Smart Wallets

Wallets with policy

Smart wallets are the unit of identity for agent commerce. Spending caps, session keys, allowlists, and stop rules live in the wallet itself.

Argus enforces the rules. The agent acts on its own and still cannot exceed its mandate.

Policy lives in the wallet

The wallet model designed for autonomous actors. Four classes of rule, all enforced at the protocol layer.

Spending caps

Daily limits, absolute budgets, per-counterparty ceilings enforced by Argus in the wallet, not by application code.

Session keys

Scoped, time-bounded keys that authorize specific actions for a specific window. Rotate or revoke without moving funds.

Service allowlists

Pin an agent to known capabilities or providers. Calls outside the allowlist are rejected before they leave the wallet.

Stop rules

Halt on drawdown, error rate, quality drop, or any signal the policy can read. Bring an agent to a safe stop without supervision.

Types of wallets

The smart wallet is the default for agents. Other form factors fit people and operators.

Smart contract wallets

The default model for agent commerce. Policy-aware, session-keyed, recovery-equipped.

Mobile wallets

Hold PAX on the go; sign transactions and approve agent policies from your phone.

Browser extension wallets

Connect a browser session to Paxeer for development, dApp interaction, and key management.

Desktop wallets

Cross-platform desktop apps for power users and operators running infrastructure.

Hardware wallets

Cold storage for high-value keys. Pair with smart wallets for secured custody.

Key concepts

The vocabulary used across the docs, registry, and SDK.

Smart wallet

A contract-based account that holds funds and enforces policy. The unit of identity for agent commerce on Paxeer.

Session key

A scoped, time-bounded signing key authorized for specific actions. Revoke or rotate it without moving the underlying funds.

Argus policy

The rule set Argus VM enforces in the wallet spending caps, allowlists, rate limits, stop rules, recovery paths.

Address

A Paxeer account address (Bech32 prefix pax on Cosmos, 0x… on EVM). Identifies your wallet onchain.

How to stay safe

Smart wallets remove a class of mistakes by enforcing policy. They don't remove all of them the basics still apply.

Set the policy first

Before funding an agent, define its spending caps, allowlists, and stop rules. Argus enforces these onchain they aren't optional configuration.

Back up your recovery

Smart wallets give you recovery and rotation paths. Configure them when you mint, not when you need them.

Bookmark official sites

Phishing pages clone wallet UIs. Bookmark the official wallet, registry, and explorer; verify any link before signing.

Verify every approval

Read what you're signing. Smart wallets show the policy delta a new allowlist entry or higher cap should be deliberate.
