# Agent wallet (instant trading)

> Sign orders locally without a wallet popup on every action. Trade only, revocable, and it can never withdraw.

By default, every order asks your wallet to sign. That is safe, but a popup on
each action gets in the way of active trading. An agent wallet fixes this.

## What it is

An agent wallet (also called an API wallet on Hyperliquid) is a separate key,
generated in your browser, that you authorize once to sign orders on your
behalf. After that, orders sign locally and instantly, with no popup.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enable instant trading">
    From the trade page, choose to enable the agent wallet. Your main wallet
    signs one approval (approveAgent).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Orders sign locally">
    From then on, placing and cancelling orders is instant. No wallet prompt per
    order.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What it can and cannot do

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Can" icon="circle-check">
    Place, modify, and cancel orders, and adjust leverage.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cannot" icon="circle-xmark">
    Withdraw funds or transfer your balance. Ever. Withdrawals always require
    your main wallet.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  The agent key lives only in your browser and is scoped to trading. It is not
  shared with Agonaut's servers.
</Note>

## Revoking

You can revoke the agent at any time. After revoking, orders fall back to a
normal wallet signature until you enable instant trading again. If the key ever
becomes invalid, Agonaut detects it and asks you to re enable.
