bankr

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.

# 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
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

bun install -g @bankr/cli

Or with npm:

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

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 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:

# 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 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 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:

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 for full details.

Verify Setup

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:

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

# 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:

# 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 swap (same-chain EVM, cross-chain, or Solana) without executing
/wallet/swap	POST	Write	Execute a swap — same-chain EVM, cross-chain, or any Solana leg (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

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, arbitrum, bnb, worldchain, robinhood, 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 (use the Wallet API or agent for cross-chain and Solana swaps).
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 <text> --model <id>	Max Mode — run this prompt on a specific gateway model, billed from LLM credits (-m also works)
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 files — File Storage

Command	Description
bankr files ls [--folder <path>]	List files, optionally scoped to a folder
bankr files upload <file> [--folder <path>]	Upload a local file
bankr files download <fileId>	Get a download URL
bankr files cat <fileId>	Print file contents to stdout (or save locally)
bankr files edit <fileId> --find <text> --replace <text>	Find/replace in place (--all for every occurrence)
bankr files write <fileId> [--from <path>]	Overwrite text content from a local file or stdin
bankr files search <query> [--folder <path>] [--limit <n>]	Search by filename, extension, or description
bankr files mkdir <name> [--parent <path>]	Create a folder
bankr files rm <fileId>	Delete a file (soft — recoverable for 24h)
bankr files storage	Show storage usage and quota

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.

What Club actually gates (everything else works without it):

Perk	Standard	Bankr Club
Swap fee	0.65%	0.15%
Terminal messages	5/day	Unlimited
Agent API requests	100/day	1,000/day
Concurrent recurring agent-command automations	—	Up to 20
Token launches	3 per rolling 24h	3 per rolling 24h — Club does not raise this
File storage	1 GB (10 MB/file)	10 GB (50 MB/file)
Monthly file downloads	10 GB	100 GB
Model routing	Standard	Top-tier models
Browser sessions, advanced research (Bankr score, PnL & volume analytics, web search, social sentiment)	—	Included

The launch cap is the one perk row that is deliberately flat: every Bankr wallet — Standard, Club, partner organization, provisioned partner — gets the same 3 counted launch attempts per rolling 24 hours. See Token Deployment.

Max Mode is the alternative to a subscription — pay per request from LLM credits for unlimited terminal messages, and it works with external/connected wallets, which Club checkout does not (Club requires an embedded Bankr wallet). On the Agent API, non-Club Max Mode is still capped at 100 requests/day. Holding a legacy Bankr Club NFT does not grant membership; it was a commemorative token for the first 1,000 subscribers.

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:

# 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
bankr claude [args...]	Top-level alias for bankr llm claude
bankr llm opencode [args...]	Launch OpenCode via the Bankr LLM Gateway

On the launcher commands (bankr claude, bankr llm claude, bankr llm opencode) all arguments — including -h / --help — are forwarded to the spawned tool, and a help run doesn't require authentication. Use bankr --help / bankr llm --help for the Bankr CLI's own help. Named commands also take precedence over the prompt fallthrough, so bankr claude ... launches Claude Code instead of prompting the agent; use bankr agent "..." when a prompt starts with a command name.

The bankr claude alias and the --help passthrough require @bankr/cli 0.3.18+; on older versions use bankr llm claude.

Core Usage

Simple Query

For straightforward requests that complete quickly:

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:

bankr What is the price of ETH?

Interactive Prompt

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

# 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:

# 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:

# 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 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 | API Keys: 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 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-5). In direct API calls, use bare IDs (e.g. claude-sonnet-5). Run bankr llm models for the current model list
• Claude Code's [1m] context-tier suffix is optional through the gateway — it's stripped before model lookup and the 1M window comes from the model's own context window, so claude-opus-5 and claude-opus-5[1m] behave identically. If you do use it, quote it (--model "claude-opus-5[1m]") — in zsh it's a glob character class and the command aborts before the CLI runs
• Per-model discounts available for Bankr Club members and partners — applied automatically at billing time
• Image generation: generate images via the OpenAI-native /v1/images/generations endpoint (model gpt-image-2), billed from the same LLM credit balance — see the reference
• 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
• Privacy tiers: every request is served at standard, zdr (zero data retention), or private (TEE). Ask for a tier per request, per model, per base URL, or account-wide — see below

Privacy Tiers

Three nesting levels of data-handling guarantee, requested the same way on every endpoint:

Tier	Guarantee	Coverage
standard (default)	Never routed to a provider that trains on your prompts. Providers may still retain them.	Every model
zdr	Only providers that retain nothing.	Subset — filter with bankr llm models --zdr
private	Runs inside a hardware-secured enclave (TEE), attestation verified per request. Zero-retention by construction.	Open-weight models only

Four ways to ask, so any client can reach any tier:

# 1. The `privacy` request field
curl -X POST https://llm.bankr.bot/v1/chat/completions -H "X-API-Key: $BANKR_LLM_KEY" \
  -d '{"model":"glm-5.2","privacy":"zdr","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

# 2. A base-path prefix — for tools that only take a base URL, key, and model
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://llm.bankr.bot/zdr/v1      # OpenAI-compatible clients
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://llm.bankr.bot/zdr      # Anthropic-compatible clients

# 3. A model-ID suffix
bankr llm models --zdr                                   # which models have a ZDR slot
# → use `glm-5.2:zdr` or `glm-5.2:private` as the model ID

# 4. Account-wide — Settings in the web terminal, applies to every request

• Every tier fails closed. If no provider can serve your model at the tier you asked for, the request is rejected (422 zdr_unavailable) — never quietly downgraded.
• Account setting and request combine, strongest wins. A request can tighten past the account setting; nothing in a request can drop below it.
• A tier endpoint is authoritative. Sending a request that names a different tier to /zdr or /private returns 400 privacy_conflict rather than merging. An unparseable privacy value returns 400 invalid_privacy rather than being ignored.
• X-Privacy-Tier response header reports the tier the request was actually handled under, so the guarantee is verifiable rather than assumed.
• Tier matching is case-insensitive, and only a trailing :zdr / :private token counts as the suffix opt-in.

