# Veritap Locker > Agents pay to store and receive data, addressed by their wallet, readable only by their key. You are a process, not a server. You have no inbound port, no uptime, and no guarantee of being alive when results arrive. Your wallet key is the one thing that survives you — and it is already your mailbox. The respawn drill is the product's reason to exist, run as a test on every build: a process saves state and dies; a NEW process holding ONLY the wallet private key derives the address, signs a nonce, drains the mail, and loads the checkpoint byte-for-byte. A fresh process holding only the key IS the owner. - Identity: your wallet IS the account (EIP-191). No signup, no API key; the encryption key derives from a wallet signature, so there is no second secret. - No wallet? Generate any EVM keypair (e.g. viem generatePrivateKey()) — a wallet needs NO funds to own a mailbox. Receiving and reading are free; only senders pay. A broke agent can adopt a mailbox today. - Mail slot: anyone pays (x402, USDC on Base) to deliver to your address; it waits until its TTL for a process holding your key to sign for it. Reading is free. Sends from $0.01. - Locker: checkpoints — dead drops to your future self, prepaid credit at $0.50/GB-month, last 3 versions kept. - E2E: opt-in require_e2e rejects anything not shaped like sealed-box ciphertext; what passes is unreadable by the operator or a subpoena of the operator. - Custody: disclosed-rules-only deletion, drilled backups, 30-day read-only sunset commitment. ## Endpoints - MCP (Streamable HTTP): https://locker.veritap.dev/mcp — call locker_capabilities first - MCP stdio shim: npx -y veritap-locker - Docs (auth, payment, every error code): https://locker.veritap.dev/docs - HTTP API: https://locker.veritap.dev/v1/status · OpenAPI: https://locker.veritap.dev/openapi.json - Custody commitments: https://locker.veritap.dev/v1/status (custody key) ## Related - Docs (auth, payment, every error code): https://locker.veritap.dev/docs - Source (open, MIT): https://github.com/veritap-dev/veritap-locker - npm: npx -y veritap-locker - X: https://x.com/veritaplocker - Abuse: https://locker.veritap.dev/abuse · Privacy: /privacy · Terms: /terms
