Blockchain Wallet · Custodial

The wallet auto-trading actually uses on chain.

Backend strategies cannot prompt MetaMask when you're asleep. The Vant8 Blockchain Wallet is an opt-in custodial wallet on each supported chain that signs unattended transactions on your behalf — for Hyperliquid perps, scheduled DEX execution, and any on-chain strategy bot that needs to act without you. Vant8 charges no fee on this path — you pay network gas and the on-chain AMM fee only. Vant8 holds the key material; that is the trade-off you make for hands-off automation. You can withdraw out at any time.

How it works

Four steps from enable to first signed transaction

01

Vant8 derives a wallet for you

A unique address is derived per-user from server-side master key material. The same address is reused across every supported chain so you fund one address per network.

02

Key material is encrypted at rest

The signing key for your derived wallet is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it touches storage. Production deployments use cloud KMS for the unwrap so plaintext keys never live in the application database.

03

You fund the address

Send funds from your own wallet to the derived address on the chain you want to automate on. A deposit-monitor picks up the inbound transfer once it confirms on-chain.

04

Vant8 signs and broadcasts

Strategies and scheduled flows trigger the wallet to build, sign, and broadcast the transaction — no MetaMask prompt, no manual click. The dashboard shows every transaction and its on-chain status.

What it powers

The surfaces that need the Blockchain Wallet

If the action has to happen while you are not at the keyboard, it runs through the Blockchain Wallet.

Hyperliquid perpetual futures

Your Hyperliquid account is the same EVM address as your Blockchain Wallet. Deposits bridge through Arbitrum, perp orders are signed automatically by the same derived key — no MetaMask prompt per trade.

Unattended on-chain automation

Time-based and threshold-triggered on-chain actions that the platform has built to run while you are away. The wallet's signing path is the only way Vant8 can broadcast on-chain transactions without you in the browser to approve each one.

What it does not power

Some on-chain features stay on your connected wallet

Not every on-chain feature on Vant8 routes through the Blockchain Wallet. CoW Protocol limit orders and Yield Farming actions are user-initiated and signed by your Connect-Wallet EOA — that's deliberate, so you authorise each one yourself.

CoW Protocol limit orders sign through your EOA

When you place a CoW limit order, your connected wallet provides the EIP-712 signature. The Blockchain Wallet is not involved — by design, because a limit order is a user decision that you should consciously sign.

Yield Farming approvals and deposits sign through your EOA

Farming approvals, deposits, claims, withdrawals, and remove-liquidity calls are all signed by your connected wallet. Vant8 never holds your LP tokens or reward tokens, and the Blockchain Wallet is not on this path.

Automatic gas rebalance

The wallet keeps itself gassed up

On-chain automation runs into a specific failure mode — the wallet has funds but not enough native gas to move them. Vant8 monitors the native balance on every supported chain and, when it drops below the chain's threshold, swaps a small amount of your USDT to native gas at a per-chain DEX. Unattended flows don't stop for want of gas.

Native balance monitored per chain

A background job checks your wallet's native token (BNB on BSC, ETH on Ethereum / Arbitrum / Optimism, POL on Polygon, AVAX on Avalanche) on a regular interval. Each chain has its own minimum and target balance.

USDT swapped for gas on the venue DEX

When the native balance drops below the chain's minimum, a small amount of your USDT is swapped for the native token — using the leading DEX on each chain (PancakeSwap on BSC, Uniswap V3 on Ethereum, QuickSwap on Polygon, Camelot on Arbitrum, Velodrome on Optimism, TraderJoe on Avalanche).

Preventive, not reactive

The trigger threshold sits well above the minimum gas needed to actually execute the refill swap. The wallet refills before it runs out — so it never gets stuck with 'need gas to buy gas.'

Notifications when refill fires or fails

You get a notification when a refill happens, and an alert if the wallet's USDT balance isn't enough to cover the refill. Top up the USDT balance and the next cycle resumes automation.

Chains

Six chains, one address

HD derivation produces the same EVM address on every chain, so you only have one wallet identity to fund across networks.

How you use it from the dashboard

Everything you need to manage the wallet lives in the dashboard. Wallet generation and key custody stay on Vant8's side by design — that's what makes unattended automation possible.

View balance and address anytime

The dashboard shows your derived address, live balance per chain, and a full transaction history — every transaction signed on your behalf is logged with its on-chain status.

Withdraw out anytime

Initiate a withdrawal from the dashboard and the funds move to any external address you control on the same chain. There is no lock-up beyond the on-chain confirmation time.

Custody model

Vant8 holds this key — here's what that means

Convenience and custody are a trade-off. The Blockchain Wallet's whole reason to exist is unattended automation, which requires Vant8 to be able to sign without you. The four points below describe exactly what that entails so you can decide before enabling it.

Custodial relationship

This is materially different from your connected EOA. Vant8 controls the signing key — encrypted at rest, scoped to the surfaces you enable, but Vant8-controlled nonetheless. If you want pure non-custodial signing, use Connect Wallet instead and accept that strategies cannot auto-execute.

Single point of trust

A compromise of Vant8's master-key infrastructure would compromise the derivation. We isolate the unwrap path through cloud KMS in production specifically to make that infrastructure the hardened surface — but the structural trust is real, and you should price it in.

No multi-sig or social recovery

The Blockchain Wallet today is a single-key model. There is no multi-sig, threshold, or social-recovery scheme. Withdrawal access depends on your Vant8 account access — protect your account credentials and second-factor accordingly.

Not insured, not a regulated custodian

Vant8 is not a registered custodian and carries no insurance on funds held in derived wallets. The Risk Disclosure covers what this means in practice.

Choosing between wallets

Blockchain Wallet vs. Connect Wallet

Both surfaces exist for different jobs. Most users end up using both.

Use the Blockchain Wallet when

A strategy needs to act without you (Hyperliquid perps, on-chain bots, scheduled DCA, auto-rebalancing). You accept Vant8-managed custody in exchange for unattended automation.

Use Connect Wallet when

You want to sign each action yourself — yield-farming approvals and deposits, CoW Protocol limit orders you place by hand, manual DEX swaps. Your keys never leave your wallet.

Unattended on-chain automation, signed on your behalf.

Enable the Blockchain Wallet to unlock Hyperliquid perps and unattended on-chain flows. Read the custody model first so you understand the trust trade-off.
