Chain abstraction
One Botanary account works across the networks Botanary supports, with a single balance view - without pooling your funds or promising automatic cross-chain execution.
Botanary doesn't ask you to stand up a separate wallet for every network. The same account you create is usable across the chains Botanary supports, and what you hold on each of them is rolled into one balance view - without your funds ever being pooled anywhere.
Testnet now, mainnet as it unlocks
Every testnet Botanary supports is available today, with nothing to unlock. Mainnets are different:
Botanary's code recognizes a fixed list of them, but each one only becomes usable once Botanary
deliberately turns it on - GET /chains is always the source of truth for what's actually operable
right now. See Chains & networks for the full list of testnets available today and
mainnets recognized for the future.
Not every chain offers the same capabilities
"Works across networks" doesn't mean every network behaves identically. Each chain your account can use is one of three capability tiers - Botanary tier (rules, delegating, and freezing all work), Basic tier (sending, swapping, and account management work, but delegation doesn't), or Watch tier (read-only) - and that tiering is computed the same way everywhere, so what a chain reports and what gets enforced when you actually try to act on it never disagree. An authority-level action attempted on a chain that doesn't support it is refused outright, never silently downgraded. See Chains & networks for the tier list, and Account abstraction for why capability is scoped to what a chain has deployed in the first place.
One balance, not one pool
Your Botanary balance is shown as a single unified number, but that's a presentation choice - every asset still sits in your own account, never pooled into a shared or intermediary balance anywhere. That unified figure is a sum built from your individual token balances, refreshed automatically so incoming transfers show up without you doing anything. See Balances for what's actually in that number and where each part of it comes from.
Moving value between chains
TODO: whether cross-chain value movement is a settled, permanent guarantee of Swap - versus today's observed behavior - is not yet signed off by engineering. See Swap for the detail and its own open TODO before treating cross-chain execution as certain.
Chain abstraction here describes your account and your balance view, not an automatic cross-chain execution feature. Where Swap can quote and build a route to a different destination chain than the one you started on, that's Swap's own scoped behavior - tracked separately by its bridge leg, and still subject to Swap's own caveats - not something chain abstraction promises on its own. See Swap before assuming a specific cross-chain path works for your case.

Transaction abstraction
Every action on a Botanary account is a UserOperation, not a raw transaction - previewable before you sign, batchable, and payable in a stablecoin.
Delegations
A delegation is a scoped, revocable Smart Sessions grant that binds a delegate to a specific budget, recipients, and actions.
