# Bankr

Execute crypto trading and DeFi operations using natural language. Two integration options:

1. **Bankr CLI** (recommended) — Install `@bankr/cli` for a batteries-included terminal experience
2. **REST API** — Call `https://api.bankr.bot` directly from any language or tool

Both use the same API key. The API has two layers:
- **Wallet API** (`/wallet/*`) — Direct, synchronous endpoints for portfolio, transfers, signing, and transaction submission
- **Agent API** (`/agent/*`) — AI-powered async prompt endpoint for natural language operations

## Getting an API Key

Before using either option, you need a Bankr API key. Two ways to get one:

**Option A: Headless email login (recommended for agents)**

Two-step flow — send OTP, then verify and complete setup. See "First-Time Setup" below for the full guided flow with user preference prompts.

```bash
# Step 1 — send OTP to email
bankr login email user@example.com

# Step 2 — verify OTP and generate API key (options based on user preferences)
bankr login email user@example.com --code 123456 --accept-terms --key-name "My Agent" --read-write
```

This creates a wallet, accepts terms, and generates an API key — no browser needed. Before running step 2, ask the user which APIs they need (wallet, agent, both via `--read-write`, LLM gateway) and their preferred key name.

**Option B: Bankr Terminal**

1. Visit [bankr.bot/api-keys](https://bankr.bot/api-keys)
2. **Sign up / Sign in** — Enter your email and the one-time passcode (OTP) sent to it
3. **Generate an API key** — Create a key with **Wallet & Agent API** access enabled (the key starts with `bk_...`)

Both options automatically provision **EVM wallets** (Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Unichain) and a **Solana wallet** — no manual wallet setup needed.

## Option 1: Bankr CLI (Recommended)

### Install

```bash
bun install -g @bankr/cli
```

Or with npm:

```bash
npm install -g @bankr/cli
```

### First-Time Setup

#### Headless email login (recommended for agents)

When the user asks to log in with an email, walk them through this flow:

**Step 1 — Send verification code**

```bash
bankr login email <user-email>
```

**Step 2 — Ask the user for the OTP code and all preferences in a single message.** This avoids unnecessary back-and-forth. Ask for:

1. **OTP code** — the code they received via email
2. **Accept Terms of Service (REQUIRED)** — Present the [Terms of Service](https://bankr.bot/terms) link and confirm the user agrees. **The login command will fail for new users without `--accept-terms`.** You MUST ask for ToS acceptance and do not pass `--accept-terms` unless the user has explicitly confirmed.
3. **Which APIs do they need?**
   - **Wallet API** — enabled by default, use `--no-wallet-api` to disable
   - **Agent API** (`--agent-api`) — AI-powered prompts and natural language operations
   - **Token Launch** — enabled by default, use `--no-token-launch` to disable
   - Add `--read-write` to allow transactions (without it, enabled APIs are read-only)
4. **Enable LLM gateway access?** (`--llm`) — multi-model API at `llm.bankr.bot` (currently limited to beta testers). Skip if user doesn't need it.
5. **Key name?** (`--key-name`) — a display name for the API key (e.g. "My Agent", "Trading Bot")

**Step 3 — Construct and run the step 2 command** with the user's choices. **Do NOT execute if the user has not explicitly accepted the Terms of Service** — ask again if needed:

```bash
# Full access: wallet + agent with write + LLM
bankr login email <user-email> --code <otp> --accept-terms --key-name "My Agent" --agent-api --read-write --llm

# Agent with write access (AI can execute transactions)
bankr login email <user-email> --code <otp> --accept-terms --key-name "Trading Agent" --agent-api --read-write

# Default key (wallet + token launch, read-only)
bankr login email <user-email> --code <otp> --accept-terms --key-name "My Key"

# Agent read-only (research, prices, balances — no transactions)
bankr login email <user-email> --code <otp> --accept-terms --key-name "Research Agent" --agent-api

# LLM-only (no wallet, no token launch)
bankr login email <user-email> --code <otp> --accept-terms --key-name "LLM Client" --no-wallet-api --no-token-launch --llm
```

