+# Asset-Signer Wallets
+
+Every MPL Core asset has a deterministic **signer PDA** that can hold SOL, tokens, and even own other assets. Asset-signer wallets let you use this PDA as your active wallet — all CLI commands automatically operate through the PDA.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create an asset (or use an existing one you own)
+mplx core asset create --name "My Vault" --uri "https://example.com/vault"
+
+# 2. Register it as a wallet (auto-detects the owner from on-chain data)
+mplx config wallets add vault --asset <assetId>
+
+# 3. Check the PDA info
+mplx core asset execute info <assetId>
+
+# 4. Fund the PDA
+mplx toolbox sol transfer 0.1 <signerPdaAddress>
+
+# 5. Switch to the asset-signer wallet
+mplx config wallets set vault
+
+# 6. Use any command as the PDA
+mplx toolbox sol balance
+mplx toolbox sol transfer 0.01 <destination>
+mplx core asset create --name "PDA Created NFT" --uri "https://example.com/nft"
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+When an asset-signer wallet is active:
+
+1. **`umi.identity`** is set to a noop signer with the PDA's public key — commands build instructions with the PDA as authority naturally
+2. **`umi.payer`** is also set to the PDA noop signer — so derived addresses (ATAs, token accounts) resolve correctly
+3. **At send time**, the transaction is wrapped in MPL Core's `execute` instruction, which signs on behalf of the PDA on-chain
+4. **The real wallet** (asset owner) signs the outer transaction and pays fees via `setFeePayer`
+
+## Wallet Management
+
+### Adding an Asset-Signer Wallet
+
+```bash
+mplx config wallets add <name> --asset <assetId>
+```
+
+The CLI fetches the asset on-chain, determines the owner, and matches it against your saved wallets. If the owner isn't in your wallet list, you'll be prompted to add it first.
+
+### Listing Wallets
+
+```bash
+mplx config wallets list
+```
+
+Asset-signer wallets show as `asset-signer` type with the PDA address and linked asset.
+
+### Switching Wallets
+
+```bash
+# Switch to asset-signer
+mplx config wallets set vault
+
+# Switch back to normal
+mplx config wallets set my-wallet
+```
+
+### Overriding with -k
+
+Pass `-k` to bypass the asset-signer wallet for a single command:
+
+```bash
+# Uses the specified keypair directly, ignores asset-signer
+mplx toolbox sol balance -k /path/to/wallet.json
+```
+
+## Separate Fee Payer
+
+The on-chain `execute` instruction supports separate authority and fee payer accounts. Use `-p` to have a different wallet pay transaction fees while the asset owner signs the execute:
+
+```bash
+mplx toolbox sol transfer 0.01 <destination> -p /path/to/fee-payer.json
+```
+
+The asset owner still signs the `execute` instruction. The `-p` wallet only pays the transaction fee.
+
+## Supported Commands
+
+All CLI commands work with asset-signer wallets. The transaction wrapping happens transparently in the send layer.
+
+### Fully Transparent (no special handling needed)
+
+- **Core**: `asset create`, `asset transfer`, `asset burn`, `asset update`, `collection create`
+- **Toolbox SOL**: `balance`, `transfer`, `wrap`, `unwrap`
+- **Toolbox Token**: `transfer`, `create`, `mint`
+- **Toolbox Raw**: `raw --instruction <base64>`
+- **Token Metadata**: `transfer`, `create`, `update`
+- **Bubblegum**: `nft create` (into existing trees — tree creation itself is a [CPI limitation](#cpi-limitations)), `nft transfer`, `nft burn`, `collection create`
+- **Genesis**: `create`, `bucket add-*`, `deposit`, `withdraw`, `claim`, `finalize`, `revoke`
+- **Distribution**: `create`, `deposit`, `withdraw`
+- **Candy Machine**: `insert`, `withdraw`
+
+### PDA Inspection
+
+```bash
+# Show the PDA address and SOL balance for any asset
+mplx core asset execute info <assetId>
+```
+
+### Raw Instructions
+
+```bash
+# Execute arbitrary base64-encoded instructions as the current wallet
+# When asset-signer is active, automatically wrapped in execute()
+mplx toolbox raw --instruction <base64>
+mplx toolbox raw --instruction <ix1> --instruction <ix2>
+echo "<base64>" | mplx toolbox raw --stdin
+```
+
+## CPI Limitations
+
+Some operations cannot be wrapped in `execute()` due to Solana CPI constraints:
+
+- **Large account creation** — Merkle trees, candy machines (exceed CPI account allocation limits)
+- **SOL wrapping** — creating wrapped SOL (wSOL) token accounts fails in CPI context
+
+For these operations, use a normal wallet or create the infrastructure first, then switch to the asset-signer wallet for subsequent operations.
