# Programmable Signing At the heart of onchain automation is the ability to program signing authority itself. By embedding **policy logic** directly into the signing process and leveraging **onchain signature verification**, Functor ensures rules are enforced at the most foundational level, removing trust in centralized or off-chain systems. This core capability allows any action to be **securely delegated** to an agent, a smart contract, or a team member. Custom policies guarantee that these delegated actions cannot deviate from their intended scope, combining flexibility with verifiable security. ### **Secure Delegated Actions** A user can delegate the authority to claim and re-stake rewards to an automated agent. The policy ensures the agent can only perform that specific action with the user’s funds, providing both automation and security. ### **Multi-User Policy Enforcement** Teams and DAOs can implement complex operational controls with **programmable signing**. *For example, a policy could require 3-of-5 signatures for any transaction over $10,000, with one of the required signers being an automated risk-monitoring agent.* This creates decentralized workflows that are both flexible and secure. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://functor.gitbook.io/functor-network-docs/use-cases/programmable-signing.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
