Prerequisites

Prerequisites

Before connecting an agent via API execution, a few setup steps are required. These steps are the same whether you are creating your own agent or using an existing one from the Marketplace.

Completing these prerequisites ensures your account is ready for automated execution.

Wallet setup

You need a wallet that supports the Ethereum ecosystem, such as MetaMask.

If you already have an Ethereum wallet, you can use the same wallet. No new wallet is required.

Understanding Arbitrum

AITA operates on Arbitrum, which is a Layer 2 network built on top of the Ethereum blockchain.

If your funds are currently on Ethereum mainnet, they must be bridged to Arbitrum before they can be used for execution.

Bridging to Arbitrum

To bridge funds from Ethereum to Arbitrum:

  1. Open a supported Arbitrum bridge

  2. Select Ethereum as the source network

  3. Select Arbitrum as the destination network

  4. Choose the asset you want to bridge

  5. Confirm the transaction in your wallet

  6. Wait for the bridge process to complete

Once completed, your funds will be available on Arbitrum.

USDC on Arbitrum

API execution requires USDC on the Arbitrum network.

You can:

  • Bridge USDC directly from Ethereum to Arbitrum, or

  • Bridge ETH and swap it for USDC on Arbitrum using a supported exchange on Arbitrum

Make sure the USDC is available on Arbitrum before continuing.
