Your Protocol Manager is the wallet responsible for signing releases that deploy, update, or remove circuit breakers. Do not hold funds in this wallet.

​
Release Signing

The State Oracle associates a Protocol Manager with registered contracts. This address can perform the assertion lifecycle actions permitted by that deployment. Anyone can author assertion code; only authorized accounts can activate it for the registered contracts. We recommend a multisig wallet with a diversified signer set. Some customers prefer to gate deployments with hardware. Phylax can help you set this up. For wallet selection and setup, follow Assign a protocol manager. Registration establishes assertion-management authority for the agreed contracts. It does not install guards, configure RPC routing, or prove that all intended operations are protected.

​
Separate Authorities

Platform project membership, Protocol Manager authority, and guard administration are distinct permissions. A wallet used by a backend to submit transactions need not control assertion policy. A manager can make changes that affect availability and protection, subject to the configured lifecycle. Secure this role with an appropriate signing policy and review how it can be recovered or transferred. Check the deployed authorization and timing rules rather than assuming a fixed delay. See Trust Model for compromise and recovery considerations, and Integration Planning for rollout requirements.
