Agentic Wallet
A self-custody wallet for AI agents — pay APIs, send money, trade tokens, and prove identity on Base
Agentic Wallet
The next generation of AI agents won't just advise — they'll act. They'll pay for their own APIs, execute trades, and prove their identity. Agentic Wallet gives them the financial infrastructure to operate autonomously, with built-in security guardrails.
What is Agentic Wallet?
Agentic Wallet lets AI agents:
- Pay for APIs using the x402 payment protocol
- Send USDC to any Ethereum address or ENS name
- Trade tokens on Base (USDC, ETH, WETH, and more)
- 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, and your agent is ready to transact.
Agentic Wallet vs Direct SDK Integration
| Feature | Agentic Wallet | Direct SDK |
|---|---|---|
| Setup time | 1 command | Hours of integration |
| Authentication | Browser OAuth | API keys + manual rotation |
| Spending limits | Built-in per-session | Build it yourself |
| Token trading | Gasless on Base | Manual DEX integration |
| x402 payments | Native support | Custom implementation |
| Agent identity | ERC-8004 on-chain | Not available |
| AI assistant integration | Skills system | Custom tool definitions |
Use Cases
The Machine Economy
Agents pay for compute, APIs, and data streams autonomously. x402 micropayments make every resource accessible — no API keys, no subscriptions.
Autonomous DeFi
Monitor yields, execute trades, and manage positions 24/7 on Base. Your agent rebalances at 3am without waiting for approval.
Agentic Commerce
AI agents paying other AI agents for services. Send payments, monetize outputs, participate in creator economies. The internet of agents, powered by USDC.
Identity-Verified Transactions
Unique to AgnicPay: 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:
| Guardrail | Description |
|---|---|
| Session caps | Maximum spend per CLI session, set during OAuth login |
| Transaction limits | Per-transaction size controls |
| Self-custody | Private keys in secure infrastructure, never exposed to agent prompts |
| OAuth scoping | Browser-based consent with explicit permission grants |
| On-chain identity | ERC-8004 agent NFT + trust score for verifiable interactions |
| KYA credentials | SD-JWT verifiable credentials for identity claims (age, jurisdiction) |
How It Works
The architecture is designed for autonomous operation:
- Agent Skills — Pre-built financial operations (trade, send, pay, identity)
agnicCLI — Command-line bridge between your AI assistant and the wallet- x402 Protocol — Machine-to-machine payment standard for API micropayments
- USDC Wallet — Self-custody wallet on Base with enforced spending limits
- AgnicPay Dashboard — Usage monitoring, balance management at pay.agnic.ai

Components
agnic CLI
The command-line tool that powers all wallet operations:
Agent Skills
Pre-built instruction files that teach AI assistants how to use the wallet:
8 skills included: authenticate, check-balance, send-usdc, trade-tokens, search-for-service, pay-for-service, fund-wallet, get-agent-identity.
x402 Protocol
HTTP 402-based micropayments with USDC. Your agent sends a request, gets a 402 response with the price, signs a payment authorization, and retries — all handled automatically by the CLI.
