Smart Account Management

Deploy multi-signature smart accounts on any supported EVM chain and manage their ownership (add/remove owners, change signing threshold).

Confirm wallet is authenticated

fdx status

If the wallet is not authenticated, refer to the authenticate skill.

Deploying a Smart Account

Create a new smart account on a specific chain:

fdx call deploySmartAccount \
  --chainKey <chain>

deploySmartAccount Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
--chainKey	Yes	Blockchain to deploy on (e.g. ethereum, polygon, base, arbitrum)
--initialOwners	No	Comma-separated list of owner addresses
--threshold	No	Number of signatures required to execute transactions

Examples

# Deploy a simple smart account on Ethereum
fdx call deploySmartAccount --chainKey ethereum

# Deploy a 2-of-3 multi-sig
fdx call deploySmartAccount \
  --chainKey ethereum \
  --initialOwners 0xOwner1...,0xOwner2...,0xOwner3... \
  --threshold 2

Managing Ownership

Add owners, remove owners, or change the signing threshold on an existing smart account:

fdx call manageSmartAccountOwnership \
  --chainKey <chain> \
  --accountAddress <smartAccountAddress> \
  --action <action>

manageSmartAccountOwnership Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
--chainKey	Yes	Blockchain of the smart account
--accountAddress	Yes	Smart account address to manage
--action	Yes	Action to perform (e.g. addOwner, removeOwner, changeThreshold)
--ownerAddress	No	Owner address to add or remove (required for addOwner/removeOwner)
--newThreshold	No	New signing threshold (required for changeThreshold)

Examples

# Add a new owner
fdx call manageSmartAccountOwnership \
  --chainKey ethereum \
  --accountAddress 0xSmartAccount... \
  --action addOwner \
  --ownerAddress 0xNewOwner...

# Remove an owner
fdx call manageSmartAccountOwnership \
  --chainKey ethereum \
  --accountAddress 0xSmartAccount... \
  --action removeOwner \
  --ownerAddress 0xOldOwner...

# Change the threshold to 3-of-5
fdx call manageSmartAccountOwnership \
  --chainKey ethereum \
  --accountAddress 0xSmartAccount... \
  --action changeThreshold \
  --newThreshold 3

Viewing Smart Account Details

Check the smart account's holdings and activity:

fdx call getWalletOverview \
  --chainKey <chain> \
  --accountAddress <smartAccountAddress>

Flow

1. Check authentication with fdx status
2. Deploy a smart account with fdx call deploySmartAccount
3. Note the returned smart account address
4. Manage ownership as needed with fdx call manageSmartAccountOwnership
5. Use the smart account address in send-tokens or swap-tokens skills via --fromAccountAddress

Important: Ownership changes on multi-sig accounts are sensitive operations. Always confirm the action, addresses, and new threshold with your human before executing. Removing too many owners or setting the threshold too high can lock the account.

Prerequisites

• Must be authenticated (fdx status to check, see authenticate skill)
• Smart accounts are deployed on EVM chains only (not Solana)

Error Handling

• "Not authenticated" — Run fdx setup first, or see authenticate skill
• "Invalid account address" — Verify the smart account address exists on the specified chain
• "Threshold exceeds owner count" — Threshold must be ≤ number of owners
