Create agentic wallets with policy guardrails for autonomous onchain transactions

​
Capabilities

Once connected, your agent can perform these actions with crypto wallets.
  • Create server wallets on 10+ chains
  • Set spending limits and policy rules
  • Execute autonomous transactions
  • Multi-chain support (10+ networks)
  • Agent-to-agent payments
  • DeFi operations with contract allowlists
  • Policy-based transaction guardrails
  • Sign messages and typed data

​
Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Privy to your instances.

​
1. Create a Privy account and app

Go to dashboard.privy.io and create an account. Then create a new app for your agent wallets.

​
2. Get your API credentials

Navigate to Configuration → App settings → Basics. You’ll find your App ID and App Secret.

​
3. Store credentials in Environment

Go to Environment and create two new variables:
  • Name: PRIVY_APP_ID Value: Your Privy App ID
  • Name: PRIVY_APP_SECRET Value: Your Privy App Secret (keep this secure!)

​
4. Grant access to instances

Choose how instances should access these credentials:
  • Option A: Global Access (All instances) — Toggle “Make globally accessible” when creating the secrets.
  • Option B: Instance-Specific (Selective access) — In Environment, open the secret and grant the specific instance access.

​

​
Security & Policies

All wallets should have policies attached to control agent behavior.
⚠️ Mandatory Security Rule Never create a wallet without a policy. Policies define spending limits, chain restrictions, and contract allowlists to prevent abuse.

​
Example Policy

Conservative policy with 0.01 ETH limit on Base mainnet: 
{
  "name": "Conservative agent policy",
  "chain_type": "ethereum",
  "rules": [
    {
      "name": "Max 0.01 ETH per transaction",
      "method": "eth_sendTransaction",
      "conditions": [{
        "field": "value",
        "operator": "lte",
        "value": "10000000000000000"
      }],
      "action": "ALLOW"
    },
    {
      "name": "Base mainnet only",
      "method": "eth_sendTransaction",
      "conditions": [{
        "field": "chain_id",
        "operator": "eq",
        "value": "8453"
      }],
      "action": "ALLOW"
    }
  ]
}

​
Usage Example

Ask your agent:
“Create an Ethereum wallet on Base with a policy that limits transactions to 0.05 ETH max”
The agent will automatically create a policy with your constraints, create a wallet with that policy attached, and return the wallet address.
