# Agent Wallets

Trading without wallet popups for every order.

## The Problem

Traditional DeFi requires signing every single order:

1. Click "Buy BTC"
2. MetaMask popup
3. Review and approve
4. Repeat 50-100 times per day

Not practical for active trading.

## Agent Wallet Solution

**One-time authorization:**

1. Authorize agent wallet once
2. Agent signs orders on your behalf
3. No more popups

You retain full control. Revoke access anytime.

## How It Works

**Authorization:**

* Sign one message authorizing the agent wallet
* Agent can now sign orders for you
* Your wallet retains fund control

**Trading:**

* Click "Buy" or "Sell"
* Order signed automatically (no popup)
* Executes on Hyperliquid

## What You Control

**Full Control:**

* Your private key (never shared)
* Authorization (revoke anytime)
* Funds (always in your account)
* Positions

**Agent Can:**

* Sign trading orders only
* Only while authorized by you

**Agent Cannot:**

* Withdraw funds
* Transfer assets
* Trade after you revoke access

## Revoking Agent Authorization

### When to Revoke

**Consider revoking if:**

* You're done using Atract
* You suspect security compromise
* You want to pause all automated trading
* You're switching to a new account

### How to Revoke

**Via Hyperliquid UI:**

1. Go to Hyperliquid dashboard
2. Navigate to "Agent Wallets" or "Authorizations"
3. Find Atract's agent wallet address
4. Click "Revoke"
5. Sign the revoke message

**Effect:**

* All future trade attempts fail
* Agent can no longer sign on your behalf
* Existing orders remain active (cancel manually if needed)

**To resume trading on Atract:**

* Re-authorize the agent wallet (new authorization flow)

## Vault Trading

Same agent mechanism applies to vault trading.

**Personal vs Vault:**

* Personal: Agent signs for your wallet
* Vault: Agent signs for vault wallet

Risk limits enforced automatically.

## FAQ

**Is my personal wallet at risk if Atract is hacked?** For personal trading, the agent can only sign trades, not withdrawals. Revoke access immediately if concerned.

**What if I lose my wallet?** Recover via your wallet provider (seed phrase).

**Is this like giving Atract my private key?** No. Your private key stays with you. Agent is a separate wallet with limited permissions for trading.

**Can I trade without agent authorization?** Not currently. Agent wallets are required for Atract's interface.
