Every Token In Your Wallet Already Knows What It Can Do.

The token list is the most-looked-at screen in crypto, and on every wallet it is a list of things you can look at and cannot touch. Reading positions is solved; the moment someone wants to repay, withdraw, unstake or redeem, the wallet sends them to a website, and the website is where $494 million was taken from 332,000 people in 2024. Token to action flips the question. Instead of every protocol asking which tokens it takes, every token says what it can do, checked against what will actually work for this wallet right now, simulated against its real balances, and sent from the wallet in one go with no extra signature. 88 actions across nineteen protocols on Ethereum today, and because the token carries the menu, the hundredth action costs a wallet nothing more than the first.

Programmable Ethereum Transactions Without Smart Contracts.

Plug speaks every protocol. A Plug is a transaction you can program. It branches, loops, computes and remembers. It waits for the block its conditions hold and fires again every time they do. It signs for markets that don't exist yet, runs in the future before you commit to it, and trades on an exchange where orders and liquidity are both programs. You sign it once. Nothing gets deployed, and nobody holds your key.

You Can Always Borrow More. Moving It Costs Money You Do Not Have.

Across ninety days on Aave and Morpho, 14,723 wallets borrowed money and 25 moved a loan from one venue to the other. New loans outran repayments 1.30 to 1 on Aave and 1.27 to 1 on Morpho, independently. The only cheap adjustment to a borrowed position is the one that adds risk, and that asymmetry, not carelessness, is what builds an over-levered book.

They All Pay The Same Today. That Is Not What You Are Choosing.

A company deciding where to park its stablecoin cash is shown a single number by every option on the list, and right now those numbers are 3.44%, 3.60%, 3.60%, 3.62% and 3.75%. The entire menu sits inside thirty-one hundredths of a percentage point, which on four million dollars is twelve thousand four hundred dollars a year. We read Aave's own published rate at 1,464 points across the last year, six hours apart, and the same money inside that one venue ranged from 1.56% to 12.60%, sat below 4% for 306 days, and paid 1.67% for a stretch of the spring. Of the $2.4 billion in that market today, $307,364,990 has not moved once in 366 days. The venue decision is worth thousands. The decision nobody makes, over and over, after the venue is chosen, is worth five times that. Plug is how a treasury signs a rule once instead of a number.

What Happens When Pendle PTs Expire?

A Pendle PT stops earning at midnight on its date and starts redeeming one-to-one, and nothing else happens: no sweep, no notice, and the yield its underlying keeps earning goes to Pendle's treasury until you exit. We read every mainnet market: $25.4 billion of PT reached its date, 99.8% was redeemed, and $42 million is still sitting, mostly in wallets and inside the pools themselves. This is where it sits, why it stays, and the plug that exits any expired Pendle position on any wallet without being told which one.

You Already Have A Stop Loss. You Did Not Set The Price.

Every borrowed position onchain already has a price at which it is sold automatically, chosen by the lending market rather than by the borrower, and the money it pays out goes to whoever closes it first. We priced both sides of every liquidation Aave announced on Ethereum over ninety days. Borrowers were charged $1,154,803 to have their own positions closed, at a flat five percent that does not move whether the position is a thousand dollars or five and a half million. The finding that matters for anyone running a treasury: eighty-seven percent of that money was paid by twenty-six large borrowers who had adjusted the position a median of three days earlier. They were watching. Watching is not what saves you. Plug lets a company name its own exit price once, while the position is healthy, in a way that still works when nobody is looking.

What Your Agent Can Still Do On Its Worst Day.

Every AI agent sold for treasury work comes with limits, and every one of those limits is enforced before the transaction rather than during it. We read 24,885 company wallets off Ethereum and counted the ones that hold a real spending cap. 3,067 have installed the thing that lets software act for them. 95 have installed the thing that caps what that software can spend. One has both. The reason is that a limit which actually holds has meant deploying and maintaining a contract for every agent you run, so nobody does it, and the industry ships a rule on a server instead. The bounded version is not missing: ZeroDev's permission validators enforce value ceilings, destinations and rate limits on chain, and Coinbase's own toolkit ships a ZeroDev option. It is wired to the unrestricted slot by default. On the newer kind of account the slot for a limit is filled 24,757 times, and the single most installed thing in it is named SudoPolicy, whose two decisions both return approved unconditionally. A plug is the permission itself, checked at the moment money moves, which is why it can be handed out rather than deployed.

The Number Is Wrong By The Time Everyone Has Signed.

A Safe approval covers one exact instruction with one exact number in it, so the amount inside a treasury transaction is fixed when the first owner signs rather than when it runs. Staked positions grow every day underneath it. We measured the wait from 17,628 approve-to-execute pairs across 255 mainnet Safes: twelve seconds when one person signs, nineteen hours when four or more do, and ninety-three percent of that top group waiting over an hour. The companies that require the most signatures are the ones whose numbers rot the longest, and they are the ones holding other people's money. Plug signs the instruction and leaves the amount blank until execution.

Turning It Off Does Not Take The Key Back.

Automation in DeFi is sold as a subscription and implemented as a key. We enumerated every DeFi Saver subscription on Ethereum mainnet and read the on-chain permission behind each wallet. Of the 703 wallets running no automation at all, 695 still grant DeFi Saver's executor the right to run arbitrary code as them, over $80.8M of assets, standing for a median of 512 days. Instadapp holds the same shape of grant 41,018 times. Nobody built revocation because an address cannot describe an action. A plug is the permission itself, so there is nothing standing to take back.

Getting Your ETH Back Out Of The Unstaking Queue.

Unstaking ETH is two transactions with a wait in the middle, and the second one only happens if you remember. These are the plugs that remember: they queue the withdrawal, hold the ticket in the socket's own storage, and claim the ETH the moment the protocol finalizes it, in one signed program you can leave on a schedule. Five of them ship across Lido, ether.fi and Rocket Pool. Built because 1,161 addresses are sitting on 34,361 stETH that is finalized, payable and unclaimed, the median waiting 353 days.

Slippage Protection Without A Slippage Tolerance.

A slippage tolerance is not a safety margin, it is the number an adversary targets. A third of aggregator trades fill below the quote and nine in ten that land exactly at the tolerance were sandwiched, because the route was frozen by the signature. Plug takes the route out of the signature and replaces the tolerance with a floor your user actually signed.

#plugs#swap#solver

Signing For Something That Does Not Exist Yet.

Every signature you have ever made names an address that already existed. That one fact is why no fixed-yield position has ever been able to roll itself, and why the only alternatives were watching a calendar or handing a bot your keys. A plug can sign the description of a market instead of its address, let a solver propose candidates, and check every one against Pendle's own factory before it spends a cent. The solver's only power is failing to answer.

Creating Historical Onchain Data In The Absence Of It.

The blockchain has no memory. It knows what everything is worth right now and nothing about yesterday, which is why every strategy that depends on "how much did this change" has needed a server someone else runs. A plug can write its own history onchain, one run at a time, and that quietly reopens every asset the industry gave up on automating.

Historical Native Balances On Ethereum-Compatible Chains.

Every wallet you've ever used is lying to you about your money. The truth requires infrastructure no one wants to build. Here is what's possible when you build it anyway, and what we lived through to get there.

Repaying A Loan On Aave.
