SDK​

import { useWalletBalance } from '@rickydata/react';

function Balance() {
  const { data } = useWalletBalance();
  if (!data) return null;
  return (
    <div>
      <p>Balance: {data.usdcBalance} USDC</p>
      <p>Deposit: {data.depositAddress}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

API​

curl -s https://agents.rickydata.org/wallet/balance \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mcpwt_..." | jq .

Transaction history​

rickydata wallet transactions
import { useWalletTransactions } from '@rickydata/react';

function History() {
  const { data: txns } = useWalletTransactions();
  return (
    <table>
      <thead>
        <tr><th>Type</th><th>Amount</th><th>Date</th></tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        {txns?.map(tx => (
          <tr key={tx.id}>
            <td>{tx.type}</td>
            <td>${tx.amount}</td>
            <td>{new Date(tx.timestamp).toLocaleString()}</td>
          </tr>
        ))}
      </tbody>
    </table>
  );
}

Balance accounting​

Your available balance is calculated as:

available = onChainBalance - unsettledSpend - pendingWithdrawals
  • On-chain balance: USDC at your deposit address (cached, refreshed periodically)
  • Unsettled spend: tool calls and chat charges not yet settled on-chain
  • Pending withdrawals: withdrawal requests being processed

Important: Base mainnet only​

All USDC must be on Base mainnet (chain ID 8453). USDC sent on other networks (Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, Optimism, etc.) will not be detected. If you accidentally send on the wrong network, see the wrong network recovery policy.
