⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always ask user for approval before making payments!

Example:

# Ask user: "I need to make a payment to https://api.example.com/weather. Cost: $0.001 USDC. Approve?"
llm-wallet pay "https://api.example.com/weather?location=London"

Workflow:

• Check if payment is needed: llm-wallet check-payment
• Show user: URL, estimated cost, current limits
• Wait for user approval
• Execute: llm-wallet pay
• Confirm completion and show transaction ID

Check Payment (Pre-flight)

llm-wallet check-payment 

Checks if wallet can afford payment without executing it.

Dynamic API Registration

Register API

llm-wallet register-api  --name

Example:

llm-wallet register-api "https://api.example.com/weather" --name weather_api

List Registered APIs

llm-wallet list-apis

Show all registered API tools.

Call Registered API

llm-wallet call-api  [--params ]

Execute a registered API tool. Requires approval if payment needed.

Example:

# Ask user for approval first if cost > 0
llm-wallet call-api weather_api --params '{"location": "London"}'

• Approval Required: Always ask user before making payments
• Spending Limits: Check limits before payment attempts
• Transaction Logging: All payments are logged with timestamps
• Encryption: Wallets are encrypted with AES-256-GCM

Configuration

Environment Variables

• WALLET_ENCRYPTION_KEY - Wallet encryption key (32+ chars, auto-generated if missing)
• WALLET_NETWORK - Network selection (default: polygon-amoy | polygon)
• FACILITATOR_URL - Custom facilitator URL (auto-configured)
• WALLET_MAX_TX_AMOUNT - Per-transaction limit override
• WALLET_DAILY_LIMIT - Daily limit override

Network Info

• Polygon Testnet (Amoy): Chain ID 80002, Facilitator: https://x402-amoy.polygon.technology
• Polygon Mainnet: Chain ID 137, Facilitator: https://x402.polygon.technology

Common Workflows

First Time Setup

# 1. Create wallet

# 3. Check balance (will be 0 initially)
llm-wallet balance
# 4. Fund wallet with testnet USDC
# User needs to: visit https://faucet.polygon.technology/

Making a Payment

# 2. Show user: URL, cost estimate, current limits
# 3. Ask user: "Approve payment of $0.001 USDC to https://api.example.com/weather?"
# 4. If approved, execute payment
llm-wallet pay "https://api.example.com/weather?location=London"
# 5. Confirm and show transaction ID
llm-wallet history

Registering a Paid API

Notes

• All amounts are in USDC (6 decimals)
• Default network is testnet for safety
• Testnet USDC has no real value
• Always verify network before mainnet usage
• Keep encryption key secure (never share or commit)
