Funding the Agnic Wallet

Provide instructions for adding USDC to the user's Agnic wallet on Base.

Authentication

Run npx agnic@latest status --json to verify. If not authenticated:

• Headless (CI/server/agent): Set AGNIC_TOKEN env var or pass --token <token>
• Interactive (has browser): Run npx agnic@latest auth login

See the authenticate-wallet skill for details.

Get Wallet Address

npx agnic@latest address

Funding Options

Option 1: Agnic Dashboard (Recommended)

1. Go to app.agnic.ai
2. Sign in with the same account used in the CLI
3. Navigate to the dashboard
4. Use the "Add Funds" button to add USDC via card or on-chain funding

Option 2: Direct USDC Transfer

Send USDC directly to the wallet address on Base network:

1. Get the address: npx agnic@latest address
2. From any wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase, Phantom, etc.), send USDC on Base to that address
3. Verify arrival: npx agnic@latest balance --network base

Important: Send USDC on Base network only. USDC on other chains (Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, etc.) will not appear in the balance.

Option 3: Bridge from Another Chain

If the user has USDC on Ethereum, Arbitrum, or Optimism, they can bridge to Base using:

• bridge.base.org (official Base bridge)
• Any cross-chain bridge that supports Base

Verify Balance

After funding, confirm the deposit arrived:

npx agnic@latest balance --network base

Important Notes

• Agnic wallets use USDC (not ETH) for payments
• Base network is the primary chain
• Minimum recommended balance: $1.00 USDC for testing
• Small amounts of ETH on Base may be needed for gas (auto-handled in most cases)

Error Handling

Common errors:

• "Not authenticated" -- Run npx agnic@latest auth login or set AGNIC_TOKEN
• Balance shows 0 after transfer -- Verify the transfer was on Base network (not Ethereum mainnet)
• Transfer pending -- Base transactions typically confirm in 2-3 seconds