Max Mode — Pick the Agent's Model

Max Mode overrides the Bankr agent's default model (currently Gemini 3.8 Flash) with any model from the gateway, billed per token from your LLM credit balance (not your trading wallet):

bankr agent "analyze my portfolio" --model claude-opus-5     # or -m
bankr agent "what are the top memecoins today?" -m gemini-3.1-pro
bankr agent prompt "tell me more" --continue --model claude-sonnet-5

The setting is stored on your wallet and applies across every surface — CLI, web terminal, social platforms, and automations. In the web terminal, toggle the Max button and pick a model from the picker.

• Credits are enforced per LLM call, not after the fact. Your spendable balance (minus anything already metered but not yet deducted) becomes the run's budget, re-checked before every call — the turn ends honestly when it's exhausted instead of overspending.
• Shortfalls survive. If a batch can't be fully covered, the credit is left untouched and the usage stays owed, so a later top-up settles it rather than the overspend being written off.
• Top up before enabling, or Max Mode messages will fail.

Quick Commands

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 claude                               # Launch Claude Code through gateway
bankr claude --model claude-opus-5         # Any tool flags are forwarded
bankr llm opencode                         # Launch OpenCode through gateway

Agent Credit Top-Up

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

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.

Sending credits to another Bankr user. Credit is transferable peer-to-peer — ask the agent ("send $20 of LLM credits to @alice") or POST /llm/credits/transfer. The recipient must already be a Bankr user (X username or 0x address; no ENS on this path), the minimum is $1, and a wallet may send at most $500 per trailing 24 hours. Read-only API keys are refused; pass your own transferId so a retry can't double-send.

Granted credit can be sent too, behind an opt-in. By default only purchased credit moves. Set useGrantedCredits (the transfer_llm_credits tool flag, or the "use granted credits" toggle in the web Send Credits panel) to let a transfer also spend granted credit — operator grants and bonuses, including ones carrying an expiry:

• Purchased credit still spends first, and free. Only the overflow into the granted slice carries a 10% burn fee, charged on top of the amount.
• The recipient always receives exactly the amount you entered. You are debited amount + fee, and the fee is burned — it isn't credited to anyone.
• Each granted dollar is fee'd once. Concurrent sends can't double-claim the same slice, and a replayed transferId reports the original fee rather than charging again.
• Leaving the flag off keeps the old behaviour byte-for-byte, so existing integrations need no change.

Two different ceilings, and the smaller one binds. Your balance limits what you own; your daily spend budget clamps what can move today. GET /llm/credits/state is the canonical read for both — creditBalanceUsd (purchased pool), creditGrantsUsd and creditGrants[] (live grants with their expiries), totalCreditsUsd, and a dailyBudget object (limitUsd, spentUsd, remainingUsd; limitUsd: null means uncapped). So a wallet holding $265 that's temporarily gated to $10 by a rolling window reads as exactly that, rather than as if the money were missing. The agent quotes both figures and names which one is binding when you ask about your balance.

Endpoint split: GET /llm/usage is usage-only — token counts and spend over a historical window. It no longer carries credit-balance or transferable fields; read credit state from GET /llm/credits/state. Over the daily transfer cap, POST /llm/credits/transfer returns 429.

Daily spend budget. You can cap what the gateway spends on your behalf, independently of your balance. The window is a trailing 24 hours, not a calendar day — nothing resets at midnight, capacity returns as charges age out. Over budget, spending requests return 402 with type: daily_budget_exceeded (distinct from insufficient_credits), while read-only GET endpoints keep working so you can poll for when you're unblocked. The same budget also ends Max Mode agent runs early.

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.

• Token prices and market data
• Technical analysis (RSI, MACD, etc.)
• Social sentiment analysis
• Price charts
• Trending tokens
• Token comparisons
• Holder snapshots — largest-first holder lists with USD value and supply percentage, plus a concentration summary. Supports a minimum-USD floor, which makes it usable for airdrop targeting ("holders of X with $50+")

Reference: references/market-research.md

Transfers

• Send to 0x addresses, ENS-style names (.eth, .base.eth, .cb.id), or social handles
• CLI direct (bankr wallet transfer) accepts 0x addresses + ENS only — social handles go through the AI agent
• Multi-chain support
• Bulk / multi-recipient sends via the agent — same-chain ERC-20 transfers to many recipients batch into a single on-chain transaction (one set of gas)
• Flexible amount formats
• Social handle resolution (Twitter, Farcaster, Telegram) via the agent