#### Login options reference

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `--code <otp>` | OTP code received via email (step 2) |
| `--accept-terms` | Accept [Terms of Service](https://bankr.bot/terms) without prompting (required for new users) |
| `--key-name <name>` | Display name for the API key (e.g. "My Agent"). Prompted if omitted |
| `--no-wallet-api` | Disable Wallet API (enabled by default) |
| `--agent-api` | Enable Agent API (AI prompts, natural language operations) |
| `--read-write` | Disable read-only mode (allow transactions). Without this, enabled APIs are read-only |
| `--no-token-launch` | Disable Token Launch API (enabled by default) |
| `--llm` | Enable [LLM gateway](https://docs.bankr.bot/llm-gateway/overview) access (multi-model API at `llm.bankr.bot`). Currently limited to beta testers |
| `--allowed-ips <ips>` | Comma-separated IP/CIDR allowlist for the API key (e.g., `1.2.3.4,10.0.0.0/24`) |
| `--allowed-recipients <addresses>` | Comma-separated EVM/Solana addresses the key can send to (auto-classified by 0x prefix) |

**New key defaults** (when no flags are passed):

| Flag | Default | To change |
|------|---------|-----------|
| `walletApiEnabled` | Enabled | `--no-wallet-api` |
| `agentApiEnabled` | Disabled | `--agent-api` |
| `tokenLaunchApiEnabled` | Enabled | `--no-token-launch` |
| `llmGatewayEnabled` | Disabled | `--llm` |
| `readOnly` | Enabled (read-only) | `--read-write` |

Any option not provided on the command line will be prompted interactively by the CLI, so you can mix headless and interactive as needed.

#### Login with existing API key

If the user already has an API key:

```bash
bankr login --api-key bk_YOUR_KEY_HERE
```

If they need to create one at the Bankr Terminal:
1. Run `bankr login --url` — prints the terminal URL
2. Present the URL to the user, ask them to generate a `bk_...` key
3. Run `bankr login --api-key bk_THE_KEY`

#### Separate LLM Gateway Key (Optional)

If your LLM gateway key differs from your API key, pass `--llm-key` during login or run `bankr config set llmKey YOUR_LLM_KEY` afterward. When not set, the API key is used for both. See [references/llm-gateway.md](references/llm-gateway.md) for full details.

#### Verify Setup

```bash
bankr whoami
bankr wallet portfolio
bankr agent prompt "What is my balance?"
```

## Option 2: REST API (Direct)

No CLI installation required — call the API directly with `curl`, `fetch`, or any HTTP client.

### Authentication

All requests require an `X-API-Key` header:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/agent/prompt" \
  -H "X-API-Key: bk_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "What is my ETH balance?"}'
```

### Quick Example: Submit → Poll → Complete

```bash
# 1. Submit a prompt — returns a job ID
JOB=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/agent/prompt" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $BANKR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "What is my ETH balance?"}')
JOB_ID=$(echo "$JOB" | jq -r '.jobId')

# 2. Poll until terminal status
while true; do
  RESULT=$(curl -s "https://api.bankr.bot/agent/job/$JOB_ID" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $BANKR_API_KEY")
  STATUS=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.status')
  [ "$STATUS" = "completed" ] || [ "$STATUS" = "failed" ] || [ "$STATUS" = "cancelled" ] && break
  sleep 2
done

# 3. Read the response
echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.response'
```

### Conversation Threads

Every prompt response includes a `threadId`. Pass it back to continue the conversation:

```bash
# Start — the response includes a threadId
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/agent/prompt" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $BANKR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "What is the price of ETH?"}'
# → {"jobId": "job_abc", "threadId": "thr_XYZ", ...}

