# M4 — Wallets (sovereign custody)
## 1. Component
The economy organ's vault: **sovereign, local-hosted, our-custody-only cryptocurrency wallets**.
Each wallet binds to exactly one Trader (M5) — strictly 1:1 both directions. A single wallet
handles multiple chains internally (EVM, Solana, etc.). A trader without a wallet cannot access
the Marketplace (M1). Wallets hold keys, sign transactions, and enforce wallet-level trade limits.
Tax is collected on trader income and routed to the Verschwörern Veregeister wallets (stub — M0).
## 2. Status / certainty
DESIGN-FIRST · ABSENT. Role C4 (sovereign custody is a hard requirement); implementation C1.
## 3. Language & location
TBD · `src/economy/wallets/`. Needs cryptographic key management (secp256k1 for EVM, ed25519 for
Solana, etc.)
## 4. Does / does-not
- **Does:** generate and store private keys locally (never transmitted); sign transactions on
behalf of the bound trader; enforce per-wallet spending limits (daily, per-transaction);
track wallet balance and transaction history; collect tax on realized income and stage for
transfer to Verschwörern Veregeister wallets; bind 1:1 to a Trader (M5).
- **Does-not:** decide what to trade (Trader decides); route to chain (Marketplace does);
hold keys for the organism's other wallets (Verschwörern Veregeister are separate); delegate
custody to any third party — ever.
## 5. Interface contract
- `sign(wallet_id, tx: UnsignedTransaction) -> SignedTransaction` — signs with the wallet's key.
Only the bound trader can request signing.
- `balance(wallet_id) -> { chain, assets: [{ token, amount }] }`.
- `spending_check(wallet_id)`.
- taxes are out of scope
## 6. Dependencies & stubs
- M5 Traders — 1:1 binding; *stub:* canned trader ID.
- M1 Marketplace — signing requests come through marketplace only; *stub:* direct sign call.
- Blockchain nodes — balance queries and tx broadcast; *stub:* simulated chain state.
- Verschwörern Veregeister wallets — tax destination; *stub:* log transfer.
## 7. Invariants / laws
- **L1 (C5):** **sovereign custody only** — private keys are generated locally, stored locally,
and **never leave the wallet**. No custodial service, no exchange deposit, no trust with external
parties. Our keys, our coins.
- **L2 (C5):** **1:1 trader binding** — each wallet is bound to exactly one trader. A trader
cannot use another trader's wallet. The Marketplace enforces this.
- **L3 (C4):** **signing requires Marketplace confirmation** — a wallet will not sign a transaction
that didn't receive direct authorization from Marketpakce (M1-L1). No direct signing API for traders.
- **L4 (C4):** **spending limits are wallet-level** — independent of Conductor or Marketplace
limits. Defense in depth: even if other rules fail, the wallet itself caps exposure.
- **L5 (C4):** **tax collection is automatic** — realized income triggers tax staging. The trader
cannot opt out. OUT OF SCOPE
## 8. Build steps
1. Implement key generation and secure storage.
2. Implement transaction signing for one chain.
3. Implement trader binding and Marketplace-only signing enforcement.
4. Implement algorithmic limits.
## 9. Tests
Custody: private key never appears in any response, messages, or log.
Binding: wrong trader cannot sign.
Trade limits: over-limit transaction rejects; risk :: reward ratio below-limit rejects.
Tax: out of scope.
Multi-chain: every chain produces valid signatures.
## 10. Open items
- Key storage format.
- Which chains to support initially. (all of them)
- Spending limit configuration (correction: This is algorithmic and hardcoded.)
- Key rotation / backup strategy.
