A self-hosted wallet daemon that lets AI agents perform on-chain transactions securely -- while the owner keeps full control of funds.
## The Problem
AI agents that need to transact on-chain face an impossible choice: hold private keys (and risk total loss if compromised) or depend on a centralized custodian (single point of failure, trust dependency).
WAIaaS bridges the gap -- agents handle small transactions instantly, large amounts require owner approval, and everything runs on your machine with no third-party dependency.
## How It Works
WAIaaS is a local daemon that sits between your AI agent and the blockchain:
- **3-tier authentication** -- Separate roles for the daemon operator (masterAuth), fund owner (ownerAuth), and AI agent (sessionAuth)
- **4-tier policy engine** -- Transactions are auto-classified by USD value into INSTANT / NOTIFY / DELAY / APPROVAL tiers
- **12 policy types** -- Cumulative spend limits, token allowlists, contract whitelists, approved spenders, and more
- **Defense in depth** -- Kill Switch, AutoStop engine, audit logging, 4-channel notifications
See [Security Model](docs/security-model.md) for full details.

**12 packages** in a monorepo:
- **@waiaas/core** — Shared types, Zod schemas, enums, and interfaces
- **@waiaas/daemon** — Self-hosted wallet daemon (Hono HTTP server)
- **@waiaas/adapter-solana** — Solana chain adapter (SPL / Token-2022)
- **@waiaas/adapter-evm** — EVM chain adapter (ERC-20 via viem)
- **@waiaas/actions** — DeFi Action Providers (Jupiter, 0x, LI.FI, Lido, Jito)
- **@waiaas/sdk** — TypeScript client library
- **@waiaas/mcp** — Model Context Protocol server for AI agents
- **@waiaas/cli** — Command-line interface
- **@waiaas/admin** — Preact-based Admin Web UI
- **@waiaas/wallet-sdk** — Wallet Signing SDK for wallet app integration
- **@waiaas/push-relay** — Push Relay Server (daemon → Pushwoosh/FCM native push)
- **@waiaas/skills** — Pre-built `.skill.md` instruction files for AI agents
See [Architecture](docs/architecture.md) for the full technical deep-dive.
## Quick Start
```bash
npm install -g @waiaas/cli
waiaas init # Create data directory + config.toml
waiaas start # Start daemon (sets master password on first run)
waiaas quickset --mode mainnet # Create wallets + MCP sessions in one step
```
The `quickset` command does everything you need to get started:
1. Creates **Solana Mainnet + EVM Ethereum Mainnet** wallets automatically
2. Issues **MCP session tokens** for each wallet
3. Outputs a **Claude Desktop MCP config** snippet -- just copy and paste
> We recommend configuring spending limits and registering an owner wallet for high-value transaction approval. For testing, use `waiaas quickset --mode testnet` to create Solana Devnet + EVM Sepolia wallets instead.
### Admin UI
After starting the daemon, manage everything from the admin panel at `http://127.0.0.1:3100/admin` (masterAuth required).
## Connect Your AI Agent
After quickset, choose one of two integration paths:
### Path A: MCP (Claude Desktop / Claude Code)
For AI agents that support the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io):
```bash
# quickset already printed the MCP config JSON -- paste it into
# ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
# Or auto-register with all wallets:
waiaas mcp setup --all
```
The daemon runs as an MCP server. Your agent calls wallet tools directly -- send tokens, check balances, manage policies -- all through the MCP protocol.
### Path B: Skill Files (Any AI Agent)
For agents that don't support MCP, or when you prefer REST API integration:
```bash
npx @waiaas/skills add all
```
This adds `.skill.md` instruction files to your project. Include them in your agent's context and it learns the WAIaaS API automatically. Available skills: `setup`, `quickstart`, `wallet`, `transactions`, `policies`, `admin`, `actions`, `x402`.
### Agent Self-Setup (Auto-Provision)
AI agents can set up WAIaaS fully autonomously with no human interaction:
```bash
npm install -g @waiaas/cli
waiaas init --auto-provision # Generates random master password → recovery.key
waiaas start # No password prompt
waiaas quickset # Creates wallets + sessions automatically
waiaas set-master # (Later) Harden password, then delete recovery.key
```
The `--auto-provision` flag generates a cryptographically random master password and saves it to `~/.waiaas/recovery.key`. All subsequent CLI commands read it automatically. See the [Agent Self-Setup Guide](docs/agent-guides/agent-self-setup.md) for the complete flow.
For manual setup with human-guided password entry, install skills and follow `waiaas-setup/SKILL.md`:
```bash
npx @waiaas/skills add all
```
## Alternative: Docker
```bash
git clone https://github.com/minho-yoo/waiaas.git && cd waiaas
docker compose up -d
```
The daemon listens on `http://127.0.0.1:3100`.
## Using the SDK
```typescript
import { WAIaaSClient } from '@waiaas/sdk';
const client = new WAIaaSClient({
baseUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:3100',
sessionToken: process.env.WAIAAS_SESSION_TOKEN,
});
const balance = await client.getBalance();
console.log(`Balance: ${balance.balance} ${balance.symbol}`);
const tx = await client.sendToken({
to: 'recipient-address...',
amount: '0.1',
});
console.log(`Transaction: ${tx.id}`);
```
## Admin UI
Access the admin panel at `http://127.0.0.1:3100/admin` with your master password:
- **Dashboard** -- System overview, wallet balances, recent transactions
- **Wallets** -- Create, manage, and monitor wallets across chains; RPC endpoints, balance monitoring, and WalletConnect settings
- **Sessions** -- Issue and revoke agent session tokens; session lifetime and rate limit settings
- **Policies** -- Configure 12 policy types with visual form editors; default deny and tier settings
- **Notifications** -- Channel status and delivery logs; Telegram, Discord, and Slack settings
- **Security** -- Kill Switch emergency controls, AutoStop protection rules, JWT rotation
- **System** -- API keys, display currency, price oracle, rate limits, log level, and daemon shutdown
Features include settings search (Ctrl+K / Cmd+K) and unsaved changes protection.
Enabled by default (`admin_ui = true` in config.toml).
