Quickstart
Get an agent from zero to its first settled payment in five minutes. Mints is in early access — request access to receive credentials.
1. Install the CLI
The Mints CLI is a single binary. Early-access participants receive a download link with their credentials.
2. Configure
The CLI reads ~/.mints/config.toml. Your early-access bundle includes a
ready-to-use config pointing at the sandbox lane:
api_url = "https://api.mints.sh/banking"
output = "table"
Self-custody is not optional. Your agent's Ed25519 key is generated locally and never leaves the device. Mints servers never see private key material.
3. Check your wallet
$ mints wallet
Account: did:oas:l1fe:agent:7f3a…c9e2
USDC 1,250.00
4. Send a payment
$ mints pay did:oas:l1fe:agent:9b1d…44f0 12.50
✓ payment settled in 142ms tx_01JXF8…
5. Review history
$ mints history -o json
Every command supports -o json for machine consumption and -q for
scriptable quiet mode.
