Delegates

​

Use a delegate when

• A team already has an active subscription.
• The agent should not hold the owner’s USDC or subscription key.
• You want hard caps on how many rounds and what quorum the agent can request.
• Rounds should settle through settle_round_receipt against the subscription.

On-chain account

#[account]
pub struct Delegate {
    pub owner: Pubkey,              // subscription owner
    pub delegate: Pubkey,           // hot agent authority
    pub status: AgentStatus,        // Active | Paused
    pub max_data_requests: u64,
    pub data_requests_used: u64,
    pub max_signers: u8,            // quorum ceiling for this agent
    pub bump: u8,
    // epoch_cap / epoch_spent / epoch_id exist but are not enforced yet
}

["molpha_delegate", owner, delegate]

​

Flow

1. Owner opens or extends a subscription.
2. Owner calls add_delegate with the agent pubkey, max_data_requests, and max_signers.
3. Agent (as consumerAuthority) signs RequestAuth and calls POST /v1/round/execute.
4. Gateway serves the signed payload.
5. Gateway later settles with settle_round_receipt, which consumes one delegate request when the consumer is not the owner.