# Continue — pass threadId to maintain context
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/agent/prompt" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $BANKR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "And what about SOL?", "threadId": "thr_XYZ"}'
```

Omit `threadId` to start a new conversation. CLI equivalent: `bankr agent prompt --continue` (reuses last thread) or `bankr agent prompt --thread <id>`.

### API Endpoints Summary

#### Wallet API (`/wallet/*`) — Direct endpoints (synchronous)

| Endpoint | Method | Auth | Description |
|----------|--------|------|-------------|
| `/wallet/me` | GET | Read | Wallet info (address, chains) |
| `/wallet/portfolio` | GET | Read | Portfolio balances, supports `?include=pnl,nfts` for progressive loading |
| `/wallet/swap-quote` | POST | Read | Quote a same-chain EVM swap without executing |
| `/wallet/swap` | POST | Write | Execute a same-chain EVM swap (output returns to your wallet) |
| `/wallet/transfer` | POST | Write | Transfer tokens (multi-chain, supports `allowedRecipients` enforcement) |
| `/wallet/sign` | POST | Write | Sign messages, typed data, or transactions |
| `/wallet/submit` | POST | Write | Submit raw transactions to chain |

- **Read endpoints** (`/wallet/me`, `/wallet/portfolio`) — any valid API key with a wallet
- **Swap quote** (`/wallet/swap-quote`) — a quote is a read, so read-only API keys are allowed; API-key callers still need `walletApiEnabled`
- **Write endpoints** (`/wallet/swap`, `/wallet/transfer`, `/wallet/sign`, `/wallet/submit`) — require `walletApiEnabled` and reject read-only keys. `/wallet/transfer` also enforces `allowedRecipients`; `/wallet/swap` does not (output returns to your own wallet)
- IP allowlist enforced on all endpoints

#### Recipient & user lookup helpers (public, no auth)

| Endpoint | Method | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| `/addresses/resolve?value=<recipient>&type=<address\|ens\|twitter\|farcaster>` | GET | Resolve a recipient (0x address, ENS-style name `.eth`/`.base.eth`/`.cb.id`, or social handle) to a 0x address. Used by `bankr wallet transfer --to` to support ENS input. |
| `/users/search?...` | GET | Search Bankr users by Twitter or Farcaster username. |

The legacy aliases `/public/resolve-recipient` and `/public/search-users` have been **removed** — use the structured `/addresses/resolve` and `/users/search` endpoints instead.

#### Agent API (`/agent/*`) — AI-powered endpoints (async)

| Endpoint | Method | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| `/agent/prompt` | POST | Submit a prompt (async, returns job ID) |
| `/agent/job/{jobId}` | GET | Check job status and results |
| `/agent/job/{jobId}/cancel` | POST | Cancel a running job |

#### Public endpoints (no auth required)

| Endpoint | Method | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| `/token-launches` | GET | List recent token launches (cached, public) |

#### Removed legacy endpoints

The following `/agent/*` endpoints have been removed. Use the `/wallet/*` equivalents:

| Removed | Use Instead |
|---------|-------------|
| `GET /agent/me` | `GET /wallet/me` |
| `GET /agent/balances` | `GET /wallet/portfolio` |
| `POST /agent/sign` | `POST /wallet/sign` |
| `POST /agent/submit` | `POST /wallet/submit` |

For full API details (request/response schemas, job states, rich data, polling strategy), see:

**Reference**: [references/api-workflow.md](references/api-workflow.md) | [references/sign-submit-api.md](references/sign-submit-api.md)

## CLI Command Reference (v0.3.x)

`@bankr/cli` 0.2+ organizes commands into three namespaces: `wallet`, `agent`, and `tokens`. Old flat commands (`balances`, `prompt`, `status`, etc.) still work as deprecated aliases.

### `bankr wallet` — Wallet Operations

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `bankr wallet` | Show wallet info (default: whoami) |
| `bankr wallet portfolio` | Portfolio balances across all chains (hides tokens under $1 by default) |
| `bankr wallet portfolio --pnl` | Include profit/loss data |
| `bankr wallet portfolio --nfts` | Include NFT holdings |
| `bankr wallet portfolio --all` | Include both PnL and NFTs |
| `bankr wallet portfolio --chain <chains>` | Filter by chain(s): base, polygon, mainnet, unichain, solana (comma-separated) |
| `bankr wallet portfolio --json` | Output raw JSON |
| `bankr wallet transfer --to <recipient> --token <symbol> --amount <amount>` | Transfer tokens; `--to` accepts a 0x address or ENS-style name (`.eth`, `.base.eth`, `.cb.id`), `--token` resolves symbols to contracts. Social handles work via the AI agent only. |
| `bankr wallet transfer --to vitalik.eth --token USDC --amount 50 --chain base` | ENS recipient with explicit chain |
