# Signing

> Understand what happens after you ask Aomi to transact, when a wallet popup appears, and when signing can continue without you.

When you ask Aomi to swap, bridge, send, or interact with a protocol, Aomi first
builds and simulates a transaction. **Signing** is the separate step that gives
that transaction permission to act for your wallet.

This page follows the transaction-time experience: what you review, where a
signature comes from, and what status Aomi shows afterward. To choose or change
a wallet's behavior, use [Configure approvals](/docs/security/configure-approvals).

<Note>
  The **Auto** selector in the message composer chooses a model. It does not
  enable automatic wallet signing. Wallet signing is configured under
  **Settings → Account**.
</Note>

## When Aomi reaches signing

After the proposed transaction passes its safety checks, one of three things
happens:

1. **Your wallet asks you.** Review and approve or reject the transaction.
2. **An authorized signing path responds.** The connected wallet or embedded
   wallet provider signs without a per-transaction popup.
3. **Signing stops.** A locked wallet, missing session, revoked authorization,
   or rejected request produces no signature.

Aomi reports which path it is waiting on. It does not switch wallets or fall
back to a more permissive path.

## Manual: approve each transaction

With **Manual**, the sequence is visible and deliberate:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Aomi shows the proposed action">
    Review the assets, amount, network, destination, and simulated outcome in
    the conversation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your wallet opens">
    Your connected wallet interface displays its own transaction request.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You approve or reject">
    Approving produces the signature. Rejecting or closing the request stops
    the transaction without changing your signing setting.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Aomi reports the result">
    After submission, the conversation shows whether the transaction was
    submitted, confirmed, or failed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Before approving, check the network, wallet address, recipient or contract,
asset amounts, approval spender, every action in a batch, and the network fee.

<Warning>
  Simulation helps you understand the expected result, but it does not replace
  your review of the wallet request.
</Warning>

## Automatic signing: no transaction popup

With an automatic setting, Aomi sends the exact proposal to the signing path you
already authorized. If that path is available, the wallet signs without opening
a separate approval popup and Aomi reports the submission result.

If the connected client is unavailable or a provider authorization has expired
or been revoked, signing stops. Aomi never receives the private key and does not
replace the unavailable signer.

The two automatic settings serve different situations. **Auto-approve** uses
the active wallet session. **Bypass permissions** uses an eligible Privy or Para setup for
unattended work. The provider-specific setup and revocation steps live in
[Configure approvals](/docs/security/configure-approvals).

Every automatic transaction still passes the checks described in
[Transaction safety](/docs/security/transaction-safety).

## Scheduled and background work

A schedule stores what you want done later. It does not store a reusable
signature. When the task runs, Aomi resolves the wallet's current signing path
again. If that path needs you or is no longer available, the task cannot finish
unattended.

## If signing does not happen

| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Waiting for approval**          | Open the wallet request and approve or reject it.                              |
| **Signature declined**            | You rejected the request. Nothing changed.                                     |
| **Request expired**               | Start the action again to receive a fresh request.                             |
| **Automatic signing unavailable** | The required wallet session or provider authorization is missing.              |
| **Wrong wallet connected**        | Connect the wallet whose address appears in the request.                       |
| **Submitted**                     | The network received the signed transaction. Wait for confirmation.            |
| **Failed onchain**                | The transaction was signed and submitted, but execution failed on the network. |
