A mandate is a standing instruction with rules, limits and an end date that you review and sign with your passkey. It can authorize later actions only inside those signed rules and the account permissions actually installed.
Create and approve#
- Describe what to watch or do, the network and assets, when to act, the budget and the end date. Illustrative prompt: “Watch SOL below 100 USD for 1 day.”
- Maren drafts the mandate and checks it against your words and saved limits.
- Open the review card in the mandate center. Read your original words, the rules and the coverage: covered, narrowed or a gap.
- Complete any required account-permission setup, refresh coverage and sign the reviewed version with your passkey.
A mandate with no runnable coverage cannot be signed. A review failure blocks signing. An edit creates a new version requiring its own signature; the previous signed version remains in force until replacement.
What a mandate can authorize#
Read-only alerts can record a trigger without a signer. Supported Solana order and guardrail execution requires an installed delegate and current coverage. Drafting or signing does not make an unsupported engine or account runnable.
Money rules require a daily cap or total budget. The server checks the signed rule, reserve, budget, expiry, saved limits and stop state before submission. A missing required read stops execution. An unknown submitted outcome stays charged against the budget until resolved; it is not automatically retried as a new trade.
Pause, resume and revoke#
Use Pause or Revoke in the mandate center. Neither needs a signature. Pause all stops active mandates together. Resuming requires a fresh passkey approval. The end date also stops new execution.
A transaction submitted before the stop may still settle. The mandate ledger records decisions and outcomes. Revocation removes the server delegate key, while revoking the installed onchain role is a separate action. A mandate cannot undo settled trades or relax saved limits.
Copy automation and LP monitoring#
Copy mandates use a separately funded wallet and qualified leader receipts; review copy trading before funding. LP monitors watch an exact owned position for leaving its range or crossing a signed USD fee threshold. They notify only: monitoring does not authorize a claim, deposit or rebalance.
