Bank Skills

Traditional banking via Wise API + on-chain token swaps on Base

Bank Skill

Purpose

Gives AI agents traditional banking capabilities (via Wise API) and on-chain token operations (via Uniswap on Base). Agents can check balances, send money, retrieve account details, create Ethereum wallets, swap tokens, and send tokens—all through a single skill.

Prerequisites

For Banking (Wise API):

• WISE_API_TOKEN environment variable (required)
• Optional: WISE_PROFILE_ID (defaults to first available profile)

For Token Operations (Base Network):

• Optional: CLAWBANK_WALLET_PASSWORD (wallet keystore password, defaults to "clawbank-default")
• Optional: BASE_RPC_URL (Base RPC endpoint, defaults to https://mainnet.base.org)

When to Use

Banking: Check balances, send international transfers, share account details for receiving payments

Token Operations: Create wallets, swap tokens on Base (any token with Uniswap liquidity), send tokens, track balances

When Not to Use

• Do not use Wise for crypto on/off-ramps (Wise restricts crypto)
• Do not use with accounts holding significant funds (R&D only)
• Token operations require Base network access and ETH for gas

Technical Details

Token Swap Implementation:

• Hybrid V3+V4 routing (tries V3 first, falls back to V4 for tokens with hooks)
• Supports any token with WETH liquidity on Base
• Automatic fee tier detection (0.05%, 0.3%, 1%)
• Gas costs: ~250k (V3) or ~450k (V4)

Security:

• Wallet keystore encrypted with password
• Private keys never logged or exposed
• All transactions signed locally
• No external API calls for token operations (direct blockchain interaction)
