Self-custodial wallets for AI agents
Smart accounts for agents with 2FA and spending limits.
Wallets weren't built for agents

→More FAQsSelf-custodial wallets for AI agents. Smart accounts for agents with 2FA and spending limits. Think of it as one Ethereum smart account you can drive from the terminal yourself or hand off to an agent—still yours, still on-chain.
Run npm install -g @elytro/cli (Node.js 18 or newer). If you’re using an agent—Claude Code, OpenClaw, and the like—copy the setup prompt from the homepage or Docs. It pulls the Elytro wallet skill from GitHub and walks through install, elytro init, creating an account on Arbitrum, email 2FA, and a daily spending limit, pausing when you need to approve something sensitive.
Agents call the same CLI you would: predictable commands, structured output. Limits and policies are enforced by your smart account, not by Elytro’s servers—so an agent can act within the guardrails you set, and you can always tighten them.
Anything that can follow multi-step instructions and run tools helps. As of April 2026, we’ve had the smoothest results with Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Opus 4.5, GPT-5.4, GPT-5.3-Codex, Gemini 3.1 Pro.
Spending limits (per transaction and per day), allowlisted addresses, which kinds of actions need a thumbs-up, and more. The smart contract enforces them; we don’t override that from our infrastructure.
We still believe in a great GUI—but for humans and agents sharing a wallet, the old “extension only” model isn’t the end state. The Chrome extension stays available for existing users while we build the next interface.
Your account lives on Ethereum. You can use another client or interact with the contract directly if you need to. Self-custody here means you’re not locked to our app to move your assets.
With the rise of ERC-4337 account abstraction… upcoming wallets like Elytro will make the technology user-friendly.
