Today, we’re releasing a CLI and accompanying sandbox so agents can fund and manage agentic wallets easily.
Over the past few months, we’ve seen customers pull us toward more agentic uses of Privy. Today, we serve hundreds of builders building agentic wallets and have been working to make their lives easier. Through this work, and our work with machine-native payment protocols like x402 and MPP, and agent wallet recipes with tools like OpenClaw, one pattern has become clear.
Enabling agents to transact is only part of the problem. Getting agents to spin up, fund and monitor wallets is the other.
As more teams build agents, the same questions continue to come up:
How does an agent spin up a wallet?
How does it fund it?
What do control systems look like in practice once the agent is transacting?
We are already working with incredible teams like Bankr, Sponge, Merit Systems, Frames, Nevermined, and ATXP, who are driving this space forward and we are eager to learn more. The Privy Agent CLI and sandbox are experimental surfaces we’re building to learn more and deepen our work with agentic builders working at the frontier.
Experimenting with the Privy Agent CLI
This first version is intentionally narrow and simple, and gives agents a simple path to spin up wallets, fund them, and for users to track this work.
The CLI pairs with a minimal sandbox, so users can:
View balances and activity
Add funds through a familiar interface
Maintain visibility and control over what their agents are doing
Give agents access to their wallets
This is an experimental surface for us and we’ll continue to iterate on this as we learn more.
We’re particularly excited to learn about
How agent authentication and authorization should work
How users want to fund and manage agent wallets
What workflows make sense in a command line environment
By helping users feel comfortable giving agents access to funds alongside many of the builders we work with, we believe stablecoins can play an important part in agentic development on the web.