| `bankr wallet swap --from <symbol/addr> --to <symbol/addr> --amount <amount>` | Swap tokens on a single EVM chain (same-chain). Resolves symbols to contracts; `--from`/`--to`/`--amount` required; `--chain` defaults to `base`. Solana is not supported. |
| `bankr wallet swap --from ETH --to USDC --amount 0.1 --chain base --quote-only` | Print the swap quote (you pay / you receive / min received) without executing |
| `bankr wallet sign` | Sign messages/typed data/transactions |
| `bankr wallet submit` | Submit raw transactions |

### `bankr agent` — AI Agent Operations

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `bankr agent prompt <text>` | Send a prompt to the Bankr AI agent |
| `bankr agent prompt --continue <text>` | Continue the most recent conversation thread |
| `bankr agent prompt --thread <id> <text>` | Continue a specific conversation thread |
| `bankr agent status <jobId>` | Check the status of a running job |
| `bankr agent cancel <jobId>` | Cancel a running job |
| `bankr agent profile` | View/manage agent profile |
| `bankr agent skills` | Show all Bankr AI agent skills with examples |

### `bankr tokens` — Token Discovery

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `bankr tokens search <query>` | Search for tokens by name or symbol |
| `bankr tokens info <symbol-or-address>` | Get detailed token information |

### `bankr club` — Bankr Club Membership

Manage Bankr Club subscription from the CLI (status, signup, cancel). Pay with USDC (default), BNKR, ETH, or any Base ERC-20 — non-USDC/BNKR tokens are swapped to USDC at checkout.

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `bankr club` | Show membership status (default; same as `status`) |
| `bankr club status` | Show plan, renewal date, and daily message count |
| `bankr club signup` | Subscribe (monthly, USDC default) |
| `bankr club signup --yearly` | Subscribe yearly ($198 — saves ~$42/year) |
| `bankr club signup --token <symbol-or-addr>` | Pay with `USDC` (default), `BNKR`, `ETH`, or any 0x-prefixed Base ERC-20 |
| `bankr club signup -y` | Skip the confirmation prompt |
| `bankr club cancel` | Cancel subscription (access continues until period ends) |

Pricing is $20/mo or $198/yr USD-equivalent. Actual on-chain amount depends on the chosen token's price at quote time. The `--token` flag was added in CLI 0.3.4; older versions only support USDC.

**Monthly → yearly upgrade**: active monthly members can upgrade to yearly by asking the agent (e.g. "upgrade me to yearly"). The full yearly price is charged and the new 365-day term stacks on top of any remaining monthly time, so no paid time is lost. Yearly → monthly downgrades and yearly resubscribes are not supported.

### Auth & Config Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `bankr login` | Authenticate with the Bankr API (interactive menu) |
| `bankr login email <address>` | Send OTP to email (headless step 1) |
| `bankr login email <address> --code <otp> [options]` | Verify OTP and complete setup (headless step 2) |
| `bankr login --api-key <key>` | Login with an existing API key directly |
| `bankr login --api-key <key> --llm-key <key>` | Login with separate LLM gateway key |
| `bankr login --url` | Print Bankr Terminal URL for API key generation |
| `bankr logout` | Clear stored credentials |
| `bankr whoami` | Show current authentication info |
| `bankr config get [key]` | Get config value(s) |
| `bankr config set <key> <value>` | Set a config value |
| `bankr --config <path> <command>` | Use a custom config file path |

Valid config keys: `apiKey`, `apiUrl`, `llmKey`, `llmUrl`

Default config location: `~/.bankr/config.json`. Override with `--config` or `BANKR_CONFIG` env var.

### Non-Interactive Mode

For headless environments — CI pipelines, Docker containers, cron jobs — pass the `--not-interactive` (alias `--ni`) global flag, or set `BANKR_NOT_INTERACTIVE=1`. Both forms work before or after the subcommand.

The flag implies `--yes` on every confirmation prompt and fails fast (exit 1, clear error) when a command would otherwise hang on a required prompt. Use it whenever the user asks for an automated/scripted invocation.

| Command | Required headless flag(s) when --ni is set |
|---------|---------------------------------------------|
| `bankr login` | `--api-key <key>`, `login siwe --private-key <key>`, or `login email <addr> [--code <otp>]` |
| `bankr launch` | `--name <name>` (other fields default to empty) |
| `bankr fees claim-wallet` | `--all` (plus `--private-key` or `BANKR_PRIVATE_KEY`) |
| `bankr agent` | a prompt argument or piped stdin |

Read-only commands (`whoami`, `wallet portfolio`, `tokens`, `agent status`, etc.) don't prompt at all — `--ni` is harmless but redundant.

Examples:

