One of the biggest concerns we hear when people think about giving an agent spending power is: "wait, so I just hand it my wallet and hope for the best?"
No - and that's the whole point of how delegation is designed to work.
You don't hand an agent your wallet, your private keys, or unrestricted access to your funds. Instead, here's what actually happens:
1) You delegate a bounded allowance, not your private keys. The agent never has custody of your wallet - it only has permission to spend up to a limit you set, from an allowance you control.
2) The agent spends within that limit, autonomously, with no approval required per transaction. This is what makes real autonomy possible - the agent isn't stopping to ask for a signature every time it needs to pay for something. It operates within the boundary you've already defined.
3) Every spend is visible and verifiable on-chain. There's no black box here. You can see exactly what was spent, when, and to whom - a transparent, auditable trail rather than a monthly summary you have to trust.
This is what makes agent autonomy actually work in practice - real independence, backed by a limit you set.
