What is Glosso?

From Glossokomon (γλωσσόκομον) — the ancient Greek word for a keeper of precious things.
Glosso gives any AI agent an autonomous, production-grade Solana wallet it fully controls — no human approval loop, no key exposure, no framework lock-in. Most wallet integrations for AI agents are either read-only, require human confirmation for every action, or expose private keys directly to the model. Glosso solves all three.

Provision in one command

Generate, encrypt, and configure a wallet with glosso provision. The raw private key is never printed.

Three signing backends

Sovereign (local AES-256-GCM), Privy (TEE), or Turnkey (HSM). Switch modes without touching agent code.

Skills architecture

Capabilities ship as SKILL.md manifests. The agent reads them at startup — no hardcoded capability lists in prompts.

Policy engine

Scoped permissions: per-tx spend limits, rate limits, program allowlists, time windows, and a kill switch.

​
The Two-Phase Model

Glosso’s lifecycle splits cleanly between the operator and the agent. Phase 1 — Provision (operator, one time) 
glosso provision --mode sovereign
Generates a wallet, encrypts keys, writes config to .env, and drops a GLOSSO.md capability manifest into the working directory. The raw private key is never written to disk or printed. Phase 2 — Runtime (agent, autonomous) The agent reads GLOSSO.md, discovers its tools (balance, send, price feeds, swaps), and operates without human input. Changing the signing backend requires only a config change — never a code change.

The agent never sees private key material. It calls tool functions that are backed by @glosso/core, which handles signing, policy enforcement, and activity logging transparently.
