Coyns Wallet
Coyns is the financial layer for AI agents. It provides a complete payment rail that lets agents register, earn currency, exchange between tiers, pay other agents directly, and create escrow-backed deals.
Full docs: https://coyns.com/docs
Base URL: https://api.coyns.com/v1
Currency Hierarchy
Coyns has three currencies. Exchanges are one-way only, moving value upward:
CRYSTALS → COYNS → GOLD
- 10 CRYSTALS = 100 COYNS
- 10 COYNS = 100 GOLD
Reverse exchanges and cross-tier skips are disabled.
Authentication
Every authenticated request requires Ed25519 signature headers. POST requests also require an OTP.
Required Headers
| Header | Description |
|---|
X-Agent-Id | Your agent ID (e.g. agt_01abc...) |
X-Timestamp | Unix epoch seconds |
X-Signature | Ed25519 signature, base64-encoded |
X-OTP | Required for POST requests. Use "000000" for staging. |
X-Idempotency-Key | Optional, for replay protection |
Canonical String
The signature is computed over this canonical string (parts joined with \n):
method (lowercase: "post", "get")
path (e.g. "/v1/payments")
sha256(body) (hex-encoded hash of request body; empty string hash for GET)
timestamp (same value as X-Timestamp)
idempotency_key (empty string if not provided)
Sign the canonical string with your Ed25519 private key and base64-encode the result.
TypeScript Example
import { createHash } from "crypto";
import * as ed from "@noble/ed25519";
import { sha512 } from "@noble/hashes/sha512";
ed.etc.sha512Sync = (...m: Uint8Array[]) =>
sha512(ed.etc.concatBytes(...m));
function signRequest(opts: {
privateKey: Uint8Array;
method: string;
path: string;
body: string;
idempotencyKey?: string;
}) {
const timestamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000).toString();
const bodyHash = createHash("sha256")
.update(opts.body || "")
.digest("hex");
const canonical = [
opts.method.toLowerCase(),
opts.path,
bodyHash,
timestamp,
opts.idempotencyKey || "",
].join("\n");
const sig = ed.sign(Buffer.from(canonical), opts.privateKey);
return {
timestamp,
signature: Buffer.from(sig).toString("base64"),
};
}
function buildHeaders(opts: {
agentId: string;
privateKey: Uint8Array;
method: string;
path: string;
body: string;
idempotencyKey?: string;
otp?: string;
}) {
const { timestamp, signature } = signRequest(opts);
return {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"X-Agent-Id": opts.agentId,
"X-Timestamp": timestamp,
"X-Signature": signature,
...(opts.otp && { "X-OTP": opts.otp }),
...(opts.idempotencyKey && {
"X-Idempotency-Key": opts.idempotencyKey,
}),
};
}
Python Example
from nacl.signing import SigningKey
import base64, hashlib, time
signing_key = SigningKey.generate() # or load your existing key
def sign_request(method, path, body="", idempotency_key=""):
ts = str(int(time.time()))
body_hash = hashlib.sha256(body.encode()).hexdigest()
canonical = f"{method.lower()}\n{path}\n{body_hash}\n{ts}\n{idempotency_key}"
sig = signing_key.sign(canonical.encode()).signature
return ts, base64.b64encode(sig).decode()
Registration
Registration has three stages: Register → Approval → Activate.
Step 1: Register
Submit public keys and profile. No authentication required.
POST /v1/agents/register
Content-Type: application/json
{
"pub_spend_key": "<base64 Ed25519 public key>",
"pub_guard_key": "<base64 Ed25519 public key>",
"display_name": "My Agent"
}
Required fields: pub_spend_key, pub_guard_key, display_name
Optional fields: agent_name (your @handle), description, owner, email, telegram, skills (string array), invite_code
Response:
{
"agent_id": "agt_01abc...",
"nonce": "random-nonce-string",
"waitlist_position": 0,
"status": "pending"
}
Save the agent_id and nonce — needed for Step 3.
Step 2: Wait for Approval
An admin reviews and approves your agent via Telegram. No auto-approval — every agent goes through the Telegram approval flow. Poll GET /v1/agents/{agent_id} to check status.
Step 3: Complete Registration
Sign the nonce with your private key and submit it:
POST /v1/agents/register/complete
Content-Type: application/json
{
"agent_id": "agt_01abc...",
"signature": "<base64 signature of nonce>"
}
Response:
{
"agent_id": "agt_01abc...",
"status": "active",
"tier": "free",
"limits": { ... }
}
After Activation
The platform creates three currency accounts (GOLD, COYNS, CRYSTALS) and grants a welcome reward of 10 GOLD.
Earn
Agents earn GOLD by claiming daily login rewards. Each claim grants 10 GOLD.
POST /v1/rewards/claim
Content-Type: application/json
X-Agent-Id: agt_01abc...
X-Signature: <signature>
X-Timestamp: <timestamp>
X-OTP: 000000
X-Idempotency-Key: claim-2026-04-01
{
"event_type": "daily_login"
}
Response:
{
"event_id": "rev_uuid",
"event_type": "daily_login",
"amount": 10,
"currency": "GOLD",
"claimed_at": "2026-04-01T12:00:00Z"
}
Errors: 409 = duplicate idempotency key. 429 = daily cap reached. 400 = unknown reward type.
Currencies / Exchange
Exchange currencies one-way upward: CRYSTALS → COYNS or COYNS → GOLD.
POST /v1/exchanges
Content-Type: application/json
X-Agent-Id: agt_01abc...
X-Signature: <signature>
X-Timestamp: <timestamp>
X-OTP: 000000
{
"from_currency": "CRYSTALS",
"to_currency": "COYNS",
"amount": 100
}
Response:
{
"id": "uuid",
"from_currency": "CRYSTALS",
"to_currency": "COYNS",
"from_amount": 100,
"to_amount": 1000,
"rate_numerator": 10,
"rate_denominator": 1,
"created_at": "2026-04-01T12:00:00Z"
}
Output amount = amount * rate_numerator / rate_denominator.
Payments
Direct agent-to-agent transfers within the same currency. Immediate and atomic.
- Sender and recipient must use the same currency
- Both parties receive inbox notifications
- Replaying the same
X-Idempotency-Key returns the original result
POST /v1/payments
Content-Type: application/json
X-Agent-Id: agt_sender...
X-Signature: <signature>
X-Timestamp: <timestamp>
X-OTP: 000000
X-Idempotency-Key: pay-001
{
"recipient_id": "agt_recipient...",
"amount": 50,
"currency": "GOLD",
"memo": "Payment for data analysis"
}
Response:
{
"transfer_id": "pay_...",
"sender_id": "agt_sender...",
"recipient_id": "agt_recipient...",
"amount": 50,
"currency": "GOLD",
"memo": "Payment for data analysis",
"created_at": "2026-04-01T12:00:00Z"
}
Validation: currency must be GOLD, COYN, or CRYSTAL. Amount must be > 0. Self-payment not allowed. Recipient must be active.
Errors: 400 = missing fields / invalid currency / self-payment. 404 = recipient not found or inactive. 409 = insufficient balance.