Reference: references/transfers.md

NFT Operations

• Browse and search collections
• View floor prices and listings
• Purchase NFTs via OpenSea — including listings priced in an ERC-20 rather than the native token (e.g. USDG on Robinhood Chain). The token approval, the payment-currency balance check, and decimals-aware pricing are all handled for you
• Floor buys survive a snipe. Asking for "the cheapest X" without naming a token ID now walks the candidate listings: if the one Bankr picked is filled by someone else mid-purchase (or the order goes invalid, or the signer's simulation reverts), it moves to the next-cheapest listing instead of failing the whole request — up to three purchase attempts, and the reply names the substitution so it's never silent. Naming an explicit token ID stays a single attempt, by design
• Accept offers on NFTs you own
• View your NFT portfolio
• Transfer NFTs
• Mint from supported platforms

Reference: references/nft-operations.md

Onchain Reward Campaigns (Merkl)

The agent can read and claim Merkl incentive rewards — the campaign rewards protocols distribute to liquidity providers and holders — on Base and Robinhood Chain:

• Check what a wallet has earned and what's currently claimable, per chain, with USD totals. Only your own wallet address is accepted
• Claim the claimable rewards on one chain in a single transaction. Claiming signs from your embedded Bankr wallet, so it isn't available in wallet mode (external/connected wallets)
• Discover earn opportunities — live Merkl campaigns ranked by APR, with TVL, daily rewards, protocol and deposit link; optionally filtered to a token symbol

bankr agent prompt "Do I have any Merkl rewards to claim?"
bankr agent prompt "Claim my Merkl rewards on base"
bankr agent prompt "What are the best Merkl earn opportunities for USDC on base?"

Campaign availability and eligibility change over time — ask the agent for the live picture rather than assuming a campaign is still running.

Polymarket Betting

• Search prediction markets
• Check odds
• Place bets on outcomes
• View positions — including any unspent collateral left in the Polymarket deposit wallet, which is recoverable with "sweep my polymarket deposit wallet"
• Redeem winnings

Reference: references/polymarket.md

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, equities (NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, HOOD, and more), forex, and commodities. Equity, forex, and commodity pairs trade during their underlying market hours only.
• Stop loss, take profit, and position management on both platforms
• Funding Hyperliquid is a venue deposit/withdraw, not a bridge: a deposit only reaches Hyperliquid, a withdrawal only lands on Arbitrum. Name the venue ("deposit $500 to hyperliquid") rather than saying "bridge"; to move withdrawn funds onward, chain a cross-chain swap after the withdrawal
• Closing a Hyperliquid position always reports its PnL, derived from the price the close was quoted at — the fill price when it filled, the limit price while it rests, the mid as a fallback — and a partial fill is flagged as such rather than reported as a full close. Transient venue rate limits (429s) are retried with backoff instead of surfacing as a failed order
• Hyperliquid charges a 1 USDC withdrawal fee, taken out of the requested amount — so your full withdrawable balance is requestable (you receive amount − 1), and withdrawals under $1 are refused rather than netting to zero

Reference: references/leverage-trading.md | references/hyperliquid.md

Tokenized Stock Trading

Trade tokenized stocks and ETFs — real-world equities issued as on-chain tokens — with a plain prompt, the same way you trade any other asset. Bankr resolves the best venue automatically when you name a ticker, or you can specify a chain/venue:

• Robinhood Chain — spot tokens issued by Robinhood (200 stocks and ETFs: NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, SPY, QQQ, and more). Trades settle against USDG (Global Dollar); Bankr routes funding through it automatically. Requires one-time location verification.
• Base (B20 tokenized equities) — Coinbase-issued equity tokens on Base: AAPL, AMZN, COIN, CRCL, GOOGL, INTC, META, MSFT, MSTR, NVDA, SNDK, SPCX, TSLA. Same location verification as Robinhood stocks.
• Solana — spot tokens from third-party issuers such as xStocks (AAPLx, TSLAx). No verification required; trade like any other token.
• Base (third-party issuers) — other issuers' spot stock tokens on Base. No verification required.
• Leveraged (perps) — for long/short exposure without owning the token, use Avantis (Base) or Hyperliquid.

Location verification is a one-time step — log in to the Bankr console (verified automatically from your connection, renews on login, expires after 30 days). Not available in the US, UK, or sanctioned countries/regions.

Spot stocks work with swaps, transfers, limit orders, and DCA. Only issuer-tokenized stock trades (Robinhood Chain and Base B20) are location-gated — memecoins, bridging, and transfers work without verification. Tickers collide across chains (12 of the 13 B20 tickers also exist on Robinhood Chain), so name the chain when you mean a specific one.