```bash
# Cron — claim creator fees nightly
BANKR_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... bankr --ni fees claim-wallet --all

# CI — programmatic token launch (simulate, no broadcast)
bankr --ni launch --name MyToken --symbol MTK --simulate

# Pipeline — agent prompt from stdin
echo "summarize today's trades" | bankr --ni agent prompt
```

### Deprecated Aliases

Old flat commands still work but prefer the namespaced versions:

| Deprecated | Use Instead |
|-----------|-------------|
| `bankr prompt` | `bankr agent` |
| `bankr status` | `bankr agent status` |
| `bankr cancel` | `bankr agent cancel` |
| `bankr balances` | `bankr wallet portfolio` |
| `bankr profile` | `bankr agent profile` |
| `bankr sign` | `bankr wallet sign` |
| `bankr submit` | `bankr wallet submit` |
| `bankr skills` | `bankr agent skills` |

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `BANKR_API_KEY` | API key (overrides stored key) |
| `BANKR_API_URL` | API URL (default: `https://api.bankr.bot`) |
| `BANKR_LLM_KEY` | LLM gateway key (falls back to `BANKR_API_KEY` if not set) |
| `BANKR_LLM_URL` | LLM gateway URL (default: `https://llm.bankr.bot`) |
| `BANKR_NOT_INTERACTIVE` | Set to `1` to enable non-interactive mode globally (equivalent to passing `--ni` / `--not-interactive` on every invocation) |

Environment variables override config file values. Config file values override defaults.

### LLM Gateway Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `bankr llm models` | List available LLM models |
| `bankr llm credits` | Check credit balance |
| `bankr llm credits add <amount> [--token <addr>] [-y]` | Top up LLM credits from wallet |
| `bankr llm credits auto [--enable/--disable] [--amount] [--threshold] [--tokens]` | View or configure auto top-up |
| `bankr llm setup openclaw [--install]` | Generate or install OpenClaw config |
| `bankr llm setup opencode [--install]` | Generate or install OpenCode config |
| `bankr llm setup claude` | Show Claude Code environment setup |
| `bankr llm setup cursor` | Show Cursor IDE setup instructions |
| `bankr llm claude [args...]` | Launch Claude Code via the Bankr LLM Gateway |

## Core Usage

### Simple Query

For straightforward requests that complete quickly:

```bash
bankr agent prompt "What is my ETH balance?"
bankr agent prompt "What's the price of Bitcoin?"
```

The CLI handles the full submit-poll-complete workflow automatically. You can also use the shorthand — any unrecognized command is treated as a prompt:

```bash
bankr What is the price of ETH?
```

### Interactive Prompt

For prompts containing `$` or special characters that the shell would expand:

```bash
# Interactive mode — no shell expansion issues
bankr agent prompt
# Then type: Buy $50 of ETH on Base

# Or pipe input
echo 'Buy $50 of ETH on Base' | bankr agent prompt
```

### Conversation Threads

Continue a multi-turn conversation with the agent:

```bash
# First prompt — starts a new thread automatically
bankr agent prompt "What is the price of ETH?"
# → Thread: thr_ABC123

# Continue the conversation (agent remembers the ETH context)
bankr agent prompt --continue "And what about BTC?"
bankr agent prompt -c "Compare them"

# Resume any thread by ID
bankr agent prompt --thread thr_ABC123 "Show me ETH chart"
```

Thread IDs are automatically saved to config after each prompt. The `--continue` / `-c` flag reuses the last thread.

### Manual Job Control

For advanced use or long-running operations:

```bash
# Submit and get job ID
bankr agent prompt "Buy $100 of ETH"
# → Job submitted: job_abc123

# Check status of a specific job
bankr agent status job_abc123

# Cancel if needed
bankr agent cancel job_abc123
```

## LLM Gateway

The [Bankr LLM Gateway](https://docs.bankr.bot/llm-gateway/overview) is a unified API for Claude, Gemini, GPT, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, GLM, and other models — multi-provider access, cost tracking, automatic failover, and SDK compatibility through a single endpoint.

**Base URL:** `https://llm.bankr.bot` | **Dashboard:** [bankr.bot/llm](https://bankr.bot/llm) | **API Keys:** [bankr.bot/api-keys](https://bankr.bot/api-keys)

### Key Concepts

- Uses your `llmKey` if configured, otherwise falls back to your API key
- **LLM credits** (USD) and **trading wallet** (crypto) are completely separate balances — having crypto does NOT give you LLM credits
- **New accounts start with $0 LLM credits** — top up via `bankr llm credits add 25` or at [bankr.bot/llm?tab=credits](https://bankr.bot/llm?tab=credits) before making any LLM calls, or you will get a 402 error
- Check credits: `bankr llm credits` | Top up: `bankr llm credits add <amount>` | Auto top-up: `bankr llm credits auto --enable --amount 25 --tokens USDC`
- In OpenClaw config, prefix model IDs with `bankr/` (e.g. `bankr/claude-sonnet-4.6`). In direct API calls, use bare IDs (e.g. `claude-sonnet-4.6`)
- **Per-model discounts** available for Bankr Club members and partners — applied automatically at billing time
- **Expiring credit grants**: promotional or developer grants may carry an expiry date. Your spendable balance is your permanent (purchased) credits plus any unexpired grants — grants are spent first (soonest-expiring first) and drop off automatically at expiry

### Quick Commands

