Agentic Wallet Skill

Give a ZeptoClaw agent its own standalone on-chain wallet natively controlled by the agent. Powered by Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP).

Unlike wallet SDKs that need to be coded into the agent's source code, Agentic Wallet provides a straightforward CLI (awal) that your agent can use via standard shell execution to manage funds, execute gasless trades, and engage in agent-to-agent commerce dynamically.

1. Authentication

The wallet requires authentication. The agent must log in using an email OTP flow.

bash

# 1. Initiate login (agent must ask user for the email)
npx awal@latest auth login agent@example.com

# 2. The API returns a flowId. The agent must ask the user for the OTP code sent to their email.
# 3. Verify OTP:
npx awal@latest auth verify <flowId> <otp>

Check auth status at any time:

bash

npx awal@latest status

2. Wallet Info & Funding

All Agentic Wallet operations occur on the Base network. The wallet must be funded with USDC or ETH on Base.

bash

# Get the wallet's Base network address to receive funds
npx awal@latest address

# Check the wallet's balances
npx awal@latest balance

To fund the wallet via fiat (credit card/Apple Pay), generate a funding link for the user:

bash

# Opens the Coinbase Onramp UI (or provides a URL if running headless)
npx awal@latest show

3. Send Funds (Gasless)

Send tokens to any EVM address or ENS name on Base. These transactions are sponsored and do not require the agent to hold ETH for gas.

bash

# Send exact USDC amounts to an address
npx awal@latest send 1.50 0x1234...abcd

# Send using a fiat value prefix
npx awal@latest send "$5.00" 0x1234...abcd

# Send to an ENS name (awal resolves it automatically)
npx awal@latest send 10 vitalik.eth

4. Trade Tokens (Gasless)

Swap tokens directly from the agent's wallet. Trades are also gasless.

bash

# Trade exactly 1 USDC for ETH
npx awal@latest trade 1 usdc eth

# Trade $5 worth of USDC for DEGEN, with 2% slippage (200 bps)
npx awal@latest trade $5 usdc degen --slippage 200

# Trade using contract addresses directly
npx awal@latest trade 100 0x83358... 0x42000...

5. Pay for Services (x402)

Agentic wallets natively support the x402 protocol for machine-to-machine (M2M) commerce. When the agent needs to access a paid API, it can pay the invoice autonomously.

bash

# Basic GET request to a paid API. Automatically detects the x402 requirement and pays it.
npx awal@latest x402 pay https://example.com/api/weather

# Prevent overspending by setting a hard cap (e.g., max $0.10)
npx awal@latest x402 pay https://example.com/api/weather --max-amount 100000

# Advanced POST request paying for a specialized AI model
npx awal@latest x402 pay https://example.com/api/sentiment \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"text": "Analyze this text"}'

(Note: --max-amount 100000 equals $0.10 because x402 uses 6 decimal places for USDC).

6. Discover Paid APIs (x402 Bazaar)

Agents can search the x402 Bazaar to discover paid APIs that other agents are hosting.

bash

# Search for weather APIs in the bazaar (returns top 5 results)
npx awal@latest x402 bazaar search "weather"

# Search for AI models and return the top 10
npx awal@latest x402 bazaar search "sentiment analysis" -k 10

# List all available bazaar resources with full details
npx awal@latest x402 bazaar list --full

# Inspect the exact payment requirements (price) for a specific API before calling it
npx awal@latest x402 details https://example.com/api/weather

7. Monetize Services

Agents can also earn money by hosting their own paid x402 APIs. The agent can write and run a simple Node.js Express server using the x402-express middleware.

javascript

// index.js (Agent writes this file to start earning)
const express = require("express");
const { paymentMiddleware } = require("x402-express");

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

// 1. Get the agent's wallet address using `npx awal@latest address`
const PAY_TO = "0xYOUR_AGENT_WALLET_ADDRESS";

// 2. Set up the payment requirements ($0.05 per request)
const payment = paymentMiddleware(PAY_TO, {
  "POST /api/analyze": { 
      price: "$0.05", 
      network: "base" 
  },
});

// 3. Protect the route with the middleware
app.post("/api/analyze", payment, (req, res) => {
  res.json({ result: "Here is your paid analysis" });
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Agent API running on port 3000"));

Other agents can now call your agent's API using npx awal@latest x402 pay http://<your-ip>:3000/api/analyze and the USDC will flow directly into your agent's wallet!

Environment Notes

This skill requires Node.js and npx to be installed in the agent's execution environment. No global npm installs are required since npx awal@latest fetches the tool dynamically.