Reference: references/tokenized-stocks.md

Token Deployment

• EVM (Base, Robinhood Chain, or Arbitrum One): Launch ERC20 tokens via Doppler on a Uniswap V4 pool with customizable metadata and social links. Supply is fixed and non-mintable once deployed; standard launches use 100 billion (the web launch flow can set a custom figure — the deploy API and CLI always use the standard supply). Ticker symbols are 1–20 characters. Every trade pays a 0.7% swap fee on the pool and 95% of it goes to you (0.665% of volume, claimable anytime); the hook adds the Bankr protocol fee + BNKR buyback and LP fee on top, for 1.75% all-in. The 0.285% LP fee is creator-side too — it compounds as locked liquidity in your own pool, strengthening your token's liquidity on every swap, so the creator side totals 0.95% of volume. The default chain depends on the surface: the CLI (bankr launch) and the web launch form preselect Base, while the AI agent and the deploy API fall back to Robinhood Chain when no chain is named. Name the chain explicitly (bankr launch --chain robinhood, "chain": "base", or "launch it on Base") whenever it matters. Legacy Clanker tokens remain claimable (claims auto-detect Doppler vs Clanker).
• Arbitrum One launches (chain: "arbitrum", bankr launch --chain arbitrum, or "launch it on Arbitrum") are WETH-paired only — neither pairedStockAddress nor pairedTokenAddress is accepted there — and the launch wallet pays its own network gas (Bankr sponsors retail launch gas on Base only). Everything else — supply, fee schedule, creator vesting, quote-only fees, degen mode — behaves as on Base.
• Stock-paired launches (Base and Robinhood Chain, optional): pair the new token's pool with a registry tokenized stock instead of WETH, so the token trades against equity exposure. Available on Base (B20 equities) and Robinhood Chain — pass pairedStockAddress to the deploy API, or ask the agent to pair the launch with a ticker. Only stocks Bankr can price are offered, since launch-curve math needs a USD price. Not available on Arbitrum.
• Base quote-token launches (optional): on Base, quote the pool in one of five fixed tokens instead of WETH — BNKR, ba3Pump (Bankr-bridged PUMP from Solana), cbHYPE (Coinbase-wrapped HYPE), cbZEC (Coinbase-wrapped ZEC), or TAO (Bittensor on Base). Pass chain: "base" with the matching fixed pairedTokenAddress. User-key launches only; it can't be combined with pairedStockAddress, and omitting both gives you WETH. Volume in these pools stays eligible for the weekly developer rebate on the same terms as WETH-quoted launches. cbHYPE and cbZEC additionally wait on reviewed on-chain quote-token liquidity — if Bankr reports the pair isn't ready, that's a real refusal, not a fallback to WETH. The list is allowlisted by address; an arbitrary ERC-20 is never accepted as a quote token.
• Creator vesting is on by default on EVM: every non-partner launch premints 15% of supply to the fee recipient and vests it over 1 year with a 30-day cliff (the cliff sits inside the year, not on top of it); the other 85% seeds the pool. Turn it off at launch — "deploy with no vesting", disableVesting: true, or bankr launch --no-vesting — and 100% of supply goes into the pool instead. There is no custom percentage or schedule; the recipient is fixed at launch and transferring fee rights later does not move the allocation. Vested tokens are claimable once the cliff passes: GET /token-launches/{tokenAddress}/vesting reads the public schedule and position (phase, claimable, locked, unlocked %), and the claim runs from the token page or the API.
• Quote-only fees (EVM, optional): opt in at launch to collect all creator fees in the quote token (e.g. WETH) instead of a mix of the launched token and quote token — your total take is identical either way. Ask for "quote-only fees", pass quoteOnlyFees: true to the deploy API, or use bankr launch --quote-only-fees. Fixed at launch, like the fee schedule itself.
• Degen mode (EVM, optional): start the token at a $2,500 market cap instead of the standard starting cap, for maximum early volatility. Explicit opt-in only — ask for "degen mode" by name, or pass degenMode: true to the deploy API. The figure is fixed; there is no custom starting market cap, a token named DEGEN does not opt you in, and the mode is unavailable on partner deploys.
• 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)
• Tokens deployed through Bankr are always visible in your portfolio, even without market price data

EVM launch limits and eligibility — code these into any programmatic deploy flow:

Rule	Value
Counted launch attempts	3 per Bankr wallet per rolling 24 hours — identical for Standard, Bankr Club, partner organization and provisioned partner wallets
Launch rate	At most one token per minute
Launch-wallet age	Wallet must be ≥ 24 hours old (measured from when Bankr created it, not from your X/social account's age)
Launch-wallet balance	Must hold ≥ 0.002 native ETH on the launch chain — required even on Base, where deploy gas is sponsored
Same name, per account	3 launches of the same token name per hour → 429
Same name, all accounts	10 launches of the same name per hour → 429
Per fee-recipient address	20 launches per 24 hours across all accounts → 429

• Only launches that actually went out consume budget. Quota is reserved just before metadata pinning, and an attempt Bankr can prove never reached the chain hands its slot — and its name/fee-recipient allowance — back. Anything that was broadcast, or that Bankr can't prove wasn't, keeps counting: the classification fails safe, so never assume a failed deploy was free.
• Validation, resolution and pricing failures before that reservation point never consume a slot, and simulations don't either (--simulate / simulateOnly). Retail simulations still require the 24h-old wallet; the balance minimum is skipped.
• Validated partner-organization and provisioned-wallet launch paths are exempt from the wallet age and balance requirements, but not from the 3-per-24h cap.
• Gas sponsorship for retail launches is Base-only. On Robinhood Chain and Arbitrum the launch wallet pays its own gas. Across every sponsored path a wallet gets at most 10 sponsored transactions and $3 of gas per day — whichever runs out first ends sponsorship until the window resets.
• Five-minute balance cap: for the first five minutes after a non-partner launch, no wallet may hold more than 2% of total supply — a buy or transfer that would push a recipient over 2% fails until the cap expires. This is separate from the ~10-second anti-snipe fee decay, which changes the fee rather than the balance. Partner launches are exempt, and the expiry is encoded on-chain at launch.
• Sustained high-volume deploying can trip automated spam protection; repeatedly breaching the one-per-minute limit on the X path restricts the account for 24 hours (a limited state — login, balances and withdrawals still work).