```bash
bankr llm models                           # List available models
bankr llm credits                          # Check credit balance
bankr llm credits add 25                   # Top up $25 credits (defaults to Base USDC)
bankr llm credits add 25 --token USDT      # Pay USDT on whichever chain holds the most
bankr llm credits add 25 --token ETH       # Native token; auto-swapped on its chain
bankr llm credits auto --enable --amount 25 --tokens USDC,USDT  # Multi-chain auto top-up
bankr llm setup openclaw --install         # Install Bankr provider into OpenClaw
bankr llm setup claude                     # Print Claude Code env vars
bankr llm claude                           # Launch Claude Code through gateway
```

### Agent Credit Top-Up

The AI agent can top up your LLM credits directly in conversation — no CLI or web dashboard needed:

```bash
bankr agent prompt "Top up my LLM credits with $25"
bankr agent prompt "Add $10 of LLM credits using my ETH"
bankr agent prompt "How many LLM credits do I have left?"
```

The agent can also report your current LLM credit balance in conversation — including any expiring grants and when they lapse — without needing the `bankr llm credits` command.

1 credit = $1 USD. Multi-chain: pay with USDC or USDT directly on Base, Polygon, Ethereum, Arbitrum, or BNB Chain, or with any other ERC-20 (auto-swapped to the chain's preferred stablecoin — USDC on most chains, USDT on BNB). When using `--token`, the CLI picks the chain with the highest USD balance of that token. Maximum $1,000 per top-up.

### Model Deprecation

The gateway supports model deprecation with auto-redirect to replacement models. Deprecated models return `X-Model-Deprecated` and `X-Model-Replacement` response headers. Hard-deprecated models return HTTP 410 — update your model ID to the replacement indicated in the header.

### Leverage Trading

- **Hyperliquid** (primary) — Perpetual futures on Hyperliquid L1 with on-chain order book. Crypto, stocks (TSLA, AAPL, NVDA via HIP-3), spot trading. Up to 50x leverage.
- **Avantis** (secondary) — Perpetuals on Base for crypto (up to 50x), forex and commodities (up to 100x)
- Stop loss, take profit, and position management on both platforms

### Token Deployment

- **EVM (Base, default)**: Launch ERC20 tokens via Doppler on a Uniswap V4 pool with customizable metadata and social links. Fixed **100 billion** supply, **0.7%** swap fee split **95% creator / 5% protocol**. Tokens deploy to Base by default. Legacy Clanker tokens remain claimable (claims auto-detect Doppler vs Clanker).
- **Solana**: Launch SPL tokens via Raydium LaunchLab with bonding curve and auto-migration to CPMM
- Creator fee claiming on both chains
- Fee Key NFTs for Solana (50% LP trading fees post-migration)
- Optional fee recipient designation with 99.9%/0.1% split (Solana)
- Both creator AND fee recipient can claim bonding curve fees (gas sponsored)
- Optional vesting parameters (Solana)
- Base launch limits: 50/day standard, 100/day Bankr Club (gas sponsored within limits)
- Tokens deployed through Bankr are always visible in your portfolio, even without market price data

**Reference**: [references/token-deployment.md](references/token-deployment.md)

> **Selling your own creator-fee token:** Bankr blocks selling a token you earn fees on through the ordinary swap/limit/stop/DCA/TWAP tools (buying and transferring are unaffected). Builders take profit gradually instead via **Glidepath** — an AI-paced gradual exit managed from the token page at [bankr.bot](https://bankr.bot). Glidepath is a web feature; it isn't a CLI/API action. Details: https://docs.bankr.bot/token-launching/glidepath

### Automation

### x402 Paid API Calls

The agent can discover, call, and deploy x402-protected API endpoints, automatically handling token payments on Base:

- **Discover** endpoints in the Bankr registry or via web search
- **Inspect** endpoint pricing, methods, and input/output schemas
- **Call** endpoints with automatic payment signing in the endpoint's required token — USDC or any supported ERC-20 (max $10/request)
- **Deploy** new x402 endpoints directly through the agent (write handler code, set pricing, deploy)
- **Price** your own endpoints in USDC or any supported ERC-20; revenue settles on-chain and is accounted in USD at settlement time
- Works with any x402-compatible endpoint (Bankr-hosted or external)

**Reference**: [references/x402-cloud.md](references/x402-cloud.md)

### Web Browsing

The agent has a built-in headless browser for web interactions:

- **Open** URLs and navigate web pages
- **Read** page content, extract data, and take screenshots
- **Interact** with page elements (click, type, scroll)
- **Persist** browser sessions across multi-step workflows
- Useful for research, data extraction, and interacting with web apps that don't have APIs

