Starknet Wallet

Starknet Wallet Skill

Manage Starknet wallets for AI agents with native Account Abstraction support.

When to Use

• Creating, funding, and operating Starknet accounts for agent workflows.
• Checking balances, sending transfers, managing session keys, or invoking contracts from an agent wallet.

When NOT to Use

• DeFi-specific routing, staking, or lending flows better covered by starknet-defi.
• Cairo contract authoring, deployment-only operations, or security auditing.

Quick Start

1. Install the SDK dependencies and set Starknet RPC/account environment variables.
2. Use [skills catalog](../README.md) to pivot to adjacent modules like DeFi, deployment, or auditing.

Balance Tools Detail

starknetgetbalance (Single Token)

Query balance for one token. Use for simple cases.

Input:

• token (required): Token symbol (ETH, STRK, USDC, USDT) or contract address
• address (optional): Wallet address (defaults to agent's address)

Response:

{
  "address": "0x...",
  "token": "ETH",
  "tokenAddress": "0x049d36570d4e46f48e99674bd3fcc84644ddd6b96f7c741b1562b82f9e004dc7",
  "balance": "1.5",
  "raw": "1500000000000000000",
  "decimals": 18
}

starknetgetbalances (Multiple Tokens)

Query balances for multiple tokens in a single RPC call. More efficient for portfolio views.

Input:

• tokens (required): Array of token symbols or addresses (max 200)
• address (optional): Wallet address

Response:

{
  "address": "0x...",
  "balances": [
    { "token": "ETH", "tokenAddress": "0x...", "balance": "1.5", "raw": "...", "decimals": 18 },
    { "token": "USDC", "tokenAddress": "0x...", "balance": "100", "raw": "...", "decimals": 6 }
  ],
  "tokensQueried": 2,
  "method": "balance_checker"
}

When to use:

• starknetgetbalance: Quick single-token check
• starknetgetbalances: Portfolio overview, multi-token operations

Core Operations

Check Balance (Single Token)

Use the starknet_get_balance MCP tool for simple single-token queries:

// Via MCP tool (recommended)
const result = await mcpClient.callTool({
  name: "starknet_get_balance",
  arguments: {
    address: "0x...",  // Account address
    token: "ETH",      // Symbol (ETH, STRK, USDC, USDT) or contract address
  }
});
// Returns: { address, token, tokenAddress, balance, raw, decimals }

Direct starknet.js usage:

import { RpcProvider, Contract } from "starknet";

const provider = new RpcProvider({ nodeUrl: process.env.STARKNET_RPC_URL });

// ETH balance (starknet.js v8 uses options object for Contract)
const ethAddress = "0x049d36570d4e46f48e99674bd3fcc84644ddd6b96f7c741b1562b82f9e004dc7";
const ethContract = new Contract({
  abi: erc20Abi,
  address: ethAddress,
  providerOrAccount: provider,
});
const balance = await ethContract.balanceOf(accountAddress);

// starknet.js v8: Convert uint256 to bigint
const balanceBigInt = BigInt(balance.low) + (BigInt(balance.high) " },
    ],
    outputs: [{ type: "core::array::Span::" }],
    state_mutability: "view",
  },
];

const balanceChecker = new Contract({
  abi: BALANCE_CHECKER_ABI,
  address: BALANCE_CHECKER_ADDRESS,
  providerOrAccount: provider,
});

// Query multiple tokens at once
const tokens = [
  "0x049d36570d4e46f48e99674bd3fcc84644ddd6b96f7c741b1562b82f9e004dc7", // ETH
  "0x04718f5a0fc34cc1af16a1cdee98ffb20c31f5cd61d6ab07201858f4287c938d", // STRK
  "0x053c91253bc9682c04929ca02ed00b3e423f6710d2ee7e0d5ebb06f3ecf368a8", // USDC
];

const result = await balanceChecker.get_balances(accountAddress, tokens);

// Parse response (only non-zero balances returned)
for (const item of result) {
  const tokenAddr = "0x" + BigInt(item.token).toString(16).padStart(64, "0");
  const balance = BigInt(item.balance); // starknet.js converts u256 to bigint
  console.log(`${tokenAddr}: ${balance}`);
}

When to use which:

• starknet_get_balance: Single token, simple use case
• starknet_get_balances: Multiple tokens, portfolio view, more efficient

Transfer Tokens

Use the starknet_transfer MCP tool with optional gasless mode:

// Via MCP tool (recommended)
const result = await mcpClient.callTool({
  name: "starknet_transfer",
  arguments: {
    recipient: "0x...",
    token: "STRK",        // Symbol or contract address
    amount: "10.5",       // Human-readable amount
    gasfree: false,       // Optional: use paymaster
  }
});
// Returns: { transactionHash, recipient, token, amount, gasfree }

Gasless Transfer (Pay gas in token instead of ETH/STRK):

// Pay gas in USDC instead of ETH/STRK
const result = await mcpClient.callTool({
  name: "starknet_transfer",
  arguments: {
    recipient: "0x...",
    token: "STRK",
    amount: "100",
    gasfree: true,
    gasToken: "USDC",    // Gas paid in USDC
  }
});

Direct starknet.js usage:

import { Account, RpcProvider, CallData, cairo, ETransactionVersion } from "starknet";

const provider = new RpcProvider({ nodeUrl: process.env.STARKNET_RPC_URL });

