Stop Asking Whether You Trust It 🔐
The question everyone opens with about financial agents is whether you would give an AI access to your money, and it is the wrong question. $BNKR is interesting precisely because it replaces that question with a better one.
Not do you trust it. What authority did you grant, how much, and can you take it back.
Those are answerable. Trust is not.
Here is the shape of it. The agent operates with its own keys rather than yours. You define what it is allowed to do and what it is not. Spending has limits you set rather than limits it discovers. Approval sits with you for anything past those limits. And revocation is a thing you can actually perform rather than a support ticket you file.
That is not a claim about the agent being safe. It is a claim about security being a design question rather than a character question, which is the only version of this that has ever worked anywhere. You do not trust an employee with unlimited company funds because you trust them. You give them a card with a limit.
$EIGEN made a similar argument in a different domain, that delegated authority needs explicit bounds and explicit penalties rather than good intentions.
Grant narrowly. Expand slowly. Keep the ability to stop it.