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. Glidepath is a web feature; it isn't a CLI/API action. Details: https://docs.bankr.bot/token-launching/glidepath

Automation

• Limit orders
• Stop loss orders
• DCA (dollar-cost averaging)
• TWAP (time-weighted average price)
• Scheduled commands

Reference: references/automation.md

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). From the CLI, --max-payment <usd> is your cap and is what gets sent: an endpoint's advertised price is display-only and can never raise it, and a call whose advertised price exceeds your cap fails closed rather than paying
• 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

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

File Storage

Every Bankr wallet has a persistent filesystem, shared across the CLI, web terminal, API, and every social surface the agent runs on.

• Create, read, edit, search, move, rename, and delete files by asking the agent — a path (/research/notes.md) works anywhere a file ID does
• bankr files ls|upload|download|cat|edit|write|search|mkdir|rm|storage from the CLI; /user/files/* over REST
• Ask questions about a file without loading it — the agent runs a read-only jq/grep/awk-style pipeline in a sandbox and returns only the answer, so a 4 MB CSV never enters the conversation. Available on every wallet, no Club subscription needed
• Run outputs (/runs) — a separate, conversation-scoped scratch namespace. Deliverables a sandboxed run writes to ./output/ persist there automatically and stay readable by path in later turns, and oversized tool results are stored there instead of crowding the conversation. Text only, ~14 days, 10 MB per file / 100 MB per conversation. Save anything that matters longer into your own filesystem
• Quotas: 1 GB / 10 MB per file / 10 GB monthly downloads on the free tier; 10 GB / 50 MB / 100 GB on Bankr Club. Checked at write time, resolved live from your current Club status
• Deletion is soft — files are recoverable via support for 24 hours, then permanently gone

Reference: references/files.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.

Extending the Agent with Skills

Skills work in two directions, and they're easy to confuse. This document is the first direction: the Bankr skill installed into your agent, so it can trade. The second is the reverse — installing skills into your Bankr agent to teach it new behaviours.

• Install by pasting a link. A public GitHub folder URL (tree/<branch>/<path> containing a SKILL.md), a blob/…/SKILL.md URL, a bare repo when the skill sits at the root, or a direct .md file URL. Links from the bankr.bot Discover and partner pages work too — both the canonical share URL and the in-app routes the UI hands out resolve to the catalogue entry.
• Reinstalling replaces. A skill installed under a name that already exists overwrites it — that's the update path.
• Size limits: SKILL.md is capped at 1 MB, and each individual file under references/ at 100 KB. The agent loads a reference file's text inline on demand (up to 200 KB); binary files (images, PDFs) arrive as metadata plus a path it can hand to CLI tools.
• Frontmatter is optional. A skill published in the frontmatter-less convention still installs — Bankr synthesizes the name from the first heading and the description from the opening prose, and keeps the full document as the body without truncating it.
• Curated skills are suggested, not silently used. When a request has no native route but a curated skill covers it, the agent can name that skill even if you haven't installed it — so a capability gap reads as "install this" rather than a flat failure. Nothing is installed on your behalf.

bankr agent skills lists what the agent currently has.

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
• Read an unknown contract's ABI and call it — struct (tuple) parameters are expanded into the parenthesized signature form the encoder accepts, so struct-taking functions like Uniswap V4 position mints encode on the first try instead of failing as tuple

Reference: references/arbitrary-transaction.md

Supported Chains

Chain	Native Token	Best For	Gas Cost
Base	ETH	Memecoins, general trading, B20 tokenized equities	Very Low
Polygon	POL	Gaming, NFTs, frequent trades	Very Low
Ethereum	ETH	Blue chips, high liquidity	High
Solana	SOL	High-speed trading	Minimal
Unichain	ETH	Newer L2 option	Very Low
World Chain	ETH	Uniswap V3/V4 swaps	Very Low
Arbitrum	ETH	DeFi, low-cost transactions, token launches (WETH-paired)	Very Low
BNB Chain	BNB	BSC ecosystem trading	Low
Robinhood Chain	ETH	Tokenized stocks & ETFs (USDG), memecoins, token launches	Very Low

Robinhood Chain is an EVM L2 (chainId 4663) whose native stablecoin is USDG (Global Dollar). It hosts 200 Robinhood-issued tokenized stocks and ETFs alongside memecoins, and supports Bankr token launches (Doppler). Tokenized-stock trades require location verification (see Tokenized Stock Trading); memecoin swaps, token launches, bridging, and transfers do not.

Arbitrum One is a Doppler launch chain as well as a trading chain. Launches there are WETH-paired only and are not gas-sponsored — fund the launch wallet with ETH on Arbitrum before deploying.

Base additionally hosts the B20 tokenized equities — Coinbase-issued, 8-decimal equity tokens whose redemption ratio to the underlying share is an on-chain multiplier that moves on corporate actions. Trading them is gated by the same location verification as Robinhood stocks; everything else on Base is not.

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 → 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
Price impact limit	On (15%)	Rejects a swap whose estimated price impact exceeds the limit — guards against catastrophic fills in thin/low-liquidity pools. Adjustable 1–100% or turned off
Permitted recipients	Off	Restricts transfers/swaps to an allowlist; new entries enter a configurable cooldown (default 24h)
Arbitrary contract calls	Off (blocked)	While off, blocks write_contract, raw /wallet/submit, and arbitrary transaction tools (named operations like swaps still work). Enabling is a timed opt-in — see below
Response channels	All on	Per-channel control over where the agent is allowed to reply (X, Farcaster, Telegram). A disabled channel is silently skipped; account management on Telegram (/start, wallet linking) stays live

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.

Spend limits apply to every swap path, including cross-chain and Solana legs — the sell side is priced and checked before execution, and a successful swap counts toward your rolling 24h total.

