Lighter Agent Wallet Setup Guide

This guide explains how to create and configure an Agent Wallet for secure trading on Lighter.

Why Use Agent Wallet?

  • ✅ More Secure: Never expose your main wallet private key
  • ✅ Limited Access: Agent only has trading permissions
  • ✅ Revocable: Can be disabled anytime
  • ✅ Separate Funds: Keep main holdings safe

Prerequisites

  • A Web3 wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)
  • Access to Lighter

Step 1: Connect Your Main Wallet

  1. Visit Lighter
  2. Click Connect Wallet
  3. Choose MetaMask, WalletConnect, or other Web3 wallet
  4. Approve the connection

Step 2: Create Agent Wallet

  1. Navigate to Settings or API section
  2. Look for Agent Wallet or Trading Wallet option
  3. Click Create Agent or Generate New Wallet
  4. Approve the transaction if required

Step 3: Save Agent Credentials

After creation, save these immediately:

Field Description
Main Wallet Address Your connected wallet address
Agent Wallet Address Generated agent wallet address
Agent Private Key Private key for the agent wallet

⚠️ Important: The private key is only shown once! Save it securely.

Step 4: Configure in NOFX

Add your agent wallet through the NOFX web interface:

  1. Open NOFX dashboard (http://localhost:3000)
  2. Go to Exchange Configuration
  3. Enable Lighter
  4. Enter:
    • Wallet Address: Your main wallet address (with 0x)
    • Private Key: Agent private key (remove 0x prefix)
  5. Save configuration

Managing Your Agent

Revoke Agent Access

  1. Go to Lighter Settings
  2. Find your agent in the list
  3. Click Revoke or Delete

Fund Your Account

  1. Deposit supported assets to Lighter
  2. Agent wallet will trade using deposited funds

Security Best Practices

  • Use agent wallet instead of main wallet private key
  • Store agent private key securely
  • Revoke unused agents
  • Monitor agent activity regularly
  • Keep main wallet funds separate from trading funds

Troubleshooting