// starknet.js v8: Account uses options object
const account = new Account({
  provider,
  address: process.env.STARKNET_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS,
  signer: process.env.STARKNET_PRIVATE_KEY,
  transactionVersion: ETransactionVersion.V3,
});

const tokenAddress = "0x04718f5a0fc34cc1af16a1cdee98ffb20c31f5cd61d6ab07201858f4287c938d"; // STRK

// starknet.js v8: Use cairo.uint256() instead of uint256.bnToUint256()
const { transaction_hash } = await account.execute({
  contractAddress: tokenAddress,
  entrypoint: "transfer",
  calldata: CallData.compile({
    recipient: recipientAddress,
    amount: cairo.uint256(amountInWei),
  }),
});
await account.waitForTransaction(transaction_hash);

Estimate Fees

const estimatedFee = await account.estimateInvokeFee({
  contractAddress: tokenAddress,
  entrypoint: "transfer",
  calldata: CallData.compile({
    recipient: recipientAddress,
    amount: cairo.uint256(amountInWei),
  }),
});
// estimatedFee.overall_fee -- total fee in STRK (V3 transactions)

Contract Interactions

Read contract state (view functions):

// Via MCP tool
const result = await mcpClient.callTool({
  name: "starknet_call_contract",
  arguments: {
    contractAddress: "0x...",
    entrypoint: "balanceOf",
    calldata: [accountAddress],
  }
});

Write to contracts (state-changing functions):

// Via MCP tool with gasless option
const result = await mcpClient.callTool({
  name: "starknet_invoke_contract",
  arguments: {
    contractAddress: "0x...",
    entrypoint: "approve",
    calldata: [spenderAddress, ...uint256Amount],
    gasfree: true,         // Optional: use paymaster
    gasToken: "USDC",      // Optional: pay gas in token
  }
});

Multi-Call (Batch Transactions)

// Execute multiple operations in a single transaction
const { transaction_hash } = await account.execute([
  {
    contractAddress: tokenA,
    entrypoint: "approve",
    calldata: CallData.compile({
      spender: routerAddress,
      amount: cairo.uint256(amount),
    }),
  },
  {
    contractAddress: routerAddress,
    entrypoint: "swap",
    calldata: CallData.compile({ /* swap params */ }),
  },
]);

Gasless Transfer (Pay Gas in Token) - SDK v4 + PaymasterRpc

import { getQuotes, executeSwap } from "@avnu/avnu-sdk";
import { PaymasterRpc } from "starknet";

// SDK v4: Use PaymasterRpc from starknet.js
// Mainnet: https://starknet.paymaster.avnu.fi
// Sepolia: https://sepolia.paymaster.avnu.fi
const paymaster = new PaymasterRpc({
  nodeUrl: process.env.AVNU_PAYMASTER_URL || "https://starknet.paymaster.avnu.fi",
});

// Any swap can be made gasless by adding paymaster option
const result = await executeSwap({
  provider: account,
  quote: bestQuote,
  slippage: 0.01,
  executeApprove: true,
  paymaster: {
    active: true,
    provider: paymaster,
    params: {
      feeMode: {
        mode: "default",
        gasToken: usdcAddress, // Pay gas in USDC instead of ETH/STRK
      },
    },
  },
});

Token Resolution

The MCP server uses TokenService to resolve token symbols and addresses. Static tokens (ETH, STRK, USDC, USDT) are always available. For other tokens, the service fetches metadata from avnu SDK.

import { fetchTokenByAddress, fetchVerifiedTokenBySymbol } from '@avnu/avnu-sdk';

// Get token by symbol (verified tokens only)
const lords = await fetchVerifiedTokenBySymbol('LORDS');
console.log(lords.address, lords.decimals); // 0x0124aeb..., 18

// Get token by address (any token)
const token = await fetchTokenByAddress('0x...');
console.log(token.symbol, token.name, token.decimals);

// Get all verified tokens
import { fetchTokens } from '@avnu/avnu-sdk';
const page = await fetchTokens({ tags: ['Verified'], size: 100 });
page.content.forEach(t => console.log(t.symbol, t.address));

Static tokens available without network calls: ETH, STRK, USDC, USDT

Session Keys (Agent Autonomy)

Session keys allow agents to execute pre-approved transactions without per-action human approval:

1. Human owner creates a session key with policies:

• Allowed contract addresses and methods
• Maximum spending per transaction/period
• Expiry timestamp

1. Agent uses the session key for autonomous operations
2. Owner can revoke at any time

Reference implementation: Cartridge Controller

Configuration

| Variable | Purpose | Default | |----------|---------|---------| | STARKNET_RPC_URL | Starknet JSON-RPC endpoint | Required | | STARKNET_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS | Agent's account address | Required | | STARKNET_PRIVATE_KEY | Agent's signing key | Required | | AVNU_BASE_URL | avnu API base URL | https://starknet.api.avnu.fi | | AVNU_PAYMASTER_URL | avnu paymaster URL | https://starknet.paymaster.avnu.fi |

Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Resolution | |-------|-------|------------| | INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE | Not enough tokens | Check balance before transfer | | INVALID_NONCE | Nonce mismatch | Retry with fresh nonce | | TRANSACTION_REVERTED | Contract execution failed | Check calldata and allowances | | FEE_TRANSFER_FAILURE | Can't pay gas fee | Use paymaster or add ETH/STRK |
