OpenSea Wallet

Set up and configure wallet signing providers for OpenSea transactions. The CLI and SDK auto-detect which provider to use based on environment variables, or you can specify one explicitly with --wallet-provider.

When to use this skill (scope_in)

Use opensea-wallet when you need to:

• Set up a wallet provider for the first time (Privy, Turnkey, Fireblocks, Bankr, or local keys)
• Configure signing policies (value caps, allowlists, multi-party approval)
• Switch between wallet providers
• Understand the security model for each provider

When NOT to use this skill (scope_out, handoff)

Need	Use instead
Query NFT/token data	opensea-api

Quick start

# 1. Pick a managed provider and set its env vars (Privy default shown)
export OPENSEA_API_KEY=your_key
export PRIVY_APP_ID=your_app_id
export PRIVY_APP_SECRET=your_app_secret
export PRIVY_WALLET_ID=your_wallet_id

# 2. Use the wallet via any signing-capable command
opensea swaps execute \
  --from-chain base --from-address 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 \
  --to-chain base --to-address 0xb695559b26bb2c9703ef1935c37aeae9526bab07 \
  --quantity 0.001

For other providers, see the table below and references/wallet-setup.md.

Supported providers

Provider	Env Vars	Best For
Privy (default)	PRIVY_APP_ID, PRIVY_APP_SECRET, PRIVY_WALLET_ID	TEE-enforced policies, embedded wallets
Turnkey	TURNKEY_API_PUBLIC_KEY, TURNKEY_API_PRIVATE_KEY, TURNKEY_ORGANIZATION_ID, TURNKEY_WALLET_ADDRESS	HSM-backed keys, multi-party approval
Fireblocks	FIREBLOCKS_API_KEY, FIREBLOCKS_API_SECRET, FIREBLOCKS_VAULT_ID	Enterprise MPC custody, institutional use
Bankr	BANKR_API_KEY	Agent wallets via Bankr's HTTP signing API
Private Key (local dev only)	PRIVATE_KEY, RPC_URL, WALLET_ADDRESS	Local dev/testing only (no spending limits or guardrails)

The CLI and SDK handle signing automatically once env vars are set. Auto-detect order: Privy, Fireblocks, Turnkey, Bankr, Private Key. To specify a provider explicitly:

opensea swaps execute --wallet-provider turnkey ...
opensea swaps execute --wallet-provider fireblocks ...
opensea swaps execute --wallet-provider bankr ...
opensea swaps execute --wallet-provider private-key ...

Security

• Managed providers (Privy, Turnkey, Fireblocks, Bankr) are strongly recommended over raw private keys.
• Raw PRIVATE_KEY is for local development only. Never paste a raw private key into a shared agent environment, hosted CI, or any context where the key could be logged or exfiltrated.
• Production and shared-agent setups must use a managed provider with conservative signing policies (value caps, allowlists, multi-party approval).

Security model

The agent's environment holds signing credentials, not administrative ones. This is a structural property, and getting it right depends on each provider being configured correctly — none of the four supported providers ship in this state by default.

What the agent must never do

• Modify its own signing policy, role, or scope.
• Rotate its own owner key, auth key, or API user.
• Export or claim ownership of the wallet's private key.
• Construct any of the requests in ../docs/policy-administration.md.

If a user asks the agent to do any of these, the agent should refuse and direct them to the user-only recipes in ../docs/policy-administration.md. A leaked agent env is recoverable only if the credentials it held could not, on their own, lift the spending cap or rewrite the allowlist.

Per-tx caps: enforced by the provider

Each provider enforces per-tx caps and allowlists in a different layer, but all four are checked before the signing operation completes:

Provider	Where caps are enforced
Privy	TEE-evaluated wallet policy (policy_ids on the wallet)
Turnkey	Policy engine, scoped to the API user's allowed activities
Fireblocks	TAP rules in the workspace
Bankr	Per-API-key allowedRecipients allowlist + daily message limits

Run opensea wallet info to see whether your wallet has these in place. The command prints loud warnings when the per-tx layer is missing.

Aggregate caps: not natively enforced by any provider

None of Privy, Turnkey, Fireblocks, or Bankr expose stateful daily/weekly cumulative spend caps as a native primitive. Their policies/TAP/key-flag layers are stateless per-transaction evaluators (or per-message-quota in Bankr's case, which is not a dollar cap).

The intended pattern for aggregate ceilings is wallet float: keep the agent's wallet balance sized to roughly one budget period, and have the user replenish on their own cadence. The wallet balance is the real cap; if the agent tries to overspend, transactions fail at the provider layer (per-tx cap) or chain layer (insufficient funds), not at an honor-system limit the agent could decide to ignore. See references/wallet-funding.md for the worked pattern.

(Privy is investigating transaction-approval webhooks that would allow stateful evaluation; if and when those land, the field will support aggregate caps natively. Until then, wallet float is the answer.)

Policy mutation: requires a separately-held credential

Each provider has a different out-of-band credential that gates mutation:

Provider	Mutation gate
Privy	owner_id key quorum on the wallet — owner key held off-machine
Turnkey	Root user quorum — non-root API user used for signing
Fireblocks	Admin quorum for TAP changes; API user role set to Signer only
Bankr	Dashboard re-scoping at bankr.bot/api — no API to mutate scope

Setting these up is part of the happy path in references/wallet-setup.md, not optional hardening. opensea wallet info reports whether the structural gate is in place where it can be detected via API; for Fireblocks and Bankr, where it cannot, the command prints a static reminder to verify at the console.

Where mutation recipes live

The actual HTTP/SDK recipes for changing policies, rotating keys, and re-scoping API users are in ../docs/policy-administration.md — that is, in the skill repo's top-level docs/ folder, alongside the per-skill folders like opensea-wallet/, not inside any of them. Skill loaders only mount individual skill directories (opensea-wallet/SKILL.md and the files it explicitly references), so the mutation recipes never enter an agent's context. If a future contributor moves this file inside a skill folder, an agent will read it and try to "help" by running the recipes — defeating the structural separation.