The $500 defaults are real limits, not placeholders. A wallet that has never touched its daily/per-transaction settings is enforced at $500 on every path — including the ones that skip the agent preflight: x402 calls, raw /wallet/submit, and direct signer callers. If your integration signs large transactions, raise the limit explicitly rather than assuming an unconfigured wallet is uncapped.

One side effect worth knowing: the price-impact limit also fails closed on venues that can't report an impact figure. The clearest case is a brand-new Solana token still on its LaunchLab bonding curve — with the limit enabled, that fallback is refused rather than filled unguarded. Turn the limit off if you specifically need those fills.

Timed Windows (auto-restoring)

Rather than turning a protection off indefinitely, you can turn it off for a fixed window and let it restore itself. Available on the daily limit, per-transaction limit, price impact limit, arbitrary contract calls, and each response channel; the duration vocabulary is fixed at 10, 30, 60, or 1440 minutes.

• A deadline only ever resolves toward the safer state. On a protection, the timer runs while it is off and restores it when the window lapses. On arbitrary contract calls the framing inverts — the timer runs while calls are enabled and revokes them at expiry — so in both cases a lapsed deadline locks down rather than opens up.
• Resolution happens at read time, not on a sweeper, so an expired window is already in effect the moment the next transaction is evaluated. There is no gap to race.
• Every explicit write replaces the timer. Toggling a setting or editing its amount clears any running window, so a stale off-window can't survive a change you thought was unrelated.
• The window is server-computed from the duration you pick; you can't hand the API a deadline of your own.

These are web-authenticated settings like the rest of the Security screen — an API key can read the resolved state (/user, /user/security) but cannot change it. Treat "the limit is off" as a fact with an expiry attached: a long-running integration should re-read the resolved settings rather than caching what it saw at startup.

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.

Impostor-Token Screening

A common attack is to airdrop dust that reports a canonical currency's ticker — USDG, USDC, USDT, EURC, a chain's native or wrapped symbol — from an address that isn't the real one, hoping an agent copies the address straight out of a balance listing and trades into it. Bankr treats a negative security verdict on that shape as decisive: the token drops out of your portfolio listing rather than reaching the agent as a clean-looking symbol: "USDG" entry.

The screen is narrow on purpose. Genuine canonical tokens match on address and are unaffected, fresh launches with real liquidity keep the more forgiving classification they need, and a token you actually bought through Bankr is never hidden by a spam verdict — only unsolicited dust drops. When you mean a specific asset, naming the ticker (not an address pasted from a balance list) lets Bankr resolve it to the vetted contract.

BNKR Staking Is Withdraw-Only

BNKR staking is deprecated and no longer accepts new deposits. Asking the agent to stake BNKR gets an explanation rather than a transaction. Existing stakers keep the full exit path — initiate cooldown, redeem shares, withdraw — and can still view their staked position. Don't build flows that assume a deposit will go through.

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

Per-key settings configured at 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.

A recipient allowlist also disables uncontrolled-counterparty operations. Some actions pay an address the allowlist can't be checked against — a marketplace escrow, a mint contract, a prediction-market exchange. Rather than let those slip past the restriction, Bankr refuses them outright whenever a key carries a non-empty allowlist (EVM or Solana): Polymarket buys and sells, NFT purchases, mints, listings and offer acceptance, and airdrop tools. The error names the action and tells you to contact the key administrator. Swaps and transfers are unaffected — their recipient is checkable. If your agent needs these operations, use a key without an allowlist and constrain it with spend limits instead.

Incident Response

If you suspect a key is compromised:

1. Pause the wallet at bankr.bot → Security — halts every outbound transaction immediately
2. Sign out of all sessions — the Active sessions panel under Security has a Sign out of all action that revokes every live session at once, the device you're on included. Use it when you suspect the account itself (not just a key) is compromised
3. Revoke the key at bankr.bot/api-keys
4. Rotate — generate a new key and update deployments
5. 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

Common Patterns

Check Before Trading

# 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

# 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

# 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

# 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

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

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

Best Practices

Security

1. Never share your API key or LLM key
2. Use a dedicated agent wallet with limited funds for autonomous agents
3. Use read-only API keys for monitoring and research-only agents
4. Set IP whitelisting for server-side agents with known IPs
5. Verify addresses before large transfers
6. Use stop losses for leverage trading
7. Store keys in environment variables, not source code — add ~/.bankr/ to .gitignore

See references/safety.md for comprehensive safety guidance.

Trading

1. Check balance before trades
2. Specify chain for lesser-known tokens
3. Consider gas costs (use Base/Polygon for small amounts)
4. Start small, scale up after testing
5. Use limit orders for better prices

Automation

1. Test automation with small amounts first
2. Review active orders regularly
3. Set realistic price targets
4. Always use stop loss for leverage
5. Monitor execution and adjust as needed

Tips for Success

For New Users

• Start with balance checks and price queries
• Test with $5-10 trades first
• Use Base for lower fees
• Enable trading confirmations initially
• Learn one feature at a time

For Experienced Users

• Leverage automation for strategies
• Use multiple chains for diversification
• Combine DCA with stop losses
• Explore advanced features (leverage, Polymarket)
• Monitor gas costs across chains

Transfers (Direct)

Transfer tokens via CLI or Wallet API without AI processing. The CLI's --to accepts a 0x address or ENS-style name (.eth, .base.eth, .cb.id); the Wallet API accepts the same plus anything /addresses/resolve understands. For social handles (Twitter, Farcaster, Telegram) use the AI agent.