**Reference**: [references/x402-cloud.md](references/x402-cloud.md)

### Ask About Bankr

The agent can answer questions about Bankr itself — how features work, official domains and links, the official Telegram bot, and support channels — grounded in Bankr's own documentation. When it doesn't have a confident answer it abstains rather than guessing, so you won't get fabricated links or facts. Useful for onboarding questions and for verifying that a link or channel is genuinely official.

### Arbitrary Transactions

- Submit raw EVM transactions with explicit calldata
- Custom contract calls to any address
- Execute pre-built calldata from other tools
- Value transfers with data

## Safety & Access Control

Bankr has two independent layers of safety controls. A transaction must satisfy **both** to broadcast.

### Wallet-Level Security (bankr.bot → Security)

User-controlled settings that apply to every surface — chat, agent, API, CLI. Configured at [bankr.bot](https://bankr.bot) → Security; requires web authentication (an API key cannot change them).

| Control | Default | Effect |
|---------|---------|--------|
| Pause all transactions | Off | Blocks every outbound transaction until unpaused |
| Daily spending limit | $500 / 24h | Rejects any tx that pushes rolling-24h USD outflow past the limit |
| Per-transaction limit | $500 | Rejects any single tx priced above the limit |
| Permitted recipients | Off | Restricts transfers/swaps to an allowlist; new entries enter a configurable cooldown (default 24h) |
| Disable arbitrary contract calls | Off | Blocks `write_contract`, raw `/wallet/submit`, and arbitrary transaction tools (named operations like swaps still work) |

If USD pricing is unavailable and a limit is enabled, the transaction is **rejected** (fail-closed) rather than waved through. Your own wallet addresses are always implicitly allowed as recipients.

### Protected-Token Swap Guard

Bankr blocks **swaps** of a small set of protected tokens where swapping is almost always a costly mistake — for example staked positions that should be unwound through their own redeem flow. The block is swap-only: the token stays visible in your portfolio, transferable, and usable with the relevant staking/redeem tools. When a swap is blocked, the agent returns a clear reason pointing you to the correct exit path. This guard applies across the swap/limit/stop/DCA/TWAP tools on the EVM swap paths.

### API-Key Level Controls (bankr.bot/api-keys)

Per-key settings configured at [bankr.bot/api-keys](https://bankr.bot/api-keys):

**API Key Types**: Bankr uses a single key format (`bk_...`) with capability flags (`walletApiEnabled`, `agentApiEnabled`, `tokenLaunchApiEnabled`, `llmGatewayEnabled`). You can optionally configure a separate LLM Gateway key via `bankr config set llmKey` or `BANKR_LLM_KEY` — useful when you want independent revocation or different permissions for agent vs LLM access.

**Read-Only API Keys**: New keys default to `readOnly: true`. This filters all write tools (swaps, transfers, staking, token launches, etc.) from agent sessions. The `/wallet/swap`, `/wallet/sign`, `/wallet/submit`, and `/wallet/transfer` write endpoints return 403 (the `/wallet/swap-quote` read endpoint still works). Use `--read-write` during login or toggle in the web settings to disable. Ideal for monitoring bots and research agents.

**IP Whitelisting**: Set `allowedIps` on your API key to restrict usage to specific IPs or CIDR ranges (e.g., `10.0.0.0/24`). Requests from non-whitelisted IPs are rejected with 403 at the auth layer.

**Recipient Allowlist**: Restrict which addresses the key can send funds to. Independent from the wallet-level permitted recipients — when both are configured, both must pass.

### Incident Response

If you suspect a key is compromised:

1. **Pause** the wallet at [bankr.bot](https://bankr.bot) → Security — halts every outbound transaction immediately
2. **Revoke** the key at [bankr.bot/api-keys](https://bankr.bot/api-keys)
3. **Rotate** — generate a new key and update deployments
4. **Audit** — review recent transactions and agent job history before unpausing

### General

**Dedicated Agent Wallet**: When building autonomous agents, create a separate Bankr account rather than using your personal wallet. This isolates agent funds — if a key is compromised, only the agent wallet is exposed. Fund it with limited amounts and replenish as needed.

**Rate Limits**: 100 messages/day (standard), 1,000/day (Bankr Club), or custom per key. Resets 24h from first message (rolling window). LLM Gateway uses a credit-based system.

**Key safety rules:**
- Store keys in environment variables (`BANKR_API_KEY`, `BANKR_LLM_KEY`), never in source code
- Add `~/.bankr/` and `.env` to `.gitignore` — the CLI stores credentials in `~/.bankr/config.json`
- Test with small amounts on low-cost chains (Base, Polygon) before production use
- Use `waitForConfirmation: true` with `/wallet/submit` — transactions execute immediately with no confirmation prompt
- Rotate keys periodically via the dashboard or API key rotation endpoint, and revoke immediately if compromised at [bankr.bot/api-keys](https://bankr.bot/api-keys)

## Common Patterns

### Check Before Trading

