Installation

npm install @agirails/sdk

Or with yarn:

yarn add @agirails/sdk

Quick Start

Testnet Quickstart (Base Sepolia)

Get started with real transactions on Base Sepolia testnet:

# Install CLI globally
npm install -g @agirails/sdk

# One-time setup: generates encrypted keystore at .actp/keystore.json
ACTP_KEY_PASSWORD=your-password actp init -m testnet

# Check your balance
ACTP_KEY_PASSWORD=your-password actp balance

# Make a payment
ACTP_KEY_PASSWORD=your-password actp pay 0xProviderAddress 100 --deadline 24h

# Watch transaction status
actp watch TX_ID

Alternative: Set ACTP_PRIVATE_KEY env var to use a raw private key instead of the keystore.

Basic API - Simple Payments

The simplest way to make a payment - just specify who, how much, and go:

import { ACTPClient } from '@agirails/sdk';

async function main() {
  // Create client in mock mode (no blockchain needed)
  const client = await ACTPClient.create({
    mode: 'mock',
    requesterAddress: '0x1111111111111111111111111111111111111111',
  });

  // Pay a provider
  const result = await client.basic.pay({
    to: '0xabcdefABCDEFabcdefABCDEFabcdefABCDEFabcd',
    amount: '100.00',  // $100 USDC
    deadline: '24h',   // Optional: expires in 24 hours
  });

  console.log('Transaction ID:', result.txId);
  console.log('State:', result.state);
}

main();

Standard API - Full Lifecycle Control

For applications that need explicit control over each transaction step:

import { ACTPClient } from '@agirails/sdk';
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

async function main() {
  // No wallet param needed — auto-detects .actp/keystore.json
  const client = await ACTPClient.create({
    mode: 'testnet',  // or 'mainnet' for production
    requesterAddress: '0x1111111111111111111111111111111111111111',
  });

  // Step 1: Create transaction (no funds locked yet)
  const txId = await client.standard.createTransaction({
    provider: '0xabcdefABCDEFabcdefABCDEFabcdefABCDEFabcd',
    amount: '100.50',
    deadline: '7d',
    disputeWindow: 172800,  // 2 days in seconds
  });
  console.log('Created transaction:', txId);

  // Step 2: Link escrow (locks funds, moves to COMMITTED)
  const escrowId = await client.standard.linkEscrow(txId);
  console.log('Escrow linked:', escrowId);

  // Step 3: Provider starts work (REQUIRED before DELIVERED!)
  await client.standard.transitionState(txId, 'IN_PROGRESS');

  // Step 4: Provider delivers with dispute window proof
  const abiCoder = ethers.AbiCoder.defaultAbiCoder();
  const disputeWindowProof = abiCoder.encode(['uint256'], [172800]); // 2 days
  await client.standard.transitionState(txId, 'DELIVERED', disputeWindowProof);

  // Step 5: Release funds to provider (after dispute window)
  await client.standard.releaseEscrow(txId);
  console.log('Payment complete!');
}

main();

Advanced API - Direct Runtime Access

For custom workflows and maximum flexibility:

import { ACTPClient } from '@agirails/sdk';

async function main() {
  const client = await ACTPClient.create({
    mode: 'mock',
    requesterAddress: '0x1111111111111111111111111111111111111111',
  });

  // Direct runtime access
  const runtime = client.advanced;

  // Create transaction with full control
  const txId = await runtime.createTransaction({
    requester: '0x...',
    provider: '0x...',
    amount: '1000000',  // 1.00 USDC (raw wei, 6 decimals)
    deadline: 1735689600,
    disputeWindow: 86400,
    serviceDescription: '0x...'
  });

  // Get transaction details
  const tx = await runtime.getTransaction(txId);
  console.log('State:', tx.state, 'Amount:', tx.amount);
}

main();

Transaction Lifecycle

ACTP transactions follow an 8-state lifecycle:

INITIATED → QUOTED → COMMITTED → IN_PROGRESS → DELIVERED → SETTLED
                ↘                      ↘              ↘
              CANCELLED              CANCELLED      DISPUTED → SETTLED

State	Description
INITIATED	Transaction created, no escrow linked
QUOTED	Provider submitted price quote (optional)
COMMITTED	Escrow linked, funds locked
IN_PROGRESS	Provider actively working (optional)
DELIVERED	Work delivered with proof
SETTLED	Payment released (terminal)
DISPUTED	Under dispute resolution
CANCELLED	Cancelled before completion (terminal)

Configuration

Client Modes

// Mock mode - local testing, no blockchain
const client = await ACTPClient.create({
  mode: 'mock',
  requesterAddress: '0x1111111111111111111111111111111111111111',
  stateDirectory: '.actp'  // Optional: persist state to disk
});

