the model and any key. It runs in 7 steps, starting with read layer: give the agent rpc and indexer access for balances, prices, transactions and contract state.

Problem
Connecting an agent to a wallet is trivial and reckless. One hallucinated address or looping retry can empty it with no recourse.
Solution
Separate reading, reasoning and signing into distinct layers, with allowlists, per-transaction caps, simulation and an audit log between the model and any key.
Steps
  1. 01Read layer: give the agent RPC and indexer access for balances, prices, transactions and contract state.
  2. 02Reasoning layer: the model plans and produces a structured transaction intent — never raw calldata it invented.
  3. 03Policy layer in deterministic code: allowlisted contracts and tokens, max value per transaction, daily cap, rate limit, kill switch.
  4. 04Simulate every transaction and reject it if the simulated balance changes differ from the intent.
  5. 05Signing layer: a dedicated wallet or smart account with a session key, funded with only what the policy allows to be lost.
  6. 06Human approval for anything above a threshold or touching a contract seen for the first time.
  7. 07Log intent, simulation result, signature and receipt for every action; alert on any policy rejection.

Related concepts

The vocabulary this page depends on.

  • On-chain Agent

    An on-chain agent is an AI agent with read access to blockchain data and a tightly scoped ability to propose or execute transactions.

  • Account Abstraction

    Account abstraction turns a wallet into a programmable smart account: custom signing rules, spending limits, sponsored gas and batched actions.

  • Smart Contract

    A smart contract is code deployed to a blockchain that executes deterministically when called, holding balances and enforcing rules without an operator.

  • Web3 Wallet

    A Web3 wallet stores your keys and signs transactions, letting you hold assets and connect to on-chain applications without an intermediary.