```bash
# Check balance
bankr wallet portfolio --chain base

# Check price
bankr agent prompt "What's the current price of PEPE?"

# Then trade
bankr agent prompt "Buy $20 of PEPE on Base"
```

### Portfolio Review

```bash
# Direct portfolio check (no AI agent, instant response)
bankr wallet portfolio
bankr wallet portfolio --pnl        # Include profit/loss data
bankr wallet portfolio --nfts       # Include NFT holdings
bankr wallet portfolio --all        # PnL + NFTs
bankr wallet portfolio --chain base
bankr wallet portfolio --chain base,solana
bankr wallet portfolio --json

# Via AI agent (natural language, richer context)
bankr agent prompt "Show my complete portfolio"

# Chain-specific
bankr agent prompt "What tokens do I have on Base?"

# Token-specific
bankr agent prompt "Show my ETH across all chains"
```

### Set Up Automation

```bash
# DCA strategy
bankr agent prompt "DCA $100 into ETH every week"

# Stop loss protection
bankr agent prompt "Set stop loss for my ETH at $2,500"

# Limit order
bankr agent prompt "Buy ETH if price drops to $3,000"
```

### Market Research

```bash
# Token discovery
bankr tokens search PEPE
bankr tokens info USDC

# Price and analysis
bankr agent prompt "Do technical analysis on ETH"

# Trending tokens
bankr agent prompt "What tokens are trending on Base?"

# Compare tokens
bankr agent prompt "Compare ETH vs SOL"
```

## API Workflow

Bankr uses an asynchronous job-based API:

1. **Submit** — Send prompt (with optional `threadId`), get job ID and thread ID
2. **Poll** — Check status every 2 seconds
3. **Complete** — Process results when done
4. **Continue** — Reuse `threadId` for multi-turn conversations

The `bankr agent prompt` command handles this automatically. When using the REST API directly, implement the poll loop yourself (see Option 2 above or the reference below). For manual job control via CLI, use `bankr agent status <jobId>` and `bankr agent cancel <jobId>`.

For details on the API structure, job states, polling strategy, and error handling, see:

**Reference**: [references/api-workflow.md](references/api-workflow.md)

### Synchronous Endpoints (Wallet API)

For direct signing and transaction submission, use the Wallet API synchronous endpoints:

- **POST /wallet/sign** - Sign messages, typed data, or transactions without broadcasting
- **POST /wallet/submit** - Submit raw transactions directly to the blockchain
- **POST /wallet/transfer** - Transfer tokens with symbol resolution and multi-chain support

These endpoints return immediately (no polling required) and are ideal for:
- Authentication flows (sign messages)
- Gasless approvals (sign EIP-712 permits)
- Pre-built transactions (submit raw calldata)
- Programmatic token transfers

**Reference**: [references/sign-submit-api.md](references/sign-submit-api.md)

## Error Handling

Common issues and fixes:

- **Authentication errors** → Run `bankr login` or check `bankr whoami` (CLI), or verify your `X-API-Key` header (REST API)
- **Insufficient balance** → Add funds or reduce amount
- **Token not found** → Verify symbol and chain
- **Transaction reverted** → Check parameters and balances
- **Rate limiting** → Wait and retry

For comprehensive error troubleshooting, setup instructions, and debugging steps, see:

**Reference**: [references/error-handling.md](references/error-handling.md)

## Best Practices

### Security

1. Never share your API key or LLM key
2. Use a dedicated agent wallet with limited funds for autonomou
