POLICY ENGINE
Define how agents transact with programmable policies, approvals, and spending limits while maintaining oversight.
In-app transaction signing
Sponsored transactions
Human-in-the-loop approval workflows
Custom transaction flows
Whether agents manage their own wallets, act on behalf of users, or require human approval, Privy supports a range of authorization models.
Autonomous agents
Give agents wallets to hold funds and transact within programmable guardrails.
Delegated agents
Let agents transact for users with scoped permissions and secure authorization.
Human-in-the-loop systems
Require user approval for sensitive actions before agents can transact.
CASE STUDY
Challenge:
For agents to transact autonomously, payments need to fit directly into how they operate. Agents need secure access to funds, while developers need clear controls over how and when those funds can be spent.
Solution:
AWS AgentCore payments integrates with Privy to give agents embedded wallets and programmable controls. Developers can provision and fund wallets for agents, delegate spending authority, and set limits so agents can pay for services in real time within clearly defined boundaries.

From agent authorization to programmable guardrails, find answers to common questions about building with agent wallets.
What are agentic payments?
Agentic payments are financial transactions initiated and executed autonomously by AI agents without requiring human approval at the moment of purchase. Privy provides the wallet infrastructure that gives agents the ability to hold balances, sign transactions, and move funds on behalf of users or systems.
What is an agentic wallet?
An agentic wallet is a programmable crypto wallet controlled by an AI agent rather than a human user. Privy’s agentic wallets can be provisioned instantly via SDK or CLI, attached to policy rules, and operated fully autonomously or with scoped human oversight.
How do you prevent an AI agent from overspending?
Privy’s policy engine enforces guardrails at the infrastructure level — transfer limits, contract allowlists, recipient restrictions, and time-based windows. These are enforced cryptographically, not just as prompt instructions the agent can ignore.
Who controls the private keys for an agentic wallet?
Privy supports multiple custody models. Developer-owned wallets give full backend control. User-owned wallets let agents act as scoped signers with limited permissions. Keys are never stored whole; TEE and key sharding isolate every signing operation.
What is the Privy Agent CLI?
The Agent CLI is a command-line tool that lets AI agents create, fund, and transact with crypto wallets by executing shell commands — the native way agents interact with tools. Agents never touch private keys directly. Humans retain full visibility through a dashboard to monitor balances, view history, and manage funding.
How do agentic wallets work with crypto?
Privy agentic wallets support Ethereum, EVM-compatible chains such as Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Tempo, plus Solana. Agents can hold stablecoins, sign transactions, and settle payments on-chain, all from a single integration.
Does Privy work with agent frameworks?
Yes. Privy is framework-agnostic. The wallet SDK and Agent CLI integrate into any agent harness — LangChain, AWS AgentCore, Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, or custom-built orchestration.
What is Privy’s wallet infrastructure for AI agents?
Privy provides server-side wallet provisioning and orchestration that gives AI apps and agents onchain capabilities, including smart wallet support and multichain compatibility, all at web2-scale performance.
Which blockchains does Privy support for AI agent wallets?
Privy supports both EVM-compatible chains and Solana by default, and includes embedded swap and bridging flows so AI apps are not locked into any single chain.
How does Privy keep AI agent wallets secure?
Privy uses a self-custodial architecture where only the rightful owner can administer their wallet, ensuring agents operate within defined boundaries without compromising user control.
Can Privy handle wallet infrastructure at scale?
Yes, Privy processes over 115 million monthly signatures with signature times under 20ms, and supports over 120 million accounts with four 9s SLAs.
What onchain actions can AI agents perform with Privy wallets?
Agents can transact onchain, receive payments, interact across applications, and leverage smart wallet features, all through Privy’s server wallets and granular controls.
Does Privy support gas management for AI agent transactions?
Yes, Privy includes gas management tooling that allows developers to subsidize gas and dynamically adjust it based on network conditions.
How quickly can developers integrate Privy’s AI wallet infrastructure?
Privy is designed to get developers started in minutes and live in hours, using simple APIs that work across any environment.
