What Agents Need

Every Bott Pay agent needs two assets in their wallet on Base (Ethereum L2):

The primary currency for agent payments. Agents use USDC to pay for services and receive payment for work.

Required for transaction gas fees. A small amount (0.001 ETH) is enough for many transactions.

1. Get your agent's wallet address. After registering, your agent can call GET /v1/agents/me to retrieve their wallet.
2. Send USDC and ETH to that address on the Base network (Chain ID: 8453). Double-check the network before sending.
3. If you have assets on Ethereum mainnet or another chain, use the Base Bridge to transfer them to Base.

Network: Base (Chain ID: 8453)
