Create an Action Provider

Step-by-step guide to registering a blockchain wallet as an Action Provider in Hacken Extractor — the signer that executes smart contract actions.

Steps

1. Open Action Providers

   In the left sidebar, click Action Providers. Then click Add Provider in the top-right corner.

2. Select a network

   In the Network dropdown, choose the blockchain network where your smart contract is deployed.

   Available networks:

   • Ethereum
   • BSC
   • Arbitrum One
   • Optimism
   • Gnosis
   • Polygon Mainnet
   • Polygon Amoy
   • Fantom Opera
   • Avalanche (C-Net)
3. Enter a provider name

   In the Provider name field, enter a descriptive label (e.g., Mainnet Pauser). This name is only used within Extractor for identification.

4. Configure options (optional)

   Expand the Options section to set advanced parameters:

   Field	Description
   Tags	Free-form labels for organizing providers (e.g., production, staging).
   Type	Default — uses a private key you provide. HSM — uses a Hardware Security Module for key storage.
   Private Key	(Optional) Your wallet’s private key. If left empty, Extractor will automatically generate a new wallet for you. This value is encrypted and stored securely.

   Never use a wallet that holds user funds or has Owner-level permissions as an Action Provider. Create a dedicated wallet with only the minimum permissions needed.

5. Save

   Click Save. The provider will appear in the sidebar under Action Providers and on the main list.

What’s next

After creating a provider you need to:

1. Grant it access to your contract — so it can call contract functions.
2. Deposit gas funds — so it can pay for transactions.
