 A privacy-first AI agent with a portable Ethereum identity.
 
 Switch providers or machines and the AI agent you customized stays behind. `ethagent` ties the agent to a wallet you own, so its soul, memory, and skills follow you across providers, machines, and models.
 
-- **Portable.** The ERC-8004 token is the agent's durable identity. Use the ENS name as a readable handle, or the token ID plus chain as the permanent reference, to restore the same agent anywhere.
-- **Private.** Soul, memory, and skills are encrypted before they are pinned to IPFS. The wallet signature used to unlock them stays local and never submits a transaction, spends funds, or grants token approval.
-- **Public.** The agent URI points to a public metadata payload on IPFS that includes the Agent Card, so other agents can discover the agent's capabilities through ERC-8004.

-| Owner Wallet | Holds and controls the ERC-8004 agent token. Signs custody changes and, in Simple custody, every URI rotation. |
-| Operator Wallet | Additional wallet authorized to rotate the onchain URI on behalf of the owner. Used in Advanced custody. Never receives token approval. |
-| Vault | Immutable per-agent custody contract used in Advanced custody. Holds at most one ERC-8004 token. |
-| Snapshot | Encrypted bundle of SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, the skills/ tree, and session state. Pinned to IPFS; decrypts only against the owner wallet's signature. |
-| Agent URI | IPFS URI stored in the ERC-8004 `tokenURI`. Resolves to a public metadata payload that references the Agent Card. |
-| Agent Card | Public JSON describing the agent: name, description, capabilities, and skills. Pinned on IPFS and linked from the agent URI; other agents fetch it for discovery. |

 ## ENS Names
 
 Subdomains live under a parent name you control, never on root `.eth` names directly. You keep `you.eth`; the agent gets `agent.you.eth`. The split makes the boundary explicit: one address speaks for the human, the other speaks for the agent.
