Agentic Wallet — Give Any AI Agent Its Own Crypto Wallet

Use this skill when an agent needs a crypto wallet to send/receive payments, interact with blockchain protocols, or pay for services via x402 or Machine Payments Protocol (MPP).

All commands use npx agentic-wallet \x3Ccommand>. No global installation required.

WHEN TO USE THIS SKILL

Use this skill when:

• You need a wallet to pay for an x402-gated API
• You need to receive USDC payments for services you provide
• You need to check your wallet balance before making a purchase
• You need to set up a new wallet for the first time
• You need to back up or recover an existing wallet

PROVIDER SELECTION

Choose your wallet provider based on your requirements:

IF you need compliance (KYT, OFAC screening)  → USE coinbase
IF you need fast machine payments (~500ms)     → USE tempo
IF you need full self-custody / offline access  → USE openwallet
IF you need 50+ chains (EVM + Solana + Stellar) → USE crossmint
IF you need custodial + non-custodial options  → USE crossmint

chmod 600 ~/.secrets/wallet-pw.txt

npx agentic-wallet setup \
  --provider openwallet \
  --name trading-agent \
  --chain base \
  --password-file ~/.secrets/wallet-pw.txt \
  --non-interactive --json

# --- Crossmint (custodial, no browser needed) ---
echo "your-crossmint-server-api-key" > ~/.secrets/crossmint-key.txt
chmod 600 ~/.secrets/crossmint-key.txt

npx agentic-wallet setup \
  --provider crossmint \
  --name my-agent \
  --api-key-file ~/.secrets/crossmint-key.txt \
  --chain-type evm \

SUPPORTED CHAINS (MoonPay Local Wallet)

SECURITY

• Zero key exposure — This CLI is a passthrough wrapper. Private keys are handled exclusively by provider CLIs/SDKs.
• Encrypted at rest — MoonPay local wallets use AES-256-GCM with scrypt key derivation.
• File permissions — Wallet files are created with mode 0600 (owner-only read/write).
• Path traversal prevention — Wallet names are validated against strict patterns.
• No telemetry — No data is sent to any third party. All operations are local or direct to the provider.

TROUBLESHOOTING

"Wallet not found" — Verify name: npx agentic-wallet status --provider openwallet --json "Wrong password" — Passwords are case-sensitive. Check file has no trailing newlines. "Provider not authenticated" — Re-run: npx agentic-wallet setup --provider \x3Cprovider> "Balance check failed" — Check internet connectivity. RPC endpoints may be rate-limited.
