Wallet & DeFi

Noelclaw includes a built-in crypto wallet and DeFi execution layer, tightly integrated with the agent system.


Wallet Setup

Every registered user gets an embedded wallet automatically:

  • Chain: Base mainnet

  • Key storage: Private key encrypted and stored securely on the server

  • Wallet address: Visible in the Wallet page and Profile

Users can also connect external wallets via Privy (WalletConnect, MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet).

USDC Balance & AI Model Access

AI model access is pay-per-use via USDC on Base. Your custodial wallet is created automatically on signup - no separate setup needed.

Check balance:

  • Balance is shown in the Models page header as a live USDC amount

  • Balance is read directly from Base mainnet (updates every 30 seconds)

Deposit USDC:

  1. Go to Models → click Deposit

  2. Copy your wallet address

  3. Send USDC on the Base network from any exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, etc.)

  4. Balance updates automatically within ~30 seconds of on-chain confirmation

Send only on Base (L2), not Ethereum mainnet. Gas fees are <$0.01 on Base.

How billing works:

  • Each AI model call deducts a small amount of USDC based on tokens used

  • If your balance runs low mid-request, the system auto-retries the payment (x402 protocol) without interrupting your workflow

  • No prepaid bundles or credits - pure pay-as-you-go


MCP Wallets (Agent / CLI Users)

Users accessing Noel through MCP clients (Hermes, Claude, Cursor) get a full DeFi wallet on Base mainnet, managed entirely through MCP tools.

Wallets are created with ethers.js and stored locally at ~/.noelclaw/wallet.json. The private key never leaves your machine - Noelclaw's backend only receives routing calldata (0x), not your key. Non-custodial by design.

Check your balance

Returns all Base mainnet token balances.

Swap tokens

Routes through 0x Permit2 on Base mainnet. Signed locally with slippage capped at 1% and price-impact guard at 3%. Amount is human-readable - no wei conversion needed.

Send tokens

Supports ETH, USDC, USDT, DAI, and WETH on Base. Also accepts ENS names.

Security

  • Private key lives at ~/.noelclaw/wallet.json - local only, never transmitted

  • All transactions are signed client-side before broadcast

  • The Noelclaw backend provides routing (0x calldata) but never holds or sees your private key

  • Non-custodial - you own your funds


Telegram Trading

Users can link their Telegram account to their Noelclaw wallet and execute trades directly from Telegram messages.

Link flow:

  1. User generates link code in Profile → Telegram Connect

  2. Sends /connect <code> to the bot

  3. Bot calls POST /telegram/connect with the code

  4. Wallet linked to Telegram ID

Telegram bot:

  • Reads trades from Telegram, posts to Noelclaw backend

  • Stored in trades table with source: "telegram"
