# Accounts and wallets

> Understand how one Aomi account can link multiple wallets, and how each wallet keeps its own signing policy and revocable permissions.

Your Aomi account is your identity across the product. It keeps your threads,
Apps, settings, plan, and usage together. Wallets sit beneath that account as
separate signing endpoints.

This separation matters because one person may use an email login, a browser
wallet, an embedded wallet, and a Solana wallet at the same time. A wallet
address identifies a key on a chain. It does not identify the whole person.

    G["Revocable delegated grant<br/>covers this wallet"]

```

The account is the common owner. Each wallet remains independent: it has its
own address, chain family, provider, signing mode, and authorization history.
Changing one wallet does not silently change another.

## What belongs to the account

The **General** and **Usage** tabs in Settings describe account-level state.
The **Account** tab describes the wallets linked to that account.

A connected wallet is not necessarily linked yet. Connecting makes a wallet
available to the current browser session. Linking proves that the wallet
belongs to your Aomi account and makes it available as a signing endpoint.

## How wallets become linked

Aomi accepts two kinds of proof:

* **Self-custody proof.** Your wallet signs a short-lived message. Aomi verifies
  the signer before linking the address. Typing or pasting an address is never
  enough to claim it.
* **Provider proof.** An embedded-wallet provider identifies the wallet created
  for your authenticated login. Aomi records the provider relationship and
  links the public address to your account.

Each public address belongs to one account. On EVM networks, the same address
represents the same key across EVM chains, so it carries one signing policy.
Solana keys are recorded separately.

<Note>
  Linking proves ownership or provider provenance. It does not give an App
  permission to sign. Signing authority is configured separately for each
  wallet.
</Note>

## Every wallet has its own signing policy

In **Settings → Account**, the **Wallet signing policy** section lets you choose
how each wallet handles a transaction.

| Setting                 | Stored mode   | What happens                                                                                                                            |
| ----------------------- | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Locked**              | `denied`      | The wallet cannot sign until you change its policy. Unknown policy states also fail closed to this mode.                                |
| **Manual**              | `manual`      | Aomi sends the request to your wallet. You inspect and approve each transaction.                                                        |
| **Accept transactions** | `client_auto` | Your own key-holding client can sign without a prompt each time. Aomi verifies that the returned signature came from the linked wallet. |
| **Auto**                | `auto`        | A supported wallet provider may sign without a prompt, but only while a live delegated grant covers this exact wallet.                  |

The options shown for a wallet depend on where its key lives and what its
provider supports. For example, a provider-managed signer cannot use a
client-side mode because your browser does not hold that key. A self-custody
wallet cannot use provider **Auto** unless a supported delegation exists.

## Automatic signing has two gates

**Auto** is intentionally controlled by two independent records:

1. The wallet policy must be set to `auto`.
2. A live delegated grant must authorize a supported provider to sign for that
   exact wallet.

```mermaid theme={null}
flowchart LR
    R["A transaction is ready to sign"] --> P{"Wallet policy"}
    P -->|Locked| X["Stop"]
    P -->|Manual| H["Ask you to sign"]
    P -->|Accept transactions| C["Ask your client<br/>then verify the signer"]
    P -->|Auto| G{"Live grant covers<br/>this wallet?"}
    G -->|No| X
    G -->|Yes| D["Provider signs"]
```

Neither gate can substitute for the other. Logging in through a wallet
provider does not automatically authorize signing. A delegated grant does not
override a wallet that is **Manual** or **Locked**.

When you enable automatic signing, the provider asks you once to authorize
Aomi as a delegated requester. You can revoke that grant in Settings. The next
signing attempt checks the current policy and grant again, so a revoked or
expired grant cannot be used.

<Warning>
  Automatic signing removes the per-transaction prompt. Enable it only for a
  wallet whose intended use and risk you understand. You can switch the wallet
  back to **Manual** or **Locked** at any time.
</Warning>

## Policy changes require a signature

Aomi does not change a wallet policy from an authenticated click alone. The
change includes the account, wallet, requested mode, expiry, and current policy
version, then requires a qualifying linked-wallet signature.

This protects three boundaries:

* A wallet cannot be attached to a different account without proof.
* A stale or replayed policy change cannot overwrite a newer decision.
* Granting more autonomy requires cryptographic approval, not just a logged-in
  browser session.

The Settings flow handles this ceremony for you. If a signature is rejected or
the policy changed in another session, nothing changes and you can try again
from the current state.

## What Aomi stores

| Aomi stores                                                | Aomi does not store                               |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Your canonical account identifier                          | A private key for your self-custody wallet        |
| Login-provider identities used to resolve that account     | A seed phrase or wallet recovery secret           |
| Linked public addresses and chain families                 | Permission inferred from an address alone         |
| One signing policy and version per wallet                  | An unlimited right to sign because you logged in  |
| References to active, expired, or revoked delegated grants | A delegated grant that bypasses the wallet policy |

Every signature is produced where the key lives: in your wallet, in your own
key-holding client, or through a supported provider under an active delegated
grant. Aomi verifies the signature and enforces the selected policy.

## Common account setups

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Email login with an embedded wallet">
    Your login resolves to one Aomi account. The provider-created wallet appears
    beneath it. It can remain **Manual**, use **Accept transactions** when the
    provider signs on your device, or use **Auto** only when the provider and a
    live grant support delegated signing for that wallet.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="One browser wallet on several EVM networks">
    The address represents one EVM key, so Aomi links it once and applies one
    signing policy across EVM chains. Each transaction still specifies its
    target network.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Several wallets on one account">
    Link each wallet with its own proof. Your history and usage stay together at
    the account level, while each wallet keeps an independent policy. You can
    leave a trading wallet **Manual** and lock a second wallet.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A background action with a Manual wallet">
    The action may continue preparing work, but the transaction cannot complete
    until you sign. Use **Accept transactions** or **Auto** only when you want a
    compatible signer to act without a prompt.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
