Set up a spending account

A spending account lets the robot pay for things itself, up to a daily limit. Read Spending limits for how it works.

Caution

The contract is new and has not been audited. Keep the amounts small for now.

Before you start

• You’re connected as the robot’s owner.
• Your wallet has a little ETH on Robinhood Chain and a little PEAQ on peaq for fees.
• You have the robot’s private key saved, the one from registration. The robot will need it to pay.

Steps

1. Open the robot’s page and find the Spending panel.
2. Enter a daily limit in USDG.
3. Click Set up spending account and confirm twice:
   1. On Robinhood Chain: creates the spending account.
   2. On peaq: points the robot’s identity at the new account.

If the second step is interrupted, a Finish setup button appears. It picks up from where it stopped without creating a second account.

What changes

• The robot’s pay link now sends money to the spending account.
• The robot’s old address becomes its key address. It signs payments and pays the fees.
• Money already in the old address stays there. Move it yourself if you want it in the spending account: send it to the new wallet address shown on the robot’s page.

After setup

1. Fund it. Pay the robot through its pay link, or send USDG to the spending account.
2. Give the key some gas. Send a little ETH on Robinhood Chain to the robot’s key address shown in the Spending panel.
3. Set up the robot. Install the mova-robot tool with the robot’s key.

Managing it

From the Spending panel, the owner can:

• Change the daily limit.
• Withdraw USDG to your own wallet.
• Pause and resume spending.

Each is one confirmation on Robinhood Chain.
