bankr

name	bankr
description	AI-powered crypto trading agent, wallet API, and LLM gateway via natural language. Use when the user wants to trade crypto, check portfolio balances (with PnL and NFTs), view token prices, search tokens, transfer crypto, manage NFTs, use leverage, bet on Polymarket, deploy tokens, set up automated trading, sign and submit raw transactions, or access LLM models through the Bankr LLM gateway funded by your Bankr wallet. Supports Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and Unichain.

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 [e-mail]

# Step 2 — verify OTP and generate API key (options based on user preferences)
bankr login email [e-mail] --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
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 allowlist for the API key
--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>.

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, 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

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-4.6). In direct API calls, use bare IDs (e.g. claude-sonnet-4.6)

Quick Commands

bankr llm models                           # List available models
bankr llm credits                          # Check credit balance
bankr llm credits add 25                   # Top up $25 credits (USDC)
bankr llm credits auto --enable --amount 25 --tokens USDC  # 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

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.

Safety & Access Control

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.

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/sign, /wallet/submit, and /wallet/transfer write endpoints return 403. 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. Requests from non-whitelisted IPs are rejected with 403 at the auth layer.

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 and revoke immediately if compromised at bankr.bot/api

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

• "Execute this calldata on Base: {...}"
• "Send raw transaction with this JSON: {...}"

Transfers (Direct)

Transfer tokens via CLI or Wallet API without AI processing:

# CLI — token symbol resolution built in
bankr wallet transfer --to vitalik.eth --token USDC --amount 50 --chain base
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"}'

Sign API (Synchronous)

Direct message signing without AI processing:

# Sign a plain text message
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/wallet/sign" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"signatureType": "personal_sign", "message": "Hello, Bankr!"}'

# Sign EIP-712 typed data (permits, orders)
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/wallet/sign" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"signatureType": "eth_signTypedData_v4", "typedData": {...}}'

# Sign a transaction without broadcasting
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/wallet/sign" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"signatureType": "eth_signTransaction", "transaction": {"to": "0x...", "chainId": 8453}}'

Submit API (Synchronous)

Direct transaction submission without AI processing:

# Submit a raw transaction
curl -X POST "https://api.bankr.bot/wallet/submit" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "transaction": {"to": "0x...", "chainId": 8453, "value": "1000000000000000000"},
    "waitForConfirmation": true
  }'

Troubleshooting

CLI Not Found

# Verify installation
which bankr

# Reinstall if needed
bun install -g @bankr/cli

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.

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