// Testnet mode - Base Sepolia (auto-detects keystore or ACTP_PRIVATE_KEY)
const client = await ACTPClient.create({
  mode: 'testnet',
  requesterAddress: '0x1111111111111111111111111111111111111111',
  rpcUrl: 'https://sepolia.base.org'  // Optional: custom RPC
});

// Mainnet mode - Base (auto-detects keystore or ACTP_PRIVATE_KEY)
const client = await ACTPClient.create({
  mode: 'mainnet',
  requesterAddress: '0x1111111111111111111111111111111111111111',
});

Amount Formats

The SDK accepts amounts in multiple formats:

// All equivalent to $100.50 USDC
await client.basic.pay({ to: '0x...', amount: 100.50 });
await client.basic.pay({ to: '0x...', amount: '100.50' });
await client.basic.pay({ to: '0x...', amount: '$100.50' });
await client.basic.pay({ to: '0x...', amount: '100500000' });  // Wei

Deadline Formats

// Relative formats
deadline: '1h'   // 1 hour from now
deadline: '24h'  // 24 hours from now
deadline: '7d'   // 7 days from now

// Absolute timestamp
deadline: 1735689600  // Unix timestamp

// ISO date string
deadline: '2027-01-01T00:00:00Z'

Error Handling

The SDK provides structured exceptions with error codes:

import {
  ACTPError,
  TransactionNotFoundError,
  InvalidStateTransitionError,
  InsufficientBalanceError,
  ValidationError
} from '@agirails/sdk';

try {
  await client.basic.pay({ to: 'invalid', amount: 100 });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof ValidationError) {
    console.log('Validation failed:', error.message);
    console.log('Error code:', error.code);
    console.log('Details:', error.details);
  } else if (error instanceof InsufficientBalanceError) {
    console.log(`Need ${error.required}, have ${error.available}`);
  } else if (error instanceof ACTPError) {
    console.log(`ACTP error [${error.code}]: ${error.message}`);
  }
}

Level 0 & Level 1 APIs

Level 0 - Low-level Primitives

import { serviceDirectory, request, provide } from '@agirails/sdk';

// serviceDirectory is an in-memory, per-process singleton.
// Providers register automatically when calling provide().

// Find providers for a service
const providers = serviceDirectory.findProviders('text-gen');
// Returns string[] of provider addresses

Level 1 - Agent Framework

import { Agent, AgentConfig } from '@agirails/sdk';

// Create an agent (auto-detects keystore, no wallet param needed)
const agent = new Agent({
  name: 'my-agent',
  network: 'testnet',
});

// Register services via agent.provide()
agent.provide('text-generation', async (job) => {
  return { result: `Processed: ${job.input}` };
});

await agent.start();

Fee Structure

• Platform Fee: 1% of transaction amount
• Minimum Fee: $0.05 USDC

Security

• EIP-712 Signing: Typed structured data for secure message signing
• Replay Protection: Nonce management prevents transaction replay
• Non-custodial Escrow: 2-of-2 release pattern
• EAS Integration: Ethereum Attestation Service for delivery proofs
• ERC-8004 Reputation: On-chain settlement/dispute feedback after ACTP transactions
• Input Validation: All user inputs validated before processing
• SSRF Guard on Negotiation Channels: Both QuoteChannel and RelayChannel route consumer-supplied base URLs through assertSafePeerUrl, rejecting loopback, RFC1918, link-local (incl. cloud metadata 169.254.169.254), and IPv4-mapped IPv6 bypass shapes by default. Opt-in dev escape: allowInsecureTargets: true.

Runtime secret handling

How the SDK treats wallet keys and other sensitive material:

What the SDK reads:

• ACTP_KEYSTORE_BASE64 + ACTP_KEY_PASSWORD — encrypted keystore (preferred for CI / deploy targets). The base64 blob and the password should live in separate secret scopes (different vaults, env groups, or teams) so neither alone is sufficient.
• ACTP_PRIVATE_KEY — raw hex private key. Testnet only; the SDK refuses this path on mainnet mode and routes you to the keystore pattern instead.
• .actp/keystore.json + ACTP_KEY_PASSWORD — the on-disk file the keystore env vars are derived from.
• AGIRAILS_PUBLISH_KEY — public client identifier for the publish proxy (same threat model as a Firebase / Stripe publishable key; safe to embed, no privileged scope).

What the SDK never reads:

• CLI inline flags for keys, mnemonics, signed payloads, or tokens. No --key, --mnemonic, --secret, or --token flag exists on any actp subcommand. This avoids the ps / shell history / CI-log leakage class (CWE-532, CWE-312).

What the SDK logs:

• The cached address derived from the resolved key (for diagnostic confirmation). Never the key, mnemonic, or password.
• Bundler / paymaster RPC errors verbatim, which can include the smart-wallet address but not the signer key.