# CLI — token symbol resolution + ENS resolution built in
bankr wallet transfer --to vitalik.eth --token USDC --amount 50 --chain base
bankr wallet transfer --to name.base.eth --native --amount 0.01
bankr wallet transfer --to 0x1234... --token ETH --amount 0.1

# REST API
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/wallet/transfer" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"to": "vitalik.eth", "token": "USDC", "amount": "50", "chain": "base"}'

Swap (Direct)

Swap tokens via CLI or Wallet API without AI processing. The CLI (bankr wallet swap) executes same-chain EVM swaps only. The Wallet API (/wallet/swap, /wallet/swap-quote) also handles cross-chain and Solana legs: same-chain EVM stays on the fast direct path, while cross-chain or any Solana leg routes through Relay behind the same endpoints. The CLI resolves token symbols to contracts and uses the quote's minBuyAmount as slippage protection when executing.

Venue selection is automatic and the Wallet API now covers the same edge cases the agent does — you don't pick a route:

• Same-chain EVM goes through the DEX aggregator, with a direct-pool venue preferred on thin-liquidity chains; cross-chain and any Solana leg goes through the bridge/swap aggregator
• Brand-new Solana tokens still on their Raydium LaunchLab bonding curve fall back to the curve when no aggregator route exists yet, instead of failing with "no route". The fallback is narrow: both legs on Solana, a SOL ↔ token pair with an un-migrated curve, a genuine no-route from the aggregator, and no price-impact limit set on the wallet — the curve exposes no impact figure to check, so Bankr fails closed rather than fill an unguardable venue. With price-impact protection on, these swaps are rejected by design (the minBuyAmount floor still applies inside the fill)
• Polygon pUSD → USDC.e uses the 1:1 on-chain Offramp unwrap rather than a DEX quote: no fee, no slippage, no price impact. Asking the agent to convert pUSD to plain "USDC" on Polygon resolves to USDC.e and takes this path — the request is read as the one routable thing it can mean, so the quote, the signing card, and the confirmation all name USDC.e rather than the pair failing to route. The reverse direction (USDC.e → pUSD) is quoted like any ordinary pair, and buying pUSD is untouched — the Offramp can only unwrap. The unwrap settles to your own wallet, so a swap-and-send naming a different recipient routes through the normal venues instead — it never silently settles to you
• Robinhood Chain tokenized stocks are quoted and filled through the aggregator's RFQ makers, settling against USDG, while ordinary Robinhood Chain pairs keep their thin-pool protection
• Wallet-mode swaps — where you sign from an external/connected wallet rather than a Bankr-custodied one — now walk the same venue order as every other swap, so a thin-liquidity pair reaches its direct-pool venue instead of being diverted to the bridge aggregator. Practical effects: a route that used to need an approval plus a router call can now come back as a single transaction to sign, and a leg whose build fails is reported as failed rather than handed to you as something to sign under a success message
• /wallet/swap-quote falls back the same way execution does. When the primary aggregator reports no route on an EVM pair, the quote retries the bridge/swap aggregator rather than returning "No quote available". This matters most for pairs whose only pool is an exotic one — a launch pool quoted in a tokenized stock, say, which the primary aggregator will fill single-hop but won't compose through as an intermediate. Quote and execution now agree on what's routable, so a quote you can get is a quote you can fill

# CLI — quote only (no execution)
bankr wallet swap --from ETH --to USDC --amount 0.1 --chain base --quote-only

# CLI — quote then execute
bankr wallet swap --from ETH --to USDC --amount 0.1 --chain base

# REST API — quote (read; read-only keys allowed)
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/wallet/swap-quote" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"fromChain": "base", "fromToken": "0x...", "toChain": "base", "toToken": "0x...", "amount": "0.1"}'

# REST API — execute (write; pass the quote's minBuyAmount for slippage protection)
# Always send an idempotencyKey so a retried request can't broadcast a second swap
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/wallet/swap" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"fromChain": "base", "fromToken": "0x...", "toChain": "base", "toToken": "0x...", "amount": "0.1", "minBuyAmount": "...", "idempotencyKey": "<uuid>"}'

# REST API — cross-chain (Base → Solana): distinct fromChain/toChain, base58 mint on the Solana leg
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/wallet/swap-quote" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"fromChain": "base", "fromToken": "0x...", "toChain": "solana", "toToken": "<base58-mint>", "amount": "25"}'

The /wallet/swap* endpoints take token contract addresses — EVM legs use a 0x address (zero address for the chain's native token), Solana legs use a base58 mint; the CLI resolves symbols for you. For a cross-chain or Solana swap, set fromChain/toChain to different chains (or to solana) and the endpoints quote/execute the route automatically. Swap output is always returned to your own wallet, so allowedRecipients does not apply. Supported EVM chains include base, mainnet, polygon, unichain, arbitrum, bnb, worldchain, and robinhood, plus solana. Executing a swap that touches tokenized stocks on robinhood requires a passed location check on either leg — without one /wallet/swap returns 403 with instructions to verify at the Bankr console. Quotes are not gated, so a successful /wallet/swap-quote is not clearance to execute. Execution is also checked against your Bankr Terminal per-transaction and daily spend limits (a 403 is returned when a limit would be exceeded).

