Security & Wallets

Ethy AI is built on a non-custodial wallet architecture that ensures users retain full control of their assets at all times. Agents execute actions through user-owned smart wallets and never have access to funds outside of defined automations.

Wallet Architecture

When you create an account on Ethy, a smart wallet is provisioned through Privy. This wallet lives on-chain and is tied to your identity. It is capable of executing transactions autonomously, but only with your explicit permission.

All automated actions by your agent are performed through this wallet.

Key Characteristics

• Non-custodial: You control the wallet. Ethy cannot access or move your funds arbitrarily.

• Smart wallet: Supports programmable execution, including complex DeFi operations.

• Privy-backed: Wallets are securely created and managed using Privy's privacy-preserving key infrastructure.

• Gasless execution: automations run without you needing to manage or pay for gas. You sign once to define a rule, and your agent executes it seamlessly.

Planned Diagram

A visual diagram will soon be added to show how the system operates:

This helps clarify how commands flow from user input to agent logic and ultimately to on-chain execution, with clear boundaries of control and custody.

Summary

• You own the wallet; Ethy never holds custody

• Agents act only within defined permissions

• Delegated access can be revoked

• Wallets are portable and exportable at any time

• Execution is gasless: automated, efficient, and under your control
