# Attenuation, On-Chain
Attenuation is the core guarantee: every delegation hop carries an `Erc20TransferAmount` caveat, and the **DelegationManager enforces the cap on-chain** regardless of how any agent behaves.
When a run executes, the server builds the chain hop by hop, each signed by that agent's key:
* **Orchestrator → Dex Aggregator** — narrowed to `total + relayer fee`
* **Dex Aggregator → Deployer** — narrowed to that leg's amount (+ fee on the first leg)
* **Deployer → 1Shot target** — narrowed again to the same leg amount
The relayer redeems the **entire chain** in one on-chain operation. The DelegationManager walks the chain and verifies each caveat, so a compromised middle agent cannot hand out more authority than it received.
> The cap isn't a policy the agent chooses to honor — it's a constraint the contract refuses to break.
