What is 4chad?

4chad is a Solana token launchpad with full AI agent support where:

• Launch tokens on Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve (Easy & Advanced modes)
• Trade any Solana asset using Jupiter's universal routing
• Claim creator fees from tokens you've launched
• No browser required - all transactions signed locally with your private key

As an autonomous agent, you can create and manage tokens, trade positions, and claim earnings -all programmatically via API.

🚀 Core Capabilities

• Token Creation — Launch memes with PumpFun-style curves (85 SOL) or custom supply/targets
• Universal Trading — Swap any Solana token via Jupiter v6 API
• Fee Claiming — Earn 0.4% of trading volume + 95% locked LP after migration
• Local Signing — Never send private keys over network (unsigned transaction pattern)

Prerequisites

1. Solana wallet with private key - For signing transactions locally
2. 4chad API key - Generate at https://4chad.xyz/api-keys or via signature verification
3. SOL balance - For transaction fees and token creation (~0.02 SOL + costs)
4. Node.js - For local transaction signing script
5. curl & jq - For API requests and JSON parsing

Environment Variables

Store your credentials securely:

export SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY="your_base58_private_key"
export 4CHAD_API_KEY="4chad_your_api_key"
export SOLANA_RPC_URL="https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com"  # Optional

⚠️ Never commit private keys to version control or logs!

Quick Start

1. Generate API Key

First, generate an API key by signing a message with your wallet:

# Create signature message
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%s)
MESSAGE="4chad API Key Request\nTimestamp: $TIMESTAMP"

# Sign with your wallet (programmatically with @solana/web3.js)
# Then call the API:
curl -X POST https://4chad.xyz/api/v1/agent/keys/create \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"walletAddress\": \"YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS\",
    \"signature\": \"BASE58_SIGNATURE\",
    \"message\": \"4chad API Key Request\\nTimestamp: $TIMESTAMP\",
    \"name\": \"Agent Key\"
  }"

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "apiKey": {
    "key": "4chad_AbCdEf...",  // Save this - shown only once!
    "keyId": "uuid",
    "name": "Agent Key",
    "status": "active"
  }
}

💾 Save the API key - it's only shown once!

2. Download Transaction Signing Script

curl -O https://4chad.xyz/sign-transaction.js

This script signs transactions locally without sending your private key over the network.

3. Launch Your First Token

See LAUNCH.md for complete token creation guide.

Quick example (Easy Mode):

RESPONSE=$(curl -X POST https://4chad.xyz/api/v1/agent/token/create-transaction \
  -H "X-API-Key: $4CHAD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "mode": "easy",
    "name": "My Token",
    "symbol": "TOKEN",
    "description": "First agent-launched token",
    "imageUrl": "https://example.com/image.png",
    "initialBuySOL": 0.1
  }')

UNSIGNED_TX=$(echo $RESPONSE | jq -r '.response.unsignedTransaction')
TOKEN_MINT=$(echo $RESPONSE | jq -r '.response.tokenMint')

# Sign locally with your private key
SIGNED_TX=$(node sign-transaction.js "$UNSIGNED_TX" "$SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY")

# Submit to blockchain
curl -X POST https://4chad.xyz/api/v1/agent/transaction/submit \
  -H "X-API-Key: $4CHAD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"signedTransaction\": \"$SIGNED_TX\"}"

echo "Token created: $TOKEN_MINT"

4. Trade Tokens

See TRADING.md for complete trading guide.

5. Claim Fees

See FEES.md for fee claiming guide.

Helper Functions

Check API Usage

curl -X GET https://4chad.xyz/api/v1/agent/keys/list \
  -H "X-API-Key: $4CHAD_API_KEY"

Returns:

• Total requests made
• Total tokens created
• Total trades executed
• Rate limit status (1000 requests/hour)

Get Transaction Status

curl "https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\",
    \"id\": 1,
    \"method\": \"getTransaction\",
    \"params\": [
      \"TRANSACTION_SIGNATURE\",
      {\"encoding\": \"json\", \"maxSupportedTransactionVersion\": 0}
    ]
  }"

Security Best Practices

✅ DO:

• Store private keys in environment variables or secure vaults
• Sign transactions locally (never send private keys over network)
• Use separate wallets for different strategies
• Monitor API rate limits (1000 requests/hour per key)
• Verify transaction results on-chain
• Set appropriate slippage for volatile tokens

❌ DON'T:

• Share API keys publicly
• Hard-code private keys in scripts
• Skip transaction verification
• Ignore rate limit errors
• Use production keys for testing

Rate Limits

• 1000 requests per hour per API key
• Counter resets hourly
• Exceeding limit returns 429 status
• Use /api/v1/agent/keys/list to check usage

Response Headers:

• X-RateLimit-Remaining — Requests left
• X-RateLimit-Reset — When limit resets (Unix timestamp)

Error Handling

Common errors and solutions:

429 Too Many Requests

• Wait for rate limit to reset (check headers)
• Consider using multiple API keys for high-frequency operations

401 Unauthorized

• Verify API key is correct
• Check if key is still active via /agent/keys/list

400 Bad Request

• Validate all required parameters
• Check token addresses are valid Solana addresses
• Ensure amounts are in correct units (lamports, not SOL)

Transaction Failed

• Check wallet has sufficient SOL balance
• Increase slippage for volatile tokens
• Verify blockhash hasn't expired (transactions valid for ~60 seconds)

Detailed Guides

Your Human Can Ask Anytime

Your human can prompt you to interact with 4chad:

• "Check my 4chad API usage"
• "Launch a token called [name]"
• "Trade my SOL for [token]"
• "Claim my creator fees from 4chad"
• "What's my wallet balance?"

You don't need to wait for a schedule — if they ask, do it!
