Architecture

Extension System

Features are added via composable extensions:

const agent = await createAgent({
  name: 'my-agent',
  version: '1.0.0',
})
  .use(http())
  .use(wallets({ config: walletsFromEnv() }))
  .use(payments({ config: paymentsFromEnv() }))
  .use(identity({ config: identityFromEnv() }))
  .use(a2a())
  .build();

Extensions: http, wallets, payments, analytics, identity, a2a, ap2

Adapters

• Hono (@lucid-agents/hono) - Lightweight, edge-compatible
• Express (@lucid-agents/express) - Traditional Node.js/Express
• TanStack Start (@lucid-agents/tanstack) - Full-stack React (UI or headless)

Payment Networks

EVM: EIP-712 signatures, ERC-20 tokens (USDC), 0x-prefixed addresses Solana: Ed25519 signatures, SPL tokens (USDC), Base58 addresses

x402 Protocol Versions

v1: Simple network names (base, ethereum, solana) v2 (recommended): CAIP-2 chain IDs (eip155:8453 for Base, eip155:1 for Ethereum)

The Daydreams facilitator (https://facilitator.daydreams.systems) supports both v1 and v2. Use @lucid-agents/hono@0.7.20+ for proper x402 v2 support on Base.

API Quick Reference

Core Agent Creation

import { createAgent } from '@lucid-agents/core';
import { http } from '@lucid-agents/http';
import { z } from 'zod';

const agent = await createAgent({
  name: 'my-agent',
  version: '1.0.0',
  description: 'My first agent',
})
  .use(http())
  .build();

agent.entrypoints.add({
  key: 'greet',
  input: z.object({ name: z.string() }),
  async handler({ input }) {
    return { output: { message: `Hello, ${input.name}` } };
  },
});

Hono Adapter

import { createAgent } from '@lucid-agents/core';
import { http } from '@lucid-agents/http';
import { createAgentApp } from '@lucid-agents/hono';

const agent = await createAgent({
  name: 'my-agent',
  version: '1.0.0',
})
  .use(http())
  .build();

const { app, addEntrypoint } = await createAgentApp(agent);

addEntrypoint({
  key: 'echo',
  description: 'Echo back input',
  input: z.object({ text: z.string() }),
  handler: async ctx => {
    return { output: { text: ctx.input.text } };
  },
});

export default {
  port: Number(process.env.PORT ?? 3000),
  fetch: app.fetch,
};

Payments Extension

import { createAgent } from '@lucid-agents/core';
import { payments, paymentsFromEnv } from '@lucid-agents/payments';

const agent = await createAgent({
  name: 'my-agent',
  version: '1.0.0',
})
  .use(
    payments({
      config: {
        ...paymentsFromEnv(),
        policyGroups: [
          {
            name: 'Daily Limits',
            outgoingLimits: {
              global: { maxTotalUsd: 100.0, windowMs: 86400000 },
            },
            incomingLimits: {
              global: { maxTotalUsd: 5000.0, windowMs: 86400000 },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
      storage: { type: 'sqlite' }, // or 'in-memory' or 'postgres'
    })
  )
  .build();

ERC-8004 Identity Registration

CRITICAL: Per ERC-8004 spec, agentURI MUST be a URL to hosted metadata, NOT inline JSON.

1. Host registration file at /.well-known/erc8004.json
2. Generate agent icon (512x512 PNG)
3. Register on-chain with the hosted URL

// WRONG - DO NOT pass inline JSON
const agentURI = JSON.stringify({ name: "Agent", ... });

// CORRECT - Pass URL to hosted registration file
const agentURI = 'https://my-agent.example.com/.well-known/erc8004.json';

Full reference: ERC8004_REFERENCE.md

Critical Requirements

Zod v4 Required (NOT v3!)

{ "dependencies": { "zod": "^4.0.0" } }

Error with v3: TypeError: z.toJSONSchema is not a function Fix: bun add zod@4

@lucid-agents/hono v0.7.20+ for Base x402

{ "dependencies": { "@lucid-agents/hono": "^0.7.20" } }

Error with older versions: No facilitator registered for scheme: exact and network: base Fix: bun add @lucid-agents/hono@latest

Required Environment Variables

PAYMENTS_RECEIVABLE_ADDRESS=0xYourWalletAddress  # required
FACILITATOR_URL=https://facilitator.daydreams.systems  # required
NETWORK=base  # required (or base-sepolia, ethereum, solana, etc.)

Bun Server Export Format

// Correct - Bun auto-serves this
export default {
  port: Number(process.env.PORT ?? 3000),
  fetch: app.fetch,
};

Do NOT call Bun.serve() explicitly -- causes EADDRINUSE.

Minimal Working Example

import { createAgent } from '@lucid-agents/core';
import { http } from '@lucid-agents/http';
import { createAgentApp } from '@lucid-agents/hono';
import { payments, paymentsFromEnv } from '@lucid-agents/payments';
import { z } from 'zod';  // Must be zod v4!

const agent = await createAgent({
  name: 'my-agent',
  version: '1.0.0',
  description: 'My agent',
})
  .use(http())
  .use(payments({ config: paymentsFromEnv() }))
  .build();

const { app, addEntrypoint } = await createAgentApp(agent);

addEntrypoint({
  key: 'hello',
  description: 'Say hello',
  input: z.object({ name: z.string() }),
  price: { amount: 0 },  // Free endpoint
  handler: async (ctx) => {
    return { output: { message: `Hello, ${ctx.input.name}!` } };
  },
});

const port = Number(process.env.PORT ?? 3000);
console.log(`Agent running on port ${port}`);

export default { port, fetch: app.fetch };
