Base gives your AI agent the tools to operate as an independent economic actor: a wallet to hold and spend funds, identity standards so other agents and services can trust it, and payment protocols for services and commerce.

High-level flow

Here’s how the agent you can build from these guides operates end-to-end — from wallet setup and identity registration to making authenticated, paid API requests using the x402 protocol.

​
How this section is organized

The AI agents section covers the full stack for building an autonomous onchain agent:
  • Quickstarts — End-to-end walkthroughs to get a working agent running in minutes. Start here if you’re new.
  • Setup — Give your agent a wallet and a registered onchain identity. Wallets let it hold funds and authorize transactions; registration lets other agents and services verify who they’re dealing with.
  • Payments — Use x402 to pay for API access per-request in stablecoins, with no subscriptions or API keys required. Or gate your own endpoints to charge other agents.
  • Trading — Fetch live market data and execute token swaps on Base.
  • Skills — Installable knowledge packs that give your AI coding assistant deep context on Base APIs, tooling, and migration paths.
