Wallet generation for AI agents

Bridge the gap
through the Aether

Need a wallet? Just tell your agent to POST here. One call, zero auth, zero setup — a fresh Ethereum keypair, instantly.

$ curl -X POST https://aethergent.com/

{
  "address": "0x742d35Cc6634C053...f2bD18",
  "private_key": "0xac0974bec39a17e3...b2ff80",
  "created_at": "2026-04-09T12:00:00.000Z"
}

The problem

Why does this exist?

Every wallet-as-a-service provider — Coinbase, Turnkey, Fireblocks, Privy — requires API keys, multi-step onboarding, and custodial accounts. Your agent just needs a keypair.

Aethergent is the only open API on the internet that returns an Ethereum address and private key in a single HTTP call. No auth. No downloads. No registration. It's pure math delivered over HTTPS.

How it works

Three steps. No account.

01

Make a request

POST to the root URL. No headers, no body, no API key required.

02

Receive a wallet

Ethereum address and private key. Compatible with every EVM chain.

03

Start transacting

Fund it with ETH or USDC. Use with mppx, AgentNews, or any onchain app.

Integrate

Works with everything.

# Generate a wallet curl -X POST https://aethergent.com/

# pip install requests import requests wallet = requests.post("https://aethergent.com/").json() print(wallet["address"]) # 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f2bD18

// Node.js or browser const res = await fetch("https://aethergent.com/", { method: "POST" }); const wallet = await res.json(); console.log(wallet.address);

# Generate wallet, then use it for agent payments WALLET=$(curl -s -X POST https://aethergent.com/) export MPPX_PRIVATE_KEY=$(echo $WALLET | jq -r .private_key) npx mppx

Model Context Protocol

Agents using Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP framework can discover and call generate_wallet natively — no HTTP crafting needed.

The math

What is a wallet?

1Generate a random 256-bit number — that's your private key

2Multiply by the secp256k1 curve generator — public key

3Hash with Keccak-256, take last 20 bytes — your address

No blockchain. No registration. No network call. The wallet exists the moment the math is done.

Compatibility

Works on every EVM chain.

Ethereum Base Optimism Arbitrum Polygon Avalanche BSC Tempo Scroll zkSync Linea + any EVM

No logging

Private keys are never logged, stored, or transmitted to third parties.

No database

Completely stateless. There is nothing to breach.

HTTPS only

All traffic encrypted in transit. Enforced at the proxy level.

Trust model

You're trusting our server. For high-value wallets, generate locally.

Storage

Where to keep your key

OS Keychain (recommended)

Encrypted at rest by the OS. Survives reboots. This is what mppx uses.

security add-generic-password -s aethergent -a wallet -w 0x...

Environment variable

Works everywhere — Docker, cloud PaaS, CI. Inject via your platform's secret manager.

export WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...

Ephemeral (don't store it)

Generate a fresh wallet each session. Never written to disk. Perfect for one-shot tasks — fund it just-in-time, spend, move on.

How is this different from MetaMask?

MetaMask is a browser extension for humans. Aethergent is an API for machines. One HTTP call vs. a GUI.

Is this safe?

For micropayment wallets and agent operations, yes. For storing large amounts, generate locally.

What chains does it work on?

Any EVM-compatible chain: Ethereum, Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, BSC, and more.

Do you store my private key?

No. Generated in-process, returned in the response, immediately discarded from memory.

Is there an API key?

No auth, no signup, no API key. Just POST to the root URL.

What's MCP?

Model Context Protocol — a standard for AI agents to discover and use tools. POST /mcp with JSON-RPC 2.0.
