# Tresori Smart Wallet

In Tresori, a Smart Wallet is a programmable, policy-driven digital wallet that combines smart contracts, MPC-based key custody, and enterprise-grade controls to securely manage crypto assets without exposing or relying on a single private key.

Unlike traditional wallets (EOA wallets) that are controlled by **one private key**, a Tresori Smart Wallet is:

* **Code-controlled**
* **Policy-enforced**
* **Threshold-secured**
* **Enterprise-ready**

Think of it as a **self-governing wallet** that follows rules, approvals, and risk controls automatically.

### How a Tresori Smart Wallet is Architected

#### Tresori Control Plane

The Policy & Automation Engine is the governance layer of Tresori that controls who can do what, under which conditions, and with what level of risk. It sits above the Smart Wallet and ensures that every transaction follows predefined organizational, security, and compliance rules before any signing or blockchain interaction occurs.

* **Transaction rules:** Spending limits, allowed assets, approved destinations, and network restrictions
* **Approval flows:** Multi-level, conditional, and threshold-based approvals
* **Role-based permissions:** Fine-grained access control without shared keys
* **Compliance checks:** Pre-transaction validation against regulatory and internal policies
* **Risk scoring:** Contextual risk assessment with automatic escalation or blocking

#### **How it Works**

* **Evaluated before signing:** All policies are checked before the MPC signing starts
* **Enforced before broadcast:** Transactions are revalidated before being sent on-chain
* **Logged for auditability:** Every action and decision is immutably recorded

This engine transforms Tresori wallets into **enterprise-grade control systems**, enabling secure, automated, and compliant digital asset operations without exposing private keys or relying on manual oversight.
