# EVM

> Configure EVM providers and understand how Aomi simulates, signs, guards, and broadcasts EVM transactions.

Aomi applies one execution model to every EVM network. Each transaction
declares a chain ID. The runtime uses that ID to select the matching provider,
simulate the transaction against current chain state, apply the App's guards,
request the permitted signature, and broadcast to the intended network.

`providers.toml` supplies the network routes for this process. It separates the
private fork used for simulation from the RPC endpoint used for direct network
access. The file determines where Aomi reads and sends chain data. It does not
grant signing authority, expand an App's allowlists, or bypass simulation.

## Configure EVM providers

Use `[anvil-instances.<name>]` for a managed fork. Use
`[external.<name>]` for a direct RPC connection. You can declare both for the
same chain ID. Aomi prefers the managed instance for simulation and the
external endpoint for broadcast.

The following example uses the backend's provider schema:

```toml providers.toml theme={null}
[api-keys]
alchemy_api_key = "{ALCHEMY_API_KEY}"

[runtime]
sync_interval = 10
refork_interval = 300

# Private Ethereum fork used for simulation.
[anvil-instances.ethereum]
chain_id = 1
fork_url = "https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/{ALCHEMY_API_KEY}"
fallback_urls = ["https://ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com"]

# Stable Ethereum endpoint used for direct network access.
[external.ethereum-broadcast]
chain_id = 1
rpc_url = "https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/{ALCHEMY_API_KEY}"

# Private Base fork used for simulation.
[anvil-instances.base]
chain_id = 8453
fork_url = "https://base-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/{ALCHEMY_API_KEY}"

# Stable Base endpoint used for direct network access.
[external.base-broadcast]
chain_id = 8453
rpc_url = "https://mainnet.base.org"
```

The configuration has four relevant parts:

* **`[api-keys]`** resolves placeholders without putting credentials in RPC
  URLs. A value such as `"{ALCHEMY_API_KEY}"` reads the matching environment
  variable when Aomi starts.
* **`[runtime]`** sets the default refresh cadence for managed forks. Set an
  interval to `0` to disable that refresh behavior.
* **`[anvil-instances]`** creates isolated EVM forks. Each entry requires a
  unique name and a chain ID. `fork_url` supplies the upstream state.
* **`[external]`** registers direct RPC endpoints. These entries do not start a
  local fork.

Aomi resolves placeholders and validates the complete file at startup. Missing
environment variables, duplicate names, and duplicate chain IDs within the
same table stop the configuration from loading. A managed entry and an
external entry may share a chain ID because they serve different parts of the
flow.

Pass a specific file with `--providers <path>` or set `PROVIDERS_TOML`. Without
either option, Aomi searches for `providers.toml` from the current directory
upward.

## Add another EVM chain

You can add an EVM-compatible network without creating a new execution path:

1. Find the network's canonical chain ID and a reliable RPC endpoint.
2. Add an `[anvil-instances.<name>]` entry with that `chain_id` and `fork_url`.
   This gives Aomi a private fork for simulation.
3. Add an `[external.<name>]` entry with the same `chain_id` and a stable
   `rpc_url`. Use a different entry name.
4. Restart the process that loads `providers.toml`. Configuration is read and
   validated at startup.
5. If the chain must appear in a browser wallet selector, add its display and
   wallet metadata to that client as well. Provider configuration adds runtime
   routing, not client presentation metadata.

Adding a provider does not authorize an App to use the chain. The App's guard
table and the wallet's signing policy still apply to every transaction.

## Built-in client networks

The standard Aomi client includes wallet-selector metadata for the following
networks. Use the listed chain ID as `chain_context.chain_id` from MCP or as
the transaction's network identifier. Your active `providers.toml` still
determines which networks a self-hosted runtime can reach.

**Mainnets**

| Network               | Chain ID |
| --------------------- | -------- |
| Ethereum              | 1        |
| Arbitrum One          | 42161    |
| OP Mainnet (Optimism) | 10       |
| Base                  | 8453     |
| Polygon               | 137      |
| Linea Mainnet         | 59144    |
| Monad                 | 143      |
| Robinhood Chain       | 4663     |
| MegaETH               | 4326     |

**Testnets and local networks**

| Network               | Chain ID |
| --------------------- | -------- |
| Base Sepolia          | 84532    |
| Sepolia               | 11155111 |
| Linea Sepolia Testnet | 59141    |
| Monad Testnet         | 10143    |
| Arc Testnet           | 5042002  |
| Anvil                 | 31337    |

Arc Testnet displays USDC as its native fee currency. Anvil is available for
local development but does not appear as a public hosted-network choice.

A batch can contain transactions for more than one configured chain. Each
transaction keeps its own chain ID, so Aomi routes every simulation and
broadcast independently.

## Simulation on managed forks

Before you sign, Aomi runs the batch against a private copy of the current
state for every affected network. The simulation does not enter a public
mempool and cannot modify the source chain.

Transactions execute in order. State produced by one transaction becomes
available to the next transaction in the batch. For example, an `approve`
followed by a `swap` succeeds only when the swap can use the allowance created
by the preceding approval.

Each step reports whether it succeeded, its gas use, and a decoded reason when
it reverts. A revert stops the flow before your wallet receives a signature
request.

## Account abstraction

Account abstraction lets one signature authorize a batch of calls. It can also
allow a sponsor to pay gas. See
[Account abstraction](/docs/concepts/account-abstraction) for the owner, executor,
signing, and confirmation lifecycle.

Aomi supports two EVM account-abstraction standards:

* **EIP-7702.** An existing EOA delegates execution to smart-account code while
  retaining the same address.
* **EIP-4337.** A smart account executes a user operation through a bundler and
  remains owned by the EOA.

Both lanes preserve the same policy boundary. The runtime prepares the batch,
the authorized wallet signs one hash, and the account executes the calls as
one operation.

## Typed data

Orders, permits, and off-chain approvals often use EIP-712 typed data. Aomi
treats each typed-data request as a wallet action. The request includes the
complete structured payload and follows the same pending approval flow as a
transaction. Calling it a signature does not create a less restrictive path.

## Guards

An App can restrict EVM writes with per-chain guard rules. A guarded
transaction must satisfy every applicable check:

* **Chain scope.** The chain ID must belong to the App's allowed set.
* **Contract allowlist.** The target address must be approved.
* **Selector allowlist.** The calldata selector must identify an approved
  function.
* **Approval scope.** An ERC-20 `approve` call may grant allowance only to an
  approved spender.

Guards fail closed when Aomi cannot decode the required fields. They constrain
where an App may send calls. They do not determine whether an allowed trade is
economically favorable. Simulation and your review cover that decision.

## Fees

Aomi can quote a service fee from the simulated gas total. The fee is appended
as a separate transfer after the requested calls. Its transaction hash remains
separate from the hashes produced by your action.

Fee attachment currently applies to single-chain batches. A multi-chain batch
does not receive an invented cross-chain fee. If Aomi cannot produce a fee
quote, it does not inject a fee.
