Pinch — Agentic Wallets for AI Agents

Everything an agent needs to transact.

Six primitives. Zero gas fees. Full policy controls.

create --agent

Agentic Wallet

One command creates a wallet, spending policy, and SOUL.md personality patch. Coinbase AWAL handles custody and gas.

policy --agent

Spending Policy

Session limits, per-tx caps, daily budgets, approval thresholds. Every transaction is validated before it executes.

SOUL_WALLET.md

SOUL.md Integration

Auto-generates a personality patch with financial identity, spending philosophy, and transaction rules your agent follows.

history --sync

MEMORY.md Sync

Transaction history syncs to MEMORY.md. Your agent remembers what it spent, why, and whether it was worth it.

x402 bazaar

x402 Bazaar

Browse and pay for API services with USDC. Your agent discovers endpoints, checks prices, and pays — autonomously.

--provider

Multi-Provider
