description	Coinbase AgentKit - Toolkit for enabling AI agents with crypto wallets and onchain capabilities. Use for building autonomous agents that can execute transfers, swaps, DeFi operations, NFT minting, smart contract deployment, and gasless transactions via Smart Wallets.

Coinbase AgentKit Skill

AgentKit is Coinbase Developer Platform's toolkit that enables AI agents to interact with blockchain networks through secure wallet management and comprehensive onchain capabilities. Built on the Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) SDK, it provides everything needed to create autonomous agents that can perform sophisticated blockchain operations.

Core Mission: "Every AI agent deserves a wallet."

  compoundActionProvider,
  walletActionProvider,
  x402ActionProvider,
  superfluidActionProvider,

Smart Wallets & Gasless Transactions

Smart Wallets are ERC-4337 compliant smart contract wallets providing:

• Gasless transactions - No ETH required for gas fees
• Batch operations - Multiple actions in one transaction
• Account recovery - Secure recovery mechanisms
• Sponsored transactions - Via paymaster integration

Note: Smart Wallets are currently only supported on Base networks (base-sepolia, base-mainnet).

import { CdpSmartWalletProvider } from "@coinbase/agentkit";

// Configure Smart Wallet with gasless transactions
const smartWalletProvider = await CdpSmartWalletProvider.configureWithWallet({
  networkId: "base-mainnet",
  // Enable gasless via paymaster
  paymasterUrl: "https://your-paymaster.example.com",
});

// Create AgentKit with smart wallet
const agentKit = await AgentKit.from({
  walletProvider: smartWalletProvider,
  actionProviders: [walletActionProvider, erc20ActionProvider],
});

// Agent can now transact without holding ETH for gas

# Get OpenAI tools
tools = get_openai_tools(agent_kit)

# Create agent
agent = Agent(
    name="Crypto Agent",
    instructions="You are an AI agent with a crypto wallet. Help users with onchain operations.",

Common Patterns

Persisting Wallet Data

// Export wallet data for persistence
const walletData = await walletProvider.exportWallet();
// Store walletData securely (encrypted in database, etc.)

// Restore wallet from data
const restoredProvider = await CdpWalletProvider.configureWithWallet({
  networkId: "base-sepolia",
  cdpWalletData: walletData,
});

Creating Custom Action Providers

import { ActionProvider, CreateAction, ActionMetadata } from "@coinbase/agentkit";
import { z } from "zod";

class MyActionProvider extends ActionProvider {
  @CreateAction({
    name: "my_custom_action",
    description: "Does something custom",
    schema: z.object({
      param: z.string().describe("A parameter"),
    }),
  })
  async myCustomAction(params: { param: string }): Promise<string> {
    // Implementation
    return `Processed: ${params.param}`;
  }
}

// Register custom provider
const agentKit = await AgentKit.from({
  walletProvider,
  actionProviders: [new MyActionProvider()],
});

Python Custom Action Provider

from coinbase_agentkit import ActionProvider, create_action
from pydantic import BaseModel

class MyParams(BaseModel):
    param: str

class MyActionProvider(ActionProvider):
    @create_action(
        name="my_custom_action",
        description="Does something custom",
        schema=MyParams,
    )
    async def my_custom_action(self, params: MyParams) -> str:
        return f"Processed: {params.param}"

Multi-Chain Agent

// EVM wallet for Base
const evmProvider = await CdpWalletProvider.configureWithWallet({
  networkId: "base-sepolia",
});

// Solana wallet
const solanaProvider = await CdpV2SolanaWalletProvider.configureWithWallet({
  networkId: "solana-devnet",
});

// Create agents for each chain
const evmAgentKit = await AgentKit.from({ walletProvider: evmProvider });
const solanaAgentKit = await AgentKit.from({ walletProvider: solanaProvider });

x402 Payment Integration

import { AgentKit, CdpWalletProvider, x402ActionProvider } from "@coinbase/agentkit";

const agentKit = await AgentKit.from({
  walletProvider,
  actionProviders: [x402ActionProvider],
});

// Agent can now make x402 payments for paid APIs

Idempotent Wallet Creation

// Create deterministic wallet using idempotency key
const walletProvider = await CdpWalletProvider.configureWithWallet({
  networkId: "base-sepolia",
  idempotencyKey: "user-123-wallet",  // Same key always returns same wallet
});

CLI Tools

TypeScript CLI

npm install -g @coinbase/agentkit

# Generate components
agentkit generate wallet-provider    # Custom wallet provider
agentkit generate action-provider    # Custom action provider
agentkit generate prepare            # Framework-agnostic setup
agentkit generate create-agent       # Framework-specific agent

Python CLI

Security Considerations

• Wallet Isolation: Each agent should have its own dedicated wallet
• Fund Limits: Only fund agent wallets with amounts needed for operations
• Key Management: Store CDP API keys and wallet data securely
• Network Selection: Use testnets (base-sepolia, solana-devnet) for development
• Action Auditing: Log all agent actions for review
• Smart Wallet Benefits: Use Smart Wallets for enhanced security features

Important Disclaimer: "Acts proposed or performed by an agent through AgentKit software are NOT acts of Coinbase." Use at your own risk. The software is novel and experimental, provided on an AS-IS basis.
