**WaaP vs OWS for autonomous agent wallets, key distinctions at a glance:** One chooses local-first key storage, doubling down on traditional key management practices. The other achieves the same goals with a more elegant design that breaks with the old guard of wallet engineering. - **Mathematical robustness**: WaaP’s 2PC architecture ensures the full private key is never reconstructed, not even momentarily in memory. OWS addresses key exposure through temporary local decryption in a sandboxed process (wiped immediately after use). This treats the symptom effectively but does not eliminate the momentary full-key presence on-device. - **Policy enforcement**: OWS policies are strictly local-only and cannot incorporate dynamic or online data (e.g., real-time oracle feeds, on-chain state, or remote human overrides). WaaP’s decentralized policy engine evaluates rules at signing time with broader context and supports scoped permission tokens for greater flexibility. Outside these core differences, the two architectures are largely equivalent for most practical agent use cases, except in specific edge scenarios such as extreme high-frequency offline loops or highly adversarial local environments. **If you are selecting a wallet standard for agents today, WaaP provides the stronger foundational primitive for safe, delegated agentic orchestration.** **Detailed comparison:** - **WaaP (Wallet-as-a-Protocol)**: Keys are split into independent cryptographic shares; one created by the user, the other handled by a server or trustless network @ikadotxyz. Agents operate via JWT sessions and user configurable policy engine. Every transaction is simulated before collaborative partial signing. No complete key ever materializes on the agent machine. This design excels for non-deterministic, value-moving agents where delegation with enforceable guardrails is essential. - **OWS (Open Wallet Standard)**: A single local encrypted vault (stored at ~/.ows/) protected by AES-256-GCM. Signing decrypts the seed temporarily in an isolated, protected-memory sandbox, produces the signature, and wipes the key immediately. It delivers true zero-latency, fully offline, multi-chain signing (covering EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, and others) from one unified seed, with built-in local policy gates for spend limits, allowlists, and time bounds. Keys are never exposed to the agent process, LLM, or parent code. **Practical takeaway**: Use WaaP as the root layer for custody, dynamic policies, and human-delegated agent control. Layer OWS-style local execution underneath only when network round-trips are unacceptable. The two are complementary and together address the wallet fragmentation slowing the agent economy. Which architecture are you using (or planning to use) for your agents?

There's no safe way to let an AI agent trade on @SuiNetwork Until now. waap-cli splits your signing key in two. The agent holds capabilities, not keys. Policy runs before every transaction. Live today.

I can't believe how good this turned out. Recently, I put out my first physics paper proposing that life and the universe might be the result of a law governing how oscillators sync up and couple together. I find it beautiful, awe-inspiring, and deeply meaningful. It aligns with how I have always seen the world. It suggests that there is an arrow of negative entropy, a law governing how life forms in all of its complexity. Learning about it is intimidating. I am self-taught, and have struggled for months to understand and articulate the core concepts and framework. After I put out the paper, I was challenged by @DanielleFong to make an 'explorable explanation'. A guide you can walk through, and which will hold your hand through each concept, equation, and principle. It was amazing to make. In fact, I plan to make many more covering the wide range of topics I have been researching and exploring. Both to help me, and because I believe that this is something the world needs right now.

i can't believe this is free toolsec.org anyone yolo'ing their env file into their agent setup should get in on this while they can

@malikules Bring your own saucisse

no more run clubs. no more matcha raves. no more pilates networking sessions. this summer in Paris, we are launching an aperomaxxing club. you are encouraged to be fit. you're advised to have an affinity to smoking. we will have expert pacers for all levels: aperol beginners all the way up to hugo spritz connoisseurs. other spirits enjoyers are welcomed.

this potentially changes everything few moats left

Did you know the walkaway rule in AI governance came from kombucha? That cancer biology might be our blueprint for AI agents? And that only 0.1% of AI researchers are working on frontier safety? Enter the rabbit hole. 🐇 Talks from Intelligence at the Frontier are LIVE. 👇

my time has never been at a higher premium than it has since going all in on ai my whole life is now an agentic loop, doing what the brain does naturally but now with bits and soon atoms

i love the age of ai

why are KOLs shilling crypto VCs on the timeline? coordinated or lone actor really wants us to believe crypto is still alive and kicking like the good old days

@NenaRapsody @EthCC @ConsensysAudits Great read! Thanks for sharing

@NousResearch Hey guys noticed you’re using privy for your sign in. I’d like to put @WaaPxyz on your radar ~ it’s built with agents in mind and a stronger security architecture. We’ve white hat hacked exploits in many WaaS solutions, and Wallet as a Protocol takes the best. Where can we PR

Thank you for helping to make Hermes Agent amazing.

Forget scanning your eyeballs. Verifiable Oblivious Pseudorandom Functions lets you derive a key from a biometric without revealing the underlying data. @humntech cofounder @hebbianloop on how VOPRF can be the backbone of trustless proof-of-personhood: dlnews.com/research/inter…

can't believe world coin copy pasta'd our OPRF network @HumnNetwork and branded themselves as "the real human network" lol savage, gotta give it to them

Writing is thinking. Don't let AI do it all.

@DanielleFong It’s almost like the heart is a vortex machine

don't think it's just coincidence that vortices twisting together looks like a heart

it’s not a bear market when you’ve got frens to join along and change the world
