Paytaca CLI puts the full Paytaca wallet behind one command — send and receive BCH, hold CashTokens and NFTs, swap on Cauldron, chat over Nostr, and let AI agents settle real API payments with x402.
works with 45+ AI agent frameworks
The same core wallet logic as the Paytaca mobile app, exposed as composable commands. Pipe them, script them, or hand them to an agent.
Create or import a wallet, derive HD addresses, inspect balances and export your phrase behind biometrics — no browser, no extension.
BCH, satoshis, or USD — converted at the live rate before it leaves your wallet.
List, price, and send fungible tokens or individual NFTs — with token-aware z-prefix addresses.
Buy and sell tokens against BCH liquidity directly from the shell.
Encrypted conversations with keys derived from the same wallet. Nothing extra to store.
Every read command returns clean --json. Wire Paytaca into cron jobs, bots, and CI — or straight into an autonomous agent.

x402 turns HTTP 402 Payment Required into a real payment flow. Paytaca CLI reads the quote, signs a Bitcoin Cash transaction locally, retries the request, and hands the response back — per call, no accounts, no cards.

Payment is signed on your machine from the OS keychain.
One API call, one BCH transaction. No subscriptions.
Paytaca ships portable skills that teach 45+ agent frameworks how to use the CLI safely. Reads are free; anything that spends asks a human first.
paytaca-walletread onlyBalance, addresses, history and token info. Pure reads — the agent can look, never touch.
paytaca-sendapprovalSend BCH and CashTokens. The agent must surface the amount and wait for your approval.
paytaca-x402approvalDetect HTTP 402, quote the price, and settle paid API calls — gated before any spend.
The mnemonic is written straight to the OS secret store — there is no plaintext wallet file to leak.
Revealing the recovery phrase requires an interactive terminal plus Touch ID, fingerprint, or Windows Hello.
HD derivation and transaction signing happen on-device. Only signed, well-formed data is broadcast.
Native access runs on prebuilt Rust binaries via @napi-rs/keyring — no node-gyp, no compile step.
One command to install. Node.js 20 or newer. macOS, Linux, and Windows, with your secrets kept in the system keychain.
