Session Keys & Security

How non custodial automation works

Edge Poly is built around a strict non custodial model where the platform never gains possession or transferable control of user funds. Instead, the system generates a temporary session key that carries extremely limited permissions, restricted to the exact actions required by the Chain: redeeming resolved positions, performing conversions into the settlement asset, and submitting orders into the chosen target market. These keys cannot withdraw funds, cannot alter unrelated holdings, and cannot access any asset outside the boundaries defined in the Chain. Each session key is short-lived and automatically expires upon Chain completion, user-initiated revocation, or any detected risk condition that might compromise safe execution. Every step taken by the execution engine is recorded in a transparent audit log so the user can retrace actions, verify timestamps, and understand how each automated decision was made. The security model emphasizes isolation, revocability, and clarity, ensuring that automation enhances user control rather than diluting it.
