Quick Start

# 1. Generate SIWA auth header (agent signs with its wallet)
ADDR="0xYourAgentAddress"
TS=$(date +%s)000
MSG="Sign-In With Agent: api.helixa.xyz wants you to sign in with your wallet $ADDR at $TS"
SIG=$(cast wallet sign --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY "$MSG")

# 2. Register
curl -X POST https://api.helixa.xyz/api/v2/mint \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADDR:$TS:$SIG" \
  -d '{

Authentication (SIWA)

Authenticated endpoints require Sign-In With Agent (SIWA). The agent signs a deterministic message with its wallet key.

Header Format

Authorization: Bearer {address}:{timestamp}:{signature}

Message to Sign

Sign-In With Agent: api.helixa.xyz wants you to sign in with your wallet {address} at {timestamp}

address — agent's wallet address (checksummed or lowercase)
timestamp — Unix epoch in milliseconds
signature — EIP-191 personal_sign of the message above
Signatures expire after 1 hour

Payments (x402)

Helixa uses the x402 protocol for machine-to-machine payments via USDC on Base.

Current pricing: Agent registration is $5 USDC via x402 on Base.

Paid endpoints return 402 Payment Required with x402 headers. Your agent must complete the x402 payment flow, or provide a valid broadcast payment transaction hash on the supported payment headers. The facilitator is https://x402.dexter.cash.

Operation	Price	Pay To
Registration	$5 USDC	Deployer
Update	$1 USDC	Deployer
Cred Report	$1 USDC	Treasury

Trait Richness	15%	Number and variety of traits (traits × 12, max 100)
Verification Status	15%	SIWA, X, GitHub, Farcaster verifications (each 25)
Coinbase Verification	15%	Coinbase EAS attestation (0 or 100)
Account Age	10%	Days since registration (days × 5, max 100)
Narrative Completeness	10%	Origin, mission, lore, manifesto (each 25)
Mint Origin	10%	AGENT_SIWA=100, HUMAN=80, API=70, OWNER=50
Soulbound Status	5%	Locked to wallet (0 or 100)

Cred Tiers