+
+## Building Raw Instructions
+
+The CLI includes serialization helpers for building base64-encoded instructions:
+
+```typescript
+import { publicKey } from '@metaplex-foundation/umi'
+import { serializeInstruction } from '@metaplex-foundation/cli/lib/execute/deserializeInstruction'
+
+const signerPda = '<PDA address from execute info>'
+const destination = '<destination address>'
+
+// System Program SOL transfer
+const data = new Uint8Array(12)
+const view = new DataView(data.buffer)
+view.setUint32(0, 2, true)             // Transfer discriminator
+view.setBigUint64(4, 1_000_000n, true) // 0.001 SOL
+
+const ix = {
+  programId: publicKey('11111111111111111111111111111111'),
+  keys: [
+    { pubkey: publicKey(signerPda), isSigner: true, isWritable: true },
+    { pubkey: publicKey(destination), isSigner: false, isWritable: true },
+  ],
+  data,
+}
+
+console.log(serializeInstruction(ix))
+// Pass the output to: mplx toolbox raw --instruction <base64>
+```
+
+### Instruction Binary Format
+
+| Bytes | Field |
+|-------|-------|
+| 32 | Program ID |
+| 2 | Number of accounts (u16 little-endian) |
+| 33 per account | 32 bytes pubkey + 1 byte flags (bit 0 = isSigner, bit 1 = isWritable) |
+| remaining | Instruction data |

+# Test Wallet Modes
+
+The test suite runs in two wallet modes to verify all commands work with both normal keypairs and asset-signer wallets.
+
+```bash
+npm test                    # Both modes sequentially
+npm run test:normal         # Normal wallet mode only
+npm run test:asset-signer   # Asset-signer wallet mode only
+```
+
+In asset-signer mode, a root hook (`test/setup.asset-signer.ts`) creates a signing asset, funds its PDA, and writes a temporary config. `runCli` then uses `-c <config>` instead of `-k <keypair>`, so all transactions are wrapped in MPL Core `execute()`.
+
+Infrastructure that can't be created via execute CPI (large account allocations) uses `runCliDirect`, which always uses the normal keypair.
+
+## Test Coverage by Wallet Mode

+
+## Why Some Tests Skip in Asset-Signer Mode
+
+### CPI Limitations
+
+These operations allocate large accounts, which fails when wrapped in `execute()`:
+
+- Merkle tree creation
+- Candy machine creation
+
+The `createBubblegumTree` helper and CM creation in test setup use `runCliDirect` to bypass this.
+
+### Authority Mismatch
+
+Resources created with `runCliDirect` (normal wallet) have the wallet as authority. In asset-signer mode, commands run as the PDA, which isn't the authority. This affects:
+
+- bg nft minting (tree authority is wallet, not PDA)
+- CM insert/withdraw (CM authority is wallet)
+- Genesis deposits/finalize (genesis authority is wallet)
+- Distro deposits/withdrawals (distro authority is wallet)
+
+### What IS Tested in Asset-Signer Mode
+
+The asset-signer-specific test creates a **public tree** (anyone can mint) and verifies the PDA can mint a cNFT into it. This confirms bubblegum minting works through execute CPI when authority isn't an issue.
