TrencherAI — Base Chain Intelligence

Real-time AI scoring for Base chain tokens via x402 micropayments. Score any token 0-100 with smart money signals, pattern win rate, launchpad context, and B...

Security Scan

The skill is mostly coherent for a pay-per-request token-scoring service, but it relies on client-side micropayments and an external pay-to address (and the SKILL.md example references Coinbase API keys without declaring them), which raises payment/exfiltration risks that you should understand before enabling it.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description (token scoring on Base) matches the runtime instructions: all endpoints are token-scoring, hot-feeds, and smart-money activity. The declared lack of required binaries/env/config is consistent with an instruction-only wrapper that delegates payments to the client-side x402 flow.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are narrowly scoped to calling api.aitrencher.xyz endpoints and handling an x402 payment flow; they do not ask the agent to read unrelated files or system-wide secrets. However, the doc includes a code example that uses Coinbase CDP credentials (apiKeyId, apiKeySecret) for signing payments — the SKILL.md does not declare these as required env vars, so callers must supply them to their agent/client. The agent will need to perform wallet signing or provide Coinbase CDP keys to make payments, which increases the risk of accidental charges or credential exposure if not managed carefully.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk by the skill itself. This is the lowest install risk.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, yet its payment example shows directly using Coinbase CDP API keys (apiKeyId/apiKeySecret). That is not intrinsically malicious, but it is a mismatch between declared requirements and the real-world need to supply payment credentials to the agent. Also, the SKILL.md hardcodes a pay-to address (0xd3c3...ccab) and a facilitator endpoint (api.cdp.coinbase.com); calling the service will cause micro-payments to that address — ensure you trust it before enabling automatic agent calls.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not always-on and does not request persistent system privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (normal), but nothing in the skill requests system-wide config changes or cross-skill credential access.

What to consider before installing

This skill calls an external API that charges small USDC payments per request; the payments are handled client-side via x402 and may require Coinbase CDP credentials or a wallet. Before installing: 1) Verify you trust api.aitrencher.xyz and the hardcoded pay-to address (0xd3c3...ccab). 2) Do NOT give your agent high-privilege Coinbase API keys unless you understand and limit their scope — prefer a dedicated low-balance wallet or restricted API key for testing. 3) Ensure your agent only makes requests when you explicitly authorize them (or disable automatic invocation), so it cannot make uncontrolled micro-payments. 4) Test with a tiny amount first and monitor transactions on Base. 5) If you need provenance, request the skill owner/source code or a homepage before using it with real funds.

TrencherAI — Base Chain Token Intelligence

TrencherAI is an AI-powered token scoring system for Base chain. It monitors Clanker, Bankr, and Doppler launches in real-time and scores them using a Claude Haiku reasoning pipeline with smart money tracking and pattern learning.

Payment

All endpoints use x402 micropayments (USDC on Base). No API key required. Your agent pays per request automatically if you have an x402-compatible client.

No credentials required on TrencherAI's side. Payment is handled entirely client-side by your x402-compatible agent using its own wallet. TrencherAI does not store, request, or have access to any client credentials.

x402 Payment Flow

When your agent calls any endpoint, the server returns HTTP 402 with payment instructions:

{
  "x402Version": 1,
  "accepts": [{
    "scheme": "exact",
    "network": "eip155:8453",
    "amount": "50000",
    "asset": "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913",
    "payTo": "0xd3c3b0b35a9252f438ac3c86ca0ce18caa02ccab",
    "maxTimeoutSeconds": 60
  }]
}

Your x402 client handles payment automatically. Example using Coinbase CDP:

Note: apiKeyId and apiKeySecret in the example below are your own Coinbase CDP credentials, used by your agent to sign payments client-side. TrencherAI never receives, requests, or stores any credentials — all signing happens locally in your agent.

import { createCdpAuthHeaders } from '@coinbase/x402';

const headers = createCdpAuthHeaders(apiKeyId, apiKeySecret);
const authHeaders = await headers();

const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.aitrencher.xyz/api/score-token?address=0x...',
  { headers: authHeaders.verify }
);

Scoring Methodology

TrencherAI scores tokens 0-100 using multiple signals:

Signal	Weight	Source
Smart Money Entry	High	On-chain wallet tracking via BaseScan
Telegram Mentions	Medium	Real-time group monitoring (50+ groups)
X/Twitter Sentiment	Medium	Post volume and sentiment analysis
Deployer Reputation	Medium	Historical deployer success rate
Pattern Win Rate	High	ML pattern matching against 1800+ outcomes
Liquidity Depth	Low	Pool analysis via DexScreener
Launchpad Trust	Base	Clanker/Bankr/Doppler = trusted LP lock

Score interpretation:

• 90-100: Exceptional confluence of signals. Rare (<5% of tokens).
• 80-89: Strong signal. Smart money + social proof present.
• 65-79: Moderate signal. Some positive indicators.
• <65: Weak or no signal. High risk.
