Aomi applies one execution model to every EVM network. Each transaction declares a chain ID. The runtime uses that ID to select the matching provider, simulate the transaction against current chain state, apply the App’s guards, request the permitted signature, and broadcast to the intended network. providers.toml supplies the network routes for this process. It separates the private fork used for simulation from the RPC endpoint used for direct network access. The file determines where Aomi reads and sends chain data. It does not grant signing authority, expand an App’s allowlists, or bypass simulation.

Configure EVM providers

Use [anvil-instances.<name>] for a managed fork. Use [external.<name>] for a direct RPC connection. You can declare both for the same chain ID. Aomi prefers the managed instance for simulation and the external endpoint for broadcast. The following example uses the backend’s provider schema:
providers.toml
The configuration has four relevant parts:
  • [api-keys] resolves placeholders without putting credentials in RPC URLs. A value such as "{ALCHEMY_API_KEY}" reads the matching environment variable when Aomi starts.
  • [runtime] sets the default refresh cadence for managed forks. Set an interval to 0 to disable that refresh behavior.
  • [anvil-instances] creates isolated EVM forks. Each entry requires a unique name and a chain ID. fork_url supplies the upstream state.
  • [external] registers direct RPC endpoints. These entries do not start a local fork.
Aomi resolves placeholders and validates the complete file at startup. Missing environment variables, duplicate names, and duplicate chain IDs within the same table stop the configuration from loading. A managed entry and an external entry may share a chain ID because they serve different parts of the flow. Pass a specific file with --providers <path> or set PROVIDERS_TOML. Without either option, Aomi searches for providers.toml from the current directory upward.

Add another EVM chain

You can add an EVM-compatible network without creating a new execution path:
  1. Find the network’s canonical chain ID and a reliable RPC endpoint.
  2. Add an [anvil-instances.<name>] entry with that chain_id and fork_url. This gives Aomi a private fork for simulation.
  3. Add an [external.<name>] entry with the same chain_id and a stable rpc_url. Use a different entry name.
  4. Restart the process that loads providers.toml. Configuration is read and validated at startup.
  5. If the chain must appear in a browser wallet selector, add its display and wallet metadata to that client as well. Provider configuration adds runtime routing, not client presentation metadata.
Adding a provider does not authorize an App to use the chain. The App’s guard table and the wallet’s signing policy still apply to every transaction.

Built-in client networks

The standard Aomi client includes wallet-selector metadata for the following networks. Use the listed chain ID as chain_context.chain_id from MCP or as the transaction’s network identifier. Your active providers.toml still determines which networks a self-hosted runtime can reach. Mainnets Testnets and local networks Arc Testnet displays USDC as its native fee currency. Anvil is available for local development but does not appear as a public hosted-network choice. A batch can contain transactions for more than one configured chain. Each transaction keeps its own chain ID, so Aomi routes every simulation and broadcast independently.

Simulation on managed forks

Before you sign, Aomi runs the batch against a private copy of the current state for every affected network. The simulation does not enter a public mempool and cannot modify the source chain. Transactions execute in order. State produced by one transaction becomes available to the next transaction in the batch. For example, an approve followed by a swap succeeds only when the swap can use the allowance created by the preceding approval. Each step reports whether it succeeded, its gas use, and a decoded reason when it reverts. A revert stops the flow before your wallet receives a signature request.

Account abstraction

Account abstraction lets one signature authorize a batch of calls. It can also allow a sponsor to pay gas. See Account abstraction for the owner, executor, signing, and confirmation lifecycle. Aomi supports two EVM account-abstraction standards:
  • EIP-7702. An existing EOA delegates execution to smart-account code while retaining the same address.
  • EIP-4337. A smart account executes a user operation through a bundler and remains owned by the EOA.
Both lanes preserve the same policy boundary. The runtime prepares the batch, the authorized wallet signs one hash, and the account executes the calls as one operation.

Typed data

Orders, permits, and off-chain approvals often use EIP-712 typed data. Aomi treats each typed-data request as a wallet action. The request includes the complete structured payload and follows the same pending approval flow as a transaction. Calling it a signature does not create a less restrictive path.

Guards

An App can restrict EVM writes with per-chain guard rules. A guarded transaction must satisfy every applicable check:
  • Chain scope. The chain ID must belong to the App’s allowed set.
  • Contract allowlist. The target address must be approved.
  • Selector allowlist. The calldata selector must identify an approved function.
  • Approval scope. An ERC-20 approve call may grant allowance only to an approved spender.
Guards fail closed when Aomi cannot decode the required fields. They constrain where an App may send calls. They do not determine whether an allowed trade is economically favorable. Simulation and your review cover that decision.

Fees

Aomi can quote a service fee from the simulated gas total. The fee is appended as a separate transfer after the requested calls. Its transaction hash remains separate from the hashes produced by your action. Fee attachment currently applies to single-chain batches. A multi-chain batch does not receive an invented cross-chain fee. If Aomi cannot produce a fee quote, it does not inject a fee.