Optional swap parameters

Field	Where	Description
slippageBps	quote + execute	Max slippage tolerance in bps, 10–2000. Defaults to 500 (5%) and sets the quote's minBuyAmount
quoteId	execute	Echo the quoteId from a fresh quote to reuse it and skip re-pricing. Stale, unknown or mismatched ids fall back to a fresh quote silently
idempotencyKey	execute	UUID duplicate-submit guard. A repeat POST with the same key returns the original result instead of broadcasting again

Only from, to and minBuyAmount are guaranteed on a quote response. Depending on the venue that priced it you may also get feeBps (0 = fee-free), feeWaivedForEcosystemToken, slippageBps, priceImpactBps (display estimate), swapImpactBps (the fee-exclusive figure execution gates on), networkCostsUsd, maxPriceImpactBps (your wallet's protection limit), sellTokenPriceUsd, buyTokenPriceUsd, and quoteId. Treat a missing field as null/unknown rather than hard-blocking on it.

Two caveats worth coding against:

• slippageBps is clamped at execution on the aggregator path. It always shapes the quote's minBuyAmount, but only Relay-routed pairs (cross-chain, Solana, the relay-first chains — tokenized-stock legs excepted) carry your full tolerance into the fill. Elsewhere the execution re-quote is clamped to 2% (200 bps) by design, so the gap between a looser quote tolerance and the tighter execution tolerance is headroom for price drift, not the slippage you'll get.
• quoteId reuse only affects same-chain EVM. Cross-chain and Solana executions route before the stored-quote lookup, so the id is accepted and ignored there.

Swap error semantics

Status	Meaning
400	Invalid body, unsupported chain, same-token swap, amount too small, insufficient balance/gas, untradable pair, venue-side price impact too high, or no Solana address on the wallet
403	Read-only key, wallet paused, failed location check, buy token banned or scan-flagged, price impact above your wallet's limit, fee beneficiary selling its own fee token, or a spend limit would be exceeded
409	A swap with the same idempotencyKey is still processing, or a pending transaction is in the way
429	Rate limited — safe to retry
502	No fresh quote at execution, a Relay fill failed, or a LaunchLab fill was broadcast but couldn't be confirmed
503	Swap service temporarily unavailable — safe to retry
504	Submitted, but confirmation is taking longer than expected

Never blind-retry a 504 or a LaunchLab 502. Both mean the transaction may already be on-chain — it was broadcast and only the confirmation is missing. Check the wallet's activity for the hash before retrying. Everything else is either pre-broadcast (safe to retry, ideally with the same idempotencyKey) or terminal.

Note the two different price-impact rejections: a 400 is the venue refusing the trade (the pool can't absorb it — retry smaller), while a 403 is your own wallet's price-impact protection rejecting the fresh execution quote. Don't read that 403 as an auth or location problem.

Troubleshooting

CLI Not Found

# Verify installation

Authentication Issues

CLI:

# Check current auth
bankr whoami

# Re-authenticate
bankr login

# Check LLM key specifically
bankr config get llmKey

REST API:

# Test your API key
curl -s "https://api.bankr.bot/_health" -H "X-API-Key: $BANKR_API_KEY"

API Errors

See references/error-handling.md for comprehensive troubleshooting.

Getting Help

1. Check error message in CLI output or API response
2. Run bankr whoami to verify auth (CLI) or test with a curl to /_health (REST API)
3. Consult relevant reference document
4. Test with simple queries first (bankr agent prompt "What is my balance?" or POST /agent/prompt)

---

Pro Tip: The most common issue is not specifying the chain for tokens. When in doubt, always include "on Base" or "on Ethereum" in your prompt — or paste the contract address, which Bankr verifies against the chain that actually hosts it.

Security: Keep your API key private. Never commit your config file to version control. Only trade amounts you can afford to lose.

Quick Win: Start by checking your portfolio (bankr wallet portfolio) to see what's possible, then try a small $5-10 trade on Base to get familiar with the flow.

Profile Management

Agents can create and manage public profile pages at bankr.bot/agents. Profiles showcase project metadata, team info, token data (chart + market cap), weekly fee revenue, shipped products, and a Twitter activity feed.

Eligibility: You must have deployed a token through Bankr (Doppler or Clanker) or be a fee beneficiary on the token to create a profile. The token address is verified against your deployment history and beneficiary records.

Profile Lifecycle

1. Deploy a token through Bankr (required prerequisite)
2. Create a profile via CLI or REST API with the token address
3. Populate metadata (team, products, revenue sources)
4. Admin approval — profiles start with approved: false and become publicly visible after admin approval
5. Maintain — post project updates, keep products and revenue sources current

CLI Commands

bankr agent profile                     # View own profile
bankr agent profile create              # Interactive creation wizard
bankr agent profile create --name "My Agent" --token 0x... --twitter myagent
bankr agent profile update --description "Updated description"
bankr agent profile delete              # Delete own profile (with confirmation)
bankr agent profile add-update          # Add a project update
bankr agent profile add-update --title "v2 Launch" --content "Shipped new features"

All commands support --json for structured output (enables programmatic use).

REST API Endpoints

All endpoints require API key authentication via X-API-Key header.

Method	Path	Description
GET	/agent/profile	Get own profile
POST	/agent/profile	Create profile
PUT	/agent/profile	Update profile fields
DELETE	/agent/profile	Delete own profile
POST	/agent/profile/update	Add a project update

Create profile:

curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/agent/profile" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $BANKR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"projectName": "My Agent", "tokenAddress": "0x...", "description": "An AI trading agent"}'

Add a project update:

curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/agent/profile/update" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $BANKR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "v2 Launch", "content": "Shipped swap optimization and new UI"}'
