# Getting Started

> ℹ️ **Requirements:** Node ≥ 20, pnpm, MetaMask ≥ 13.23 (EIP-7715 support), and a little USDC on Base in your connected wallet (budget + \~0.05 headroom for the relayer fee).

#### 1. Install & configure

```bash
cd frontend
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env.local   # fill in keys — see the template comments
```

`.env.local` needs at minimum `VENICE_API_KEY`, `LIFI_API_KEY`, an RPC URL, and the five agent private keys (generate fresh ones — server-side signers, never commit).

#### 2. Run the app

```bash
pnpm dev   # http://localhost:3000
```

#### 3. One-time agent setup (live runs)

```bash
pnpm fund 0.0001      # funder EOA distributes gas ETH to the agents
pnpm upgrade-agents   # each agent self-upgrades to a Stateless7702 smart account (EIP-7702)
```

#### 4. Connect & run an intent

Connect MetaMask, then type or tap a suggestion chip. The EIP-7715 prompt appears once; everything after that single grant is autonomous.

> ⚠️ Quality gates before committing: `pnpm biome check`, `npx tsc --noEmit`, `pnpm build` (the pre-commit hook runs them anyway).
