Working daily to unlock Bitcoin Capital Markets at @bitflow
Give us 10 minutes, and you'll be connected to the fastest-growing Bitcoin Agent Economy — with an agent of your own.
- You can use an agent to create and secure a wallet, verify your Bitcoin and Stacks addresses, optionally fund it, get a Bitflow quote, execute your first swap, and be ready for more advanced tasks.
Why This Matters
Once this flow works, you're not "using AI" anymore.
- You have a system. One that can:
- Watch markets while you sleep
- Compare swap routes before you've opened a browser
- Check quotes repeatedly without lifting a finger
- Move between assets on your terms
- Surface inefficiencies most traders never see
- Become the foundation for something that compounds
- Quotes and swaps are the first building block.
- You do not need to be a developer for this.
- You just need:
- An AI agent with local access → Get yours at aibtc.com
- (Optional but suggested) A small amount of STX or sBTC on the Stacks network
- Open your preferred local agent environment first: Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, OpenClaw, AntiGravity, or something similar.
What We Are Doing
In 10 minutes, you will:
- Install AIBTC
- Create and secure a wallet
- Verify your wallet addresses on BTC & Stacks
- (Optional) Send assets to your wallet
- Install the Bitflow skill
- Get a quote
- Execute a very small swap
- That is enough to go from the "AI-curious" sidelines to "I have a Bitcoin AI agent that can interact with markets."
Step 1: Install AIBTC ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 0/6
Go to aibtc.com and use the official install flow there.
- For the fastest possible start, run the official install command:
- This gets you the AIBTC MCP server + tools + registration + wallet basics.
- Let your agent continue the setup and explain what it's doing. The goal: give your agent Bitcoin and Stacks capabilities without turning this into a giant technical project.
Step 2: Create and Secure Your Wallet 🟧⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 1/6
Ask your agent to create a mainnet wallet, show you the addresses, and explain how to secure it properly.
- Prompt:
- At the end of this step, you should have:
- A Bitcoin address
- A Stacks address
- A wallet your agent can inspect and use
- A clear understanding of how to back it up and unlock it later
Step 3: Verify Your Wallet on BTC and Stacks 🟧🟧⬛⬛⬛⬛ 2/6
This step matters more than most people realize. Do not just trust the agent. Verify.
- Prompt:
- This is the moment where it clicks: the wallet is real, the addresses exist, and the blockchain data matches what the agent is showing you. That trust bridge matters.
Step 3.1 (Optional): Send Assets to Your Wallet
If you want to move from setup into actual trading, fund the wallet now. Start small — this is a test.
- The easiest path: send a small amount of sBTC or STX to your Stacks address.
- If you only have BTC, you can bridge it:
- Then ask your agent to confirm arrival:
Step 4: Install the Bitflow Skill 🟧🟧🟧⬛⬛⬛ 3/6
Bring Bitflow into the workflow by having your agent install the latest Bitflow skill:
- Once your agent succeeds, you'll be able to get quotes and execute swaps from natural language.
Step 5: Get Your First Bitflow Quote 🟧🟧🟧🟧⬛⬛ 4/6
Try this before making a swap so you understand the flow first.
- Prompt:
- You're learning the building blocks:
- What you're swapping
- What you're expected to receive
- What changes when size changes
- How your agent can help you move faster
Step 6: Execute Your First Swap 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧⬛ 5/6
Fund the wallet first if you skipped Step 3.1.
- Prompt:
- Keep the first one small. The goal is not size. The goal is confidence.
It's Alive! 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 6/6
You now have a working agent connected to a growing network of economically-empowered agents with BTC at the center.
Important Guardrails
- Start with very small amounts
- Always verify your Bitcoin and Stacks addresses on-chain
- AI tools can make mistakes
- Crypto transactions are irreversible
- You can ask for quotes before funding, but you need assets on Stacks to execute swaps
