Empower agents to transact from wallets built on Privy
Secure, scoped wallet access for CLIs, MCP servers, and other agent environments

Agents can now securely access and transact from wallets built on Privy.
Developers can give agents permission to use a user's wallet through a simple browser-based authorization flow. No app secrets, custom backends, or complex authentication setup required.
The same flow works across CLIs, MCP servers, skills, and other agent environments. Authorize once, and the agent can securely transact on the user's behalf from that point on, which makes it ideal for building autonomous commerce, agent workflows, and more.
One authorization flow, every surface
When an agent needs access to a wallet, it generates a short authorization code. The user opens a browser, signs in with Privy, reviews the requested permissions, and approves access.
Once approved, the agent can interact with the user's wallet without ever handling private keys, credentials, or other sensitive information directly.
The same authorization flow works across CLIs, MCP servers, skills, and other agent environments, giving developers a consistent way to connect agents to wallets securely.
No secrets, no proxy
Previously, giving agents wallet access typically meant choosing between two approaches:
Embedding credentials in the agent. Fast to implement, but if the agent environment is compromised, wallet access can be exposed.
Routing everything through a backend. More secure, but adds infrastructure, complexity, and latency to every request.
By letting users authorize agents directly, developers no longer have to make that tradeoff. They can ship faster, and users get a safer way to authorize agents to act on their behalf.
Building with Privy
Developers are already using this authorization flow to power real-world agent workflows.
Nava provides arbiter-based verification for AI agent blockchain transactions.
It combines escrow, safety analysis, and financial coverage to make autonomous execution reliable and institution-ready.
Using Privy, Nava's agents receive scoped wallet authorization without secrets distributed to agent infrastructure.
Superpower is building agents that learn, act, and evolve.
Every SuperClaw runs autonomously: acquiring new skills, compounding what it knows, executing onchain, with its own wallet scoped to exactly what it's allowed to touch, authorized natively through Privy
Real, self-improving agency inside hard boundaries.
Both teams chose this approach because it matches how agents actually operate: independently, within defined permissions, and without requiring users to share credentials directly.
Get started
Whether you're building a CLI, MCP server, or hosted agent, Privy gives users a simple and secure way to authorize agents to act on their behalf.
