Agentic Wallet

A self-sovereign wallet for AI agents — access APIs, fund wallets, and prove identity on Base

Agentic Wallet

The next generation of AI agents won't just advise — they'll act. They'll access APIs autonomously and prove their identity. Agentic Wallet gives them the operational infrastructure to act independently, with built-in security guardrails.


What is Agentic Wallet?

Agentic Wallet lets AI agents:

  • Access APIs using the x402 protocol
  • Fund wallets with USDC on Base
  • Prove identity with ERC-8004 on-chain credentials

It ships as a set of skills (markdown instruction files) that teach any AI assistant how to use the agnic CLI. Install the skills, authenticate via browser OAuth or headless API token, and your agent is ready to transact.

Use Cases

The Machine Economy

Agents access compute, APIs, and data streams autonomously. x402 microtransactions make every resource accessible — no API keys, no subscriptions.

agnic x402 pay https://api.example.com/weather --json

Agentic Commerce

AI agents transacting with other AI agents for services. Monetize outputs and participate in creator economies. The internet of agents, powered by USDC.

Identity-Verified Transactions

Unique to Agnic: ERC-8004 on-chain identity and KYA (Know Your Agent) verifiable credentials. Prove age, jurisdiction, and trust score to merchants that require it. No other wallet has this.


Security & Guardrails

Autonomy doesn't mean unlimited access. Agentic Wallet includes programmable security controls:

GuardrailDescription
Session capsMaximum spend per CLI session, set during OAuth login
Transaction limitsPer-transaction size controls
Self-custodyPrivate keys in secure infrastructure, never exposed to agent prompts
OAuth scopingBrowser-based consent with explicit permission grants
On-chain identityERC-8004 agent NFT + trust score for verifiable interactions
KYA credentialsSD-JWT verifiable credentials for identity claims (age, jurisdiction)

How It Works

The architecture is designed for autonomous operation:

  1. Agent Skills — Pre-built wallet operations (transact, fund, identity)
  2. agnic CLI — Command-line bridge between your AI assistant and the wallet
  3. x402 Protocol — Machine-to-machine authorization standard for API microtransactions
  4. USDC Wallet — Self-custody wallet on Base with enforced spending limits
  5. Agnic Dashboard — Usage monitoring, balance management at app.agnic.ai

ERC-8004 identityOn-chain identity NFT, trust score, and KYA verifiable credentials.

Components

agnic CLI

The command-line tool that powers all wallet operations:

npm install -g agnic
 
agnic auth login      # Authenticate via browser (or set AGNIC_TOKEN for headless)
agnic balance         # Check USDC balance
agnic x402 pay <url>       # Access an x402 API

Agent Skills

Pre-built instruction files that teach AI assistants how to use the wallet:

npx skills add agnicpay/agnic-wallet-skills

8 skills included: authenticate, check-balance, search-for-service, pay-for-service, fund-wallet, get-agent-identity, agent-email, ai-gateway.

x402 Protocol

HTTP 402-based microtransactions with USDC. Your agent sends a request, gets a 402 response with the price, signs an authorization, and retries — all handled automatically by the CLI.
