As part of The Root Network’s latest mainnet update, we’re excited to announce the launch of the Sylo Action Permission Pallet – a key component in the suite of Sylo Protocols for the open metaverse.
This pallet introduces revocable, programmable on-chain permissions, starting with the ability to grant another wallet permission to perform specific extrinsics on your behalf.
It’s a powerful tool for developers, platforms, and partners looking to deliver smoother UX and scalable automation, without compromising user control or security.
Why Action Permissions Matter
In Ethereum and other EVM chains, token approvals have long allowed users to grant third-party contracts the ability to spend ERC20 tokens on their behalf. While useful, these approvals are narrow in scope and often pose security risks if not managed carefully.
The Sylo Action Permission Pallet moves beyond that model.
It enables programmable, revocable access to specific extrinsics – such as minting, transferring NFTs, staking, or creating collections – without needing to share private keys.
And it doesn’t stop at what actions can be taken – it also lets you choose who covers gas when those actions are executed.
All permissions are:
- Set by the account owner
- Recorded and enforced on-chain
- Fully revocable at any time
- With granular permissions coming soon
A Better UX Without the Risk
This unlocks a new layer of user-friendly, scalable experiences – especially for brands, platforms, and builders managing automated or high-volume on-chain operations.
Example:
A brand minting thousands of NFTs as part of a launch campaign could grant a trusted third-party platform permission to handle all on-chain minting transactions.
They could also agree that the platform – not the end-user – covers the gas fees, creating a completely seamless, frictionless experience.
No key sharing. No repetitive wallet confirmations. No unexpected gas prompts. Full control, always revocable.
This allows partners to move faster and scale, while a offering smoother UX to user, and maintaining full control over their assets and permissions.
Powering Agentic Workflows
Beyond traditional web3 platforms, these permissions also create a foundation for agent-based systems – where AI agents can act on behalf of users or brands.
With Sylo Permissions, an agent could be granted the ability to:
- Mint a character when certain conditions are met
- Rebalance liquidity positions on behalf of a partner
- Stake assets automatically as part of a scheduled action
- Or even initiate a series of multi-step interactions across contracts
Combined with the upcoming granular control layer, developers will be able to define what actions can be taken, against what assets, and under what circumstances – all without centralized intermediaries.
Built on The Root Network. Powered by $SYLO.
Setting permissions is handled on-chain via the Sylo Permissions Protocol, and every permission set requires a transaction powered by $SYLO, the native utility token of the Sylo Network.
As with other Sylo Protocols like Verification and Asset Register, this work builds the foundation for open, interoperable systems – where data and actions are portable, programmable, and secure.
What’s Next
This launch marks phase one of the Sylo Action Permissions Pallet. In future updates, developers will gain access to:
- Granular Permissions – restrict access to specific NFTs, tokens, or extrinsics
- Agent-first Tools – platforms, like Futureverse, will build SDKs to empower safe delegation to AI agents and systems
The goal: to help you build more intelligent, responsive, and automated experiences – across web3, gaming, and the open metaverse.
