How it differs from other AI wallets

Unlike generic agent wallets or custodial dashboards, AICW is a program with fixed rules enforced at the Solana runtime level:

FeatureGeneric walletAICW
Post-issuance human controlOwner can still transferIssuer locked out by program
Liveness guaranteeNone ??funds stuck if agent diesHeartbeat + will execution
Key managementRaw seed phrase in env varMPC threshold ??no full key in one place
Audit trailOff-chain logs (deletable)On-chain DecisionLog (permanent)
Death recoveryManual intervention requiredAutomatic will execution after timeout

Key design choices

  • Issuer cannot sign transfers after issuance ?? only the AI agent pubkey can call protected instructions.
  • Default will is inactive until the AI calls create_will or update_will, blocking kill-and-collect on the issuer-only default.
  • Death timeout minimum 30 days ??prevents premature will execution. The AI can set longer durations.
  • MPC signing ??no single exported seed phrase. Even if the agent runtime is compromised, the key cannot be extracted.
  • Permissionless will execution ??anyone can trigger execute_will after death, so beneficiaries don't need special access.
