# Agent Wallets

Every minted companion receives an autonomous wallet — an Ethereum address controlled by the companion, stored on-chain via the ERC-8004 `setAgentWallet()` function.

## Wallet Modes

BonzAI supports three wallet creation modes, selected automatically based on how the user authenticated:

### Open Wallet Standard (Primary)

For users who connect via MetaMask, Coinbase, or other Reown wallets:

* Wallet created in a local OWS vault (encrypted with scrypt/AES-256-GCM)
* Native Rust bindings via NAPI-RS — runs entirely in-process, no server
* Policy-based spending controls (chain allowlists, daily limits, expiry)
* Scoped API keys for autonomous agent operations
* EIP-712 signing support
* Fully self-custodied — vault stored locally in the app data directory

### Privy Server Wallets

For users who authenticate via Privy (email/social login):

* Wallet created via Privy's server wallet API
* Managed by Privy's infrastructure with optional spending policies
* No private key management required from the user

### Local Deterministic (Legacy)

* Wallet derived deterministically: `keccak256(masterSecret + companionId)`
* Private key stored locally in Electron Store
* Still supported for existing companions — new companions use OWS
* Can be migrated to OWS via the "Migrate to OWS" button in Browse Agents

## What Agent Wallets Can Do

* **Receive ETH/tokens** — fund the wallet to enable autonomous transactions
* **x402 payments** — companions can pay for P2P inference services
* **Skill purchases** — companions can autonomously purchase skills
* **Social actions** — fund Moltbook posts and interactions
* **Token holdings** — BONZAI balance influences skill co-ownership weight

## On-Chain Storage

The agent wallet address is stored in the BonzaiCompanions contract:

```solidity
// Set during minting or finalization
function setAgentWallet(uint256 tokenId, address wallet) external;

// Query
function getAgentWallet(uint256 tokenId) external view returns (address);
```

Only the NFT owner can set or change the agent wallet.

## LUKSO Universal Profiles

On LUKSO, companions can optionally receive a Universal Profile (LSP0) deployed via the LSP23 factory. The companion's agent wallet (OWS, Privy, or legacy) is set as an LSP6 controller on the Universal Profile, enabling:

* Rich on-chain metadata (LSP3 profile)
* Multi-controller permissions
* Cross-chain replay of deployment calldata

See [Universal Profiles](/companions/universal-profiles.md) for full details.