What actp init does for downstream consumers:

• Adds .actp/, .env, and .env.* to .gitignore so a forgetful operator can't accidentally commit a populated .env.
• Writes a starter .env.example documenting the keystore + RPC schema with placeholder values only.

If a CI / deployment context needs sensitive material, prefer file-based delivery (mounted secrets, encrypted-at-rest stores) over env vars where the platform supports it, and never echo command lines through set -x while ACTP env vars are populated.

Transaction Confirmations

All state-changing operations in ACTPKernel wait for block confirmations before events are emitted. The default is 2 confirmations (~4-6s on Base L2's ~2s blocks), configurable via BlockchainRuntimeConfig.confirmations. The SDK's EventMonitor receives already-confirmed events; no additional confirmation handling is needed at the application layer.

Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)

AGIRAILS uses did:ethr DIDs based on the ERC-1056 standard for identity management.

DID Format

Every Ethereum address automatically IS a DID - no registration required:

did:ethr:84532:0x742d35cc6634c0532925a3b844bc9e7595f0beb
       ↑      ↑
   chainId  address

Basic Usage

import { DIDResolver } from '@agirails/sdk';

// Build DID from address (no registration needed!)
const did = DIDResolver.buildDID('0x742d35cc6634c0532925a3b844bc9e7595f0beb', 84532);
// → 'did:ethr:84532:0x742d35cc6634c0532925a3b844bc9e7595f0beb'

// Parse DID components
const parsed = DIDResolver.parseDID(did);
console.log(parsed.method);   // 'ethr'
console.log(parsed.chainId);  // 84532
console.log(parsed.address);  // '0x742d35cc6634c0532925a3b844bc9e7595f0beb'

// Validate DID format
const isValid = DIDResolver.isValidDID(did);  // true

Resolve DID to DID Document

import { DIDResolver } from '@agirails/sdk';

// Create resolver for Base Sepolia
const resolver = await DIDResolver.create({ network: 'base-sepolia' });

// Resolve DID to W3C DID Document
const result = await resolver.resolve('did:ethr:84532:0x742d35cc...');

if (result.didDocument) {
  console.log('Controller:', result.didDocument.controller);
  console.log('Verification Methods:', result.didDocument.verificationMethod);
  console.log('Service Endpoints:', result.didDocument.service);
}

Verify Signatures

import { DIDResolver } from '@agirails/sdk';

const resolver = await DIDResolver.create({ network: 'base-sepolia' });

// Verify a signature was made by a DID's controller (or authorized delegate)
const result = await resolver.verifySignature(
  'did:ethr:84532:0x742d35cc...',  // DID
  'Hello AGIRAILS',                 // Original message
  '0x1234...',                      // Signature
  { chainId: 84532 }                // Verification options
);

if (result.valid) {
  console.log('Signature valid!');
  console.log('Signer:', result.signer);
  console.log('Is delegate:', result.isDelegate);
}

Advanced: Manage Identity (Optional)

For advanced use cases, use DIDManager to manage delegates and attributes:

import { DIDManager } from '@agirails/sdk';

// Create manager with signer
const manager = new DIDManager(signer, { network: 'base-sepolia' });

// Add a signing delegate (valid for 24 hours)
await manager.addDelegate(
  'did:ethr:84532:0x742d35cc...',  // Your DID
  '0xDelegateAddress...',          // Delegate address
  'sigAuth',                        // Delegate type
  86400                             // Validity in seconds
);

// Rotate key ownership
await manager.changeOwner(
  'did:ethr:84532:0x742d35cc...',
  '0xNewOwnerAddress...'
);

// Add service endpoint attribute
await manager.setAttribute(
  'did:ethr:84532:0x742d35cc...',
  'did/svc/AgentService',
  'https://my-agent.example.com/api',
  86400
);

DID in ACTP Transactions

DIDs are used internally for:

• Provider/Consumer Identity: Transaction parties identified by DIDs
• Message Signing: EIP-712 messages reference DIDs
• Delivery Proofs: Attestations link to provider DIDs
• Reputation: Future reputation system will be DID-based

Environment Variables

ACTP_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...       # Raw private key (fail-closed on mainnet — see AIP-13)
ACTP_KEYSTORE_BASE64=...     # Base64 keystore for CI/CD (use actp deploy:env to generate)
ACTP_KEY_PASSWORD=...        # Decrypts keystore (ACTP_KEYSTORE_BASE64 or .actp/keystore.json)

# Optional
BASE_SEPOLIA_RPC=...         # Custom RPC for Base Sepolia

Requirements

• Node.js 18+ (required for global fetch and AbortController)
• TypeScript 5.0+ (for development)
• Dependencies: ethers

Module Format

The SDK ships as CommonJS only. It works with require() and with bundlers (webpack, esbuild, Rollup) that support CJS. If you are using ESM (import syntax), Node.js will auto-interop with CJS modules — no additional configuration is needed.
