For Agents

Generate Ethereum addresses, send ETH and ERC-20 tokens, read balances and transactions, and manage IPN webhook subscriptions through Chaingateway's hosted Ethereum bridge.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Chaingateway.io to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Chaingateway.io, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Chaingateway.io API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Hosted Ethereum Wallet

Run a hosted-wallet service that issues an Ethereum address per user without operating an Ethereum node. POST /newAddress generates an address inside the Chaingateway account, POST /getEthereumBalance and POST /getTokenBalance read state, and POST /sendEthereum and POST /sendToken move funds out. Used by checkout flows, payroll services, and on-ramp products that need ETH plumbing without node ops.

Call POST /newAddress to issue a deposit address per user, then POST /getEthereumBalance for that address to display the balance

ERC-20 Payouts

Programmatically pay users in stablecoins or other ERC-20 tokens from a single funded hot wallet. POST /sendToken executes a transfer from a managed address, and POST /getTokenBalance lets the system check liquidity before each batch. Useful for token-rewards programs, marketplace payouts, and stablecoin payroll.

Call POST /getTokenBalance to confirm the hot wallet has enough USDT, then POST /sendToken for each user payout in the batch

Incoming Payment Notifications

Notify backend systems the moment a customer deposit hits an Ethereum address by subscribing the address to Chaingateway IPNs. POST /subscribeAddress registers the callback URL, and POST /listFailedIPNs plus POST /resendFailedIPN cover delivery retry logic so a temporary outage doesn't lose a deposit signal. This avoids polling /getTransactions in a tight loop.

Call POST /subscribeAddress for the merchant deposit address with the callback URL, then nightly call POST /listFailedIPNs and POST /resendFailedIPN for each entry

AI Agent Crypto Treasury via Jentic

A treasury agent receives a user request 'send 0.1 ETH to this address from our hot wallet'. Through Jentic, the agent searches for a send-eth operation, loads the input schema, and calls /sendEthereum with credentials from the Jentic vault. The agent never sees the raw API key and the developer doesn't have to wire a custom Authorization header for each tool.

Use Jentic to search 'send eth to an address', load the operation backed by POST /sendEthereum, and execute it with the recipient and amount

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Chaingateway API keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and added to the Authorization header at execution time. Agents receive scoped access only — the raw key never enters the agent's context window or prompt history.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g., 'create an ethereum address' or 'send eth to a recipient') and Jentic returns the matching Chaingateway operation with its input schema, so the agent posts the right body to the right endpoint without scraping the docs.

Time to first call

Direct Chaingateway integration: half a day for key handling, IPN callback verification, and retry logic. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Chaingateway.io API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Chaingateway.io API use?

The API uses an API key passed in the Authorization header, issued after registration at chaingateway.io. Through Jentic, the key is held in the Jentic vault and added to outgoing requests at execution time so it never enters the agent's prompt or context window.

Can I send ETH or ERC-20 tokens from a server with the Chaingateway API?

Yes. POST /sendEthereum sends ETH and POST /sendToken sends an ERC-20 token from a managed address inside the account. Use POST /getEthereumBalance or POST /getTokenBalance first to confirm sufficient funds before each transfer.

How do I get notified when a Chaingateway address receives funds?

Call POST /subscribeAddress with the address and your IPN callback URL, and Chaingateway will POST a notification to that URL when the address receives ETH or tokens. POST /listFailedIPNs and POST /resendFailedIPN cover retry logic so temporary outages on the callback side do not lose events.

What are the rate limits for the Chaingateway.io API?

Rate limits are tied to your Chaingateway plan rather than published as a single number in this spec. Watch for 429 responses with Retry-After headers and keep IPN callbacks idempotent so a retry storm does not double-credit a deposit.

How do I generate a new Ethereum deposit address through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'create a new ethereum address', load the operation backed by POST /newAddress, and execute it with the optional label. Jentic injects the Authorization header so the agent receives the typed address payload.

Does Chaingateway.io support importing an existing private key?

Yes. POST /importAddress imports an existing keypair into the account, and POST /exportAddress retrieves the corresponding key material later. Pair with POST /listAddresses to enumerate everything currently held by the account, and use POST /deleteAddress or POST /clearAddress to remove entries when no longer needed.
