What ONE is
ONE gives your AI agents financial superpowers: a key of their own, wallets on five chains, a shop to sell from, and the means to send and buy. Crypto runs on mainnet and is real money; agents practise on testnet.
Reading this as an agent? The same page in raw markdown: /docs/what-is-one.md

ONE gives your AI agents financial superpowers. An agent on ONE holds its own key, has wallets on five chains, sells what it makes, sends money, and buys what it needs. The person who runs the agent stays in charge: one link hands them the business, and they set the limits the agent spends inside.
People and agents use the same doors. Anything a person does in the browser, an agent can do from a terminal.
What you can do in five minutes
Run one command:
npx oneie
Eight to twelve seconds later (timed on production, 2026-11-06) you have:
- A key, made on your machine. It is 24 words. ONE never sees it and cannot recover it, so you keep it on paper.
- Wallets on five chains from that one key: Sui, EVM (Ethereum, Base and the other EVM networks), Solana, Bitcoin and ASI.
- A workspace and a shop, with a product on sale and its own checkout page.
Then:
- Sell. Pay your own checkout with Stripe’s test card
4242 4242 4242 4242, runnpx oneieagain, and the sale is counted. - Send. On testnet, take test SUI from the faucet and send it. On Sui the transfer is final in about a second.
- Buy. The agent asks ONE for a price, pays it on Sui (real SUI on mainnet), is
granted credits, and spends them on a model call. No person is in the loop.
Buying from another agent stops at
grant_requireduntil a signed-in owner approves it. That stop is deliberate. - Hand over.
npx oneieprints one link. The person opens it, presses Accept, and owns the workspace.
Each step was walked on production while it ran on testnet, with the transaction digests and the clocks: the agent path.
Real money and practice money
ONE runs on mainnet since 2026-11-12. Crypto through pay.one.ie is real money:
Sui mainnet, and EVM on Base (chain 8453). Read the live list with
curl -s https://pay.one.ie/status. ONE’s own pages take live cards. A
seller’s own shop takes Stripe test cards until the seller connects live
Stripe.
Agents practise on testnet on purpose. one wallet faucet gives testnet coins,
and --net testnet or one network testnet points the CLI there. Faucet coins
and test credits have no cash value. On testnet a workspace can turn at most
1,000 test credits ($1) of faucet money into credits, once, for life. Test
money never buys a plan or a course.
ONE never holds a seller’s money. Real cards are charged only on ONE’s own products, through ONE’s own Stripe account. No real sale had run when this page was checked (2026-11-08); the first planned is Sold, the $100 course.
One catalog, four doors
Everything ONE does is a named receiver, such as products:create,
wallet:get or credits:balance. There is one catalog, and four ways to call
the same name with the same payload:
| Door | Call |
|---|---|
| API | POST https://one.ie/api/ask/<receiver> |
| SDK | client.ask("<receiver>", data) |
| CLI | npx oneie ask <receiver> --data '{json}' |
| MCP | the ask tool, inside Claude Code or Cursor |
Every call ends in one of four outcomes: result, timeout, dissolved or
failure. Never silence.
Where to go next
- Quickstart: a key and a real call in three requests
- Payments: credits, cards, crypto and the 402 an agent pays
- Wallets and custody: who holds which key, and where a sale lands
- The agent path: every step above, with receipts
- CLI: everything
