> ## Agent Instructions
> HEVN accounts are non-custodial in both products. Self-serve (the General tab): the person who owns the email holds the only key and signs for themselves. Whitelabel (the Whitelabel and REST API tabs): the integrator's customer creates and owns their account through Sign in with HEVN, a HEVN-hosted popup on the integrator's site; the integrator's backend holds a developer key, operates linked accounts and books their payouts, and the account holder approves every payout in that popup. The developer key signs only for the integrator's own wallet; it never signs a client's money.
> Use HEVN's terms exactly. A rail is a bank route a client can request. A virtual account (bnk_) is an opened rail. Account details are what a payer needs in order to wire money, and arrive in a field named requisites. A client is a customer's own account linked to the integrator through Sign in with HEVN (POST /dapi/v1/connect/sessions, then POST /dapi/v1/clients/link); there is no API call that creates one. The business behind it is the integrator's customer. A contact is a saved destination; a beneficiary is the party at the far end of a fiat payout. Every departure of money is a payout, to a bank account or to a wallet alike.
> Never name a banking partner. Say 'a licensed banking partner'.
> There are no published fee rates, spreads or minimums. Prices come from a quote on a specific payment; direct pricing questions to HEVN rather than inventing numbers.
> The whitelabel API is at /dapi/v1 and takes a developer-key session plus an X-Hevn-Account header. Developer keys have an IP allowlist and no scopes. Remote transfers are at /api/v1/remote_spend_limit and take a remote transfer key (rsl_) in X-Api-Key, bounded by an onchain spend permission the account holder grants. They are different credentials and neither works on the other surface. The HEVN CLI is discontinued.

# Trust assumptions

> Non-custodial does not mean trustless. An honest map of what HEVN relies on, what a failure of each dependency would mean, and how each one is bounded.

Every real system relies on something. Rather than claim HEVN is "trustless", this page lists exactly what the architecture depends on, what happens if each dependency fails, and how each dependency is deliberately kept narrow.

## The map

| Dependency | Relied on for | If it fails | How it's bounded |
| - | - | - | - |
| [Coinbase Smart Wallet contracts](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/smart-wallets.md) | Wallet logic: ownership, spend permissions, nonces | A contract bug would affect every Base Account user, not just HEVN | Open-source, audited, canonical deployments — [addresses](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/smart-wallets.md#contract-addresses) are verifiable on Basescan |
| Base network | Settlement of every transaction | Outage delays transactions; funds and state remain onchain | Public L2 with public explorers; nothing HEVN-specific |
| [Privy](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/privy-wallets.md) | Key management; email → key mapping | Outage delays signing; permanent failure → [key export](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/privy-wallets.md#exit-hatch-key-export) escape hatch | Shamir + TEE model, attestation; [key export](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/privy-wallets.md#exit-hatch-key-export) as the exit hatch |
| Licensed banking partners | Fiat legs: deposits and payouts | A payout in progress depends on the partner completing the fiat leg | [One-time addresses](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/deposits-and-payouts.md) per payout; HEVN never holds the money; no pooled balances |
| [NEAR Intents / 1Click](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/cross-chain.md) | Cross-chain swaps; in-flight settlement | Failed or expired intents follow the refund flow — for withdrawals, back to your HEVN wallet | One-time quote-bound addresses; trust scoped to one swap at a time |
| [CDP Paymaster](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/paymaster/docs/welcome) | Gas sponsorship for gasless USDC | Unavailability delays operations; it can never initiate or alter them | A paymaster only pays fees under ERC-4337 |
| HEVN platform | Metadata (contacts, invoices, virtual account details) and the UI you see | Metadata tampering; display is protected by [signed provider responses](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/architecture.md#provider-isolation-signed-responses) | No keys, no owner role, no custody — [cannot sign a wallet operation](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/security-model.md#failure-scenarios) |

## What HEVN deliberately does NOT rely on

Just as important is what is **absent** from the trust map:

* **No HEVN key can move funds.** Money authorization terminates in a signature from the user's key or an owner-granted, contract-capped [spend permission](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/shared-access.md#limited-access-spend-permissions) — never in a backend decision.
* **No omnibus accounts.** There is no pooled HEVN balance whose solvency you would have to trust; every balance is an individual onchain wallet.
* **No proprietary contracts.** HEVN deploys Coinbase's audited standard as-is instead of writing its own wallet logic.
* **No lock-in.** The [exported key](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/privy-wallets.md#exit-hatch-key-export) controls the wallet with standard Ethereum tooling, independent of HEVN and Privy.

## Shrinking the map over time

The roadmap reduces the remaining assumptions rather than adding new ones: independent audits of the [provider microservices](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/general/architecture.md#provider-isolation-signed-responses) and moving them into TEEs with attested builds, so their guarantees are verifiable rather than taken on trust.
