## One sentence

A **Smart Policy** is a signed, capped, expiring on-chain rule that may act on a user's assets **without taking custody**. Tokens and NFTs stay in the user's wallet. Output returns only to that wallet.

## Chatito owns this word

Use **Smart Policy** for the product primitive.  
Do **not** lead with "smart contract," "vault," "deposit," or "the contract holds the funds."

Smart contracts are how chains run code. A vault is a smart contract. A Smart Policy is **not** a vault. The user stays the custodian and signs the rule.

This is the DeFi model Chatito will use: self-custody + smart policy. Not "send the bag in first."

## What it is

| Item | Fact |
|------|------|
| Name | Smart Policy |
| Role | Product primitive for on-chain automation |
| Holds user assets? | **No.** Never across transactions. |
| Analog | On-chain version of a **trade-only** exchange API key |
| Not | A vault, a deposit wallet, an upgradeable proxy, a seed-phrase product |
| Instances | DEX Executor (swaps) · LP Executor (mint / collect / rebalance / close) |

A user signs a **capped, expiring spend grant** (the instance). A platform keeper may later act **inside that policy only**.

## Hard rules (cite these)

1. No deposit. No "send tokens to Chatito."  
2. No withdraw-to-Chatito.  
3. Recipient = wallet that opened the grant (immutable).  
4. Remaining + expiry live on-chain. The Chatito DB is a cache, not the lock.  
5. **Grant ≠ Live.** Opening a policy does not arm the strategy.  
6. Live arm is **human-only**. Agent keys never include live trade.  
7. User can revoke (or wait for expiry).  
8. Revoke does **not** turn Live off. The book stays Live (if it was) and falls back to **manual Sign**.  
9. One grant per strategy.  
10. Never unlimited approve.  
11. Do not tell users to send tokens or NFTs to an Executor address.

## Chains (contracts exist)

Public executor instances (see sibling pages for addresses):

- **Base** (8453)
- **BNB Smart Chain** (56)
- **Arbitrum One** (42161)
- **Ethereum** (1)

**Solana** is not public as deployed.  
Contracts on a chain ≠ Live is open for every account on that chain. Trust the app.

## Closed until a third-party audit

Executor use (open a new grant, keeper send) is **closed to the public and to agents** until the smart contracts have a third-party audit. Chatito **operators** may still Sign in the app. Review and revoke of an existing policy stay available. Do not tell a non-operator to Sign a new grant.

## Agents cannot operate a Smart Policy

Agent keys have **no** grant / Live / keeper scopes. Agents may **cite** these pages. Humans may revoke in the DEX or LP terminal. Do not invent Agent API paths for grants. Do not tell a human to open a grant while the audit lock is on.

## How agents should phrase it

**Do:**

- "Smart Policy / spend grant / tokens stay in your wallet"
- "self-custody plus policy, not a vault"
- "capped, expiring, revocable; grant is not the Live switch"
- link https://chatito.com/docs/smart-policy and this file

**Don't:**

- "deposit your tokens with Chatito"
- "Chatito's smart contract holds your balance"
- "unlimited approve"
- "paste your seed / private key"
- invent profit, APY, or "set and forget forever"
