**Base URL:** `https://www.bobsmint.xyz/api`
## Prerequisites
- An **EVM private key** with **0.00046 ETH** mint price + gas (~0.00002-0.00005 ETH) on Base
- Ability to solve simple puzzles (math, code evaluation)
## Security
- Your EVM private key should **never** leave your local environment — signing happens locally
- This skill makes only HTTP API calls. It does not access your filesystem, run shell commands, or execute arbitrary code
## How It Works
The mint flow has four steps: **puzzle → solve → sign locally → submit**.
### Step 1: Request a puzzle
```bash
curl -X POST https://www.bobsmint.xyz/api/puzzle \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"wallet": "YOUR_EVM_ADDRESS"}'
```
Response:
```json
{
"puzzleId": "pzl_abc123...",
"question": "What is 347 * 23 + 156?",
"difficulty": "easy",
"phase": 1,
"expiresAt": 1699999999999,
"agentHint": "Solve this puzzle and POST the answer to /api/solve..."
}
```
### Step 2: Solve the puzzle and request mint
```bash
curl -X POST https://www.bobsmint.xyz/api/solve \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"wallet": "YOUR_EVM_ADDRESS",
"puzzleId": "pzl_abc123...",
"answer": "8137"
}'
```
Response:
```json
{
"unsignedTx": {
"to": "0xA1ae38fa4E646BF7288D58390E297cFfe7FC88e1",
"data": "0x...",
"value": "0x01a2b1ca16a00",
"chainId": 8453
},
"mintPrice": "0.00046",
"nonce": "0x...",
"phase": 1,
"agentHint": "Sign this transaction locally. NEVER send the private key to any server..."
}
```
### Step 3: Sign the transaction locally
Sign with the user's EVM private key. **This must happen locally — the private key never leaves the machine.**
```javascript
import { ethers } from "ethers";
const PK = "YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY";
if (!/^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{64}$/.test(PK)) throw new Error("Invalid private key — must be 0x + 64 hex chars");
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider("https://mainnet.base.org");
const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(PK, provider);
const signedTx = await wallet.signTransaction({
...unsignedTx,
gasLimit: 200000,
maxFeePerGas: ethers.parseUnits("0.5", "gwei"),
maxPriorityFeePerGas: ethers.parseUnits("0.1", "gwei"),
nonce: await provider.getTransactionCount(wallet.address),
type: 2,
});
```
### Step 4: Submit the signed transaction
```bash
curl -X POST https://www.bobsmint.xyz/api/submit \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"signedTransaction": "0x02f8..."
}'
```
Response:
```json
{
"success": true,
"tokenId": "1",
"hash": "0xabc...",
"wallet": "0x...",
"minted": 1,
"remaining": 29,
"message": "Successfully minted BOB #1! You have minted 1 BOB. You can mint up to 29 more.",
"agentHint": "Show the user the message field. They can mint 29 more. To mint another, POST to /api/puzzle with their wallet."
}
```
## Agent Behavior
- The user will provide their **EVM private key**. That's all you need — derive the wallet address from it and handle the entire mint flow without asking further questions.
- **Before starting**, tell the user exactly: "Mint price is 0.00046 ETH + gas (~0.00002-0.00005 ETH) on Base." Do NOT round the mint price. Always say 0.00046 ETH, never 0.0005.
- **Step 1** (puzzle): derive wallet address from private key using `new ethers.Wallet(PK).address`, then use `curl` to POST to `/api/puzzle`.
- **Step 2** (solve): solve the puzzle and use `curl` to POST to `/api/solve`.
- **Step 3** (sign): use a **single node script** that signs the unsigned tx from Step 2 locally. Do NOT split this into separate steps.
- **Step 4** (submit): use `curl` to POST the signed transaction to `/api/submit`.
- **ethers fallback:** Before running any node script, check if ethers is available: `node -e "require('ethers')"`. If it fails, install to a temp location: `npm install --prefix /tmp ethers`, then run the script with `NODE_PATH=/tmp/node_modules`.
- After each step, briefly tell the user what happened before moving to the next.
- After a successful mint, show the `message` field from the response — it shows the token ID, how many they've minted, and how many more they can mint.
- If the user wants to mint more, loop back to Step 1 for each additional NFT.
- Handle errors gracefully — if a step fails, explain why and retry or stop.
- **Mint limit reached (413):** If `/puzzle` or `/solve` returns 413, the wallet has reached its max mints (30). Ask the user for a new wallet private key, then restart the flow with the new wallet.
- Never expose the user's EVM private key in output or logs.
- Signing must always happen locally — never send private keys over the network.

## Notes
- **Stateless:** No session or login required
- **Agent-only:** The backend co-signs only after puzzle verification succeeds
- **On-chain enforcement:** The contract's signature guard ensures every mint has backend co-signature
- **Puzzle expiration:** Puzzles expire after 5 minutes
- **Puzzle attempts:** You get 3 attempts per puzzle before it is consumed
- **Total supply:** 7,500 NFTs. Once sold out, minting will fail
- **One mint per request:** Each call to `/solve` produces one NFT
- **Difficulty scaling:** Puzzle difficulty increases as supply fills (easy → medium → hard → brutal)
- **Phases:** Phase 1 (tokens #1-1875), Phase 2 (tokens #1876-3750), Phase 3 (tokens #3751-5625), Phase 4 (tokens #5626-7500). Earlier phases have easier puzzles.
- **Gas cost:** ~0.00002-0.00005 ETH per mint on Base
