AgentFinance

Crypto wallet creation and management for AI agents. Financial infrastructure for autonomous software.

overview

role: Founder

stack: Next.js, Solana, Ethereum, Supabase, Vercel

scope: Autonomous agents increasingly need to transact — paying for API calls, purchasing resources, receiving payments for services. But existing crypto wallets are designed for humans: manual key management, browser extensions, seed phrase backups. There's no wallet infrastructure designed for software that needs to create, fund, and transact from wallets programmatically.

highlights

  • - Programmatic wallet creation and management for AI agents
  • - Scoped permissions preventing agents from exceeding spending limits
  • - Multi-chain support across Solana and Ethereum ecosystems
  • - Transaction signing without exposing private keys to agent code
  • - Audit trail and spending analytics for agent financial activity

notes

  • Why agents need wallets

    As AI agents become more autonomous, they'll need to participate in economic transactions: paying for compute, purchasing data, tipping other agents for services, receiving micropayments. AgentFinance provides the financial primitive — a wallet that an agent can use without a human approving every transaction, but with guardrails that prevent runaway spending.

  • Security model

    The core principle is separation of concerns: agents never hold private keys. They request transactions through AgentFinance's API, which validates the request against the agent's permission scope (spending limit, approved contracts, time window) before signing and broadcasting. If an agent is compromised, the blast radius is limited to its scoped permissions — not the entire wallet.

  • Part of the stack

    AgentFinance completes the agent infrastructure trilogy alongside BotBase (distribution) and BotFriendly (service discovery). An agent deployed through BotBase can discover services on BotFriendly and pay for them through AgentFinance. These three primitives together enable a self-sustaining agent economy.
