One call. Yield starts.
import { ClicksClient } from '@clicks-protocol/sdk';
const clicks = new ClicksClient(signer);
await clicks.quickStart('100', agentAddress);
// 80 USDC → agent wallet (instant)
// 20 USDC → treasury yield routeThat's it. No config. No dashboard. No human required.
What Clicks does
Every USDC payment your agent receives gets auto-split:
Payment in
├── 80% → Agent Wallet (liquid, instant)
└── 20% → DeFi Yield (Aave V3 or Morpho, auto-routed to best APY)
│
└── Withdraw anytime → Agent gets principal + yield (minus 2% fee on yield only)- No lockup. Withdraw anytime.
- No manual steps. Fully autonomous.
- 2% fee on yield only. Never on principal.
- Auto-rebalances between Aave V3 and Morpho for best APY.
Install
npm install @clicks-protocol/sdk ethers@^6x402 + Coinbase Agentic Wallets
Clicks is designed to sit after x402-style payment flows on Base.
x402 handles authorization and payment. Clicks routes USDC after receipt:
import { ClicksClient } from '@clicks-protocol/sdk';
import { CoinbaseWalletSDK } from '@coinbase/wallet-sdk';
const wallet = new CoinbaseWalletSDK({ appName: 'YourAgent' });
const signer = wallet.makeWeb3Provider().getSigner();
const clicks = new ClicksClient(signer);
await clicks.quickStart('1000', agentAddress);
// Your agent now has a settlement policy
// 80% liquid for operations
// 20% routed through treasury yield- Same chain (Base), same USDC contract
- 80% liquid for operations
- 20% routed through treasury yield
- No lockup, withdraw anytime
SDK
Quick Start (recommended)
One call: registers agent, approves USDC, splits first payment.
const result = await clicks.quickStart('100', agentAddress);
// result.registered → true (skips if already done)
// result.approved → true (skips if allowance sufficient)
// result.paymentSplit → trueIndividual operations
// Register
await clicks.registerAgent(agentAddress);
// Approve USDC spending
await clicks.approveUSDC('max');
// Receive payment (auto-splits)
await clicks.receivePayment('500', agentAddress);
// Check yield info
const info = await clicks.getYieldInfo();
// { activeProtocol: 'Morpho', aaveAPY: 700, morphoAPY: 950, ... }
// Withdraw everything
await clicks.withdrawYield(agentAddress);
// Custom yield split (5-50%)
await clicks.setOperatorYieldPct(30); // 30% to yield, 70% liquidRead-only (no signer needed)
const clicks = new ClicksClient(provider); // provider, not signer
const agent = await clicks.getAgentInfo(agentAddress);
// { isRegistered: true, deposited: 1000000n, yieldPct: 20n }
const split = await clicks.simulateSplit('100', agentAddress);
// { liquid: 80000000n, toYield: 20000000n }MCP Server
AI agents can discover and use Clicks via MCP:
npm install @clicks-protocol/mcp-server
CLICKS_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... clicks-mcp16 tools available: `clicks_quick_start`, `clicks_register_referral`, `clicks_get_agent_info`, `clicks_simulate_split`, `clicks_get_yield_info`, `clicks_get_referral_stats`, `clicks_verify_receipt`, `clicks_get_settlement_status`, `clicks_reconcile_settlement`, `clicks_replay_policy`, `clicks_get_receipt_trail`, `clicks_receive_payment`, `clicks_withdraw_yield`, `clicks_register_agent`, `clicks_set_yield_pct`, `clicks_explain`
Works with Claude, Cursor, LangChain, and any MCP-compatible client.
Referral Network
Referral contracts exist on-chain. Treat them as a separate attribution layer from the current SDK `quickStart()` helper.
| Level | Share of protocol fee |
|---|---|
| L1 (direct referral) | 40% |
| L2 | 20% |
| L3 | 10% |
| Treasury | 30% |
The referred agent pays nothing extra. Rewards come from the 2% protocol fee once referral attribution has been registered through a dedicated flow.
Recommended flow:
const deadline = BigInt(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 3600);
const signature = await clicks.signReferralApproval(agentAddress, referrerAddress, deadline);
const result = await clicks.quickStartWithReferral(
'100',
agentAddress,
referrerAddress,
deadline,
signature,
);Important:
- `quickStart()` handles treasury setup.
- `registerReferralWithSig()` handles explicit attribution.
- `quickStartWithReferral()` is a convenience wrapper over those two steps, not an atomic one-shot contract call.

ERC-8004 Trustless Agent
Clicks is registered on the ERC-8004 Identity Registry on Base as agentId 45074. On-chain reputation accrues per completed agent job. Attestors who follow the Clicks Attestor Schema V1 become eligible for the reputation-aware fee multiplier (shipping in V5).
