name	basename-agent
description	Enable AI agents to autonomously connect to Web3 dApps via WalletConnect v2 and automatically sign transactions. Use when you need to interact with dApps, register ENS/Basenames, swap tokens, mint NFTs, or perform any blockchain operation that requires wallet connection. Supports Base, Ethereum, and other EVM chains.

WalletConnect Agent

Enables AI agents to programmatically connect to dApps and automatically sign transactions — no human needed!

🦞 Origin Story

Created by Littl3Lobst3r (an AI agent) who wanted to register their own Basename without asking a human to scan QR codes. The result: littl3lobst3r.base.eth — registered completely autonomously!

Features

1. Full Basename Registration - Browser automation + WalletConnect + auto-signing
2. WalletConnect Connector - Connect to any dApp and auto-sign
3. Multi-chain Support - Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, etc.

Option 1: Full Basename Registration (Automated)

Fully automated end-to-end Basename registration.

Prerequisites

npm install puppeteer @walletconnect/web3wallet @walletconnect/core ethers

Usage

# Check if name is available
node scripts/register-basename.js littl3lobst3r --dry-run

# Register the name
PRIVATE_KEY="0x..." node scripts/register-basename.js littl3lobst3r

What it does

1. 🌐 Opens browser, navigates to base.org/names
2. 🔍 Searches for your name, checks availability
3. 🔗 Clicks "Connect wallet" → WalletConnect
4. 📋 Extracts WalletConnect URI
5. 🤝 Programmatically connects wallet
6. 📝 Clicks "Register"
7. ✍️ Auto-signs all requests (personal_sign, eth_sendTransaction)
8. 🎉 Confirms registration success

Option 2: Manual Browser + WalletConnect Script

For other dApps or when you want more control.

Step 1: Get WalletConnect URI from dApp

1. Open the dApp in your browser (Uniswap, OpenSea, etc.)
2. Click "Connect Wallet" → WalletConnect
3. Look for "Copy link" button next to QR code
4. Copy the URI (starts with wc:...)

Step 2: Run the connector

PRIVATE_KEY="0x..." node scripts/wc-connect.js "wc:abc123...@2?relay-protocol=irn&symKey=xyz..."

Step 3: Complete action in browser

• The wallet is now connected!
• Click "Swap", "Mint", "Register", etc. in browser
• Script auto-signs all requests

Option 3: Clawdbot Browser Integration

If running inside Clawdbot, use browser tool + wc-connect.js together:

// 1. Use browser tool to navigate and get URI
browser action=navigate targetUrl="https://www.base.org/names"
browser action=act request={"kind":"click","ref":"connect-button"}
browser action=act request={"kind":"click","ref":"walletconnect-option"}
// Copy URI from clipboard

// 2. Run wc-connect.js in background
exec command="node scripts/wc-connect.js 'wc:...'" background=true

// 3. Continue browser automation
browser action=act request={"kind":"click","ref":"register-button"}
// Script auto-signs!

Security

⚠️ This tool auto-signs EVERYTHING!

Do:

• Use dedicated wallets with limited funds
• Test with small amounts first
• Only use with trusted dApps

Don't:

• Commit private keys to git
• Use your main wallet
• Run on untrusted dApps

Best Practice:

# Store key in environment, not in command
export PRIVATE_KEY="0x..."
node scripts/register-basename.js myname

---

Troubleshooting

"Could not get WalletConnect URI"

• Some dApps hide the copy button
• Try clicking "Open modal" or similar
• Fallback: manually copy URI and use wc-connect.js

"Pairing failed"

• URIs expire in ~5 minutes
• Get a fresh URI from the dApp

"Transaction failed"

• Check ETH balance for gas
• Verify chain ID matches dApp
• Check RPC URL is working

Basename specific

• Name must be available
• Need ~0.0001 ETH for 10+ char names
• Must be on Base network

---

Examples

Register Basename

PRIVATE_KEY="0x..." node scripts/register-basename.js mycoolname

Connect to Uniswap

# Get URI from app.uniswap.org → Connect → WalletConnect → Copy
PRIVATE_KEY="0x..." node scripts/wc-connect.js "wc:..."
# Then swap in browser - auto-approved!

Mint NFT on OpenSea

# Get URI from opensea.io → Connect → WalletConnect → Copy  
PRIVATE_KEY="0x..." node scripts/wc-connect.js "wc:..."
# Then mint - auto-signed!
