Zerion: Wallet Intelligence for AI Agents

Zerion provides interpreted, enriched crypto wallet data across 41+ chains including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Solana, and more.

Unlike raw RPC data, Zerion returns:

• USD values for all positions
• Protocol labels (Uniswap, Aave, Lido, etc.)
• Human-readable transaction types (swap, stake, bridge, mint, burn)
• PnL calculations (realized, unrealized, per-asset, FIFO method)
• DeFi position breakdowns (deposits, borrows, LP positions with group_id)
• NFT portfolios with floor prices and collection metadata
• Spam filtering built-in

Two ways to access:

• x402 (no account needed): Pay $0.01 USDC per request on Base. No API key, no signup.
• API key: Get a free key instantly at dashboard.zerion.io for higher rate limits.

Research → Execute Pattern

Zerion is the research layer. Use it to analyze wallets, find opportunities, track PnL. Then hand off to Bankr for execution (swaps, stop-losses, DCA).

Zerion (Research)          Bankr (Execute)
─────────────────         ────────────────
Portfolio analysis   →    Rebalance trades
PnL tracking         →    Stop-loss orders
Position monitoring  →    Take-profit orders
Whale watching       →    Copy trades
Swap quotes          →    Execute best route
NFT floor tracking   →    Buy/sell NFTs

CLI Quick Start

npm install -g zerion-cli

# Set API key

x402 allows agents to pay per request without API keys. Payment is $0.01 USDC on Base.

// Using x402 HTTP flow
const response = await fetch('https://api.zerion.io/v1/wallets/0x.../portfolio', {

  -H "X-Env: testnet"

---

Integration with Bankr

Example: PnL Guardian

Monitor positions and auto-set stop-losses:

#!/bin/bash
# Research with Zerion
positions=$(zerion-cli wallet positions $WALLET --json)

# Find volatile tokens on Base
risky=$(echo $positions | jq '[.data[] | select(.relationships.chain.data.id == "base") | select(.attributes.value > 500)]')

# Execute with Bankr
for token in $(echo $risky | jq -r '.[].attributes.fungible_info.symbol'); do
  bankr "set stop loss on $token at -20%"
done

Example: Whale Copy Trading

Watch a whale wallet and mirror trades:

// Webhook handler
app.post('/webhook/zerion', async (req, res) => {
  const { type, data } = req.body;

  if (type === 'transaction' && data.operation_type === 'trade') {
    const { transfers } = data;
    const bought = transfers.find(t => t.direction === 'in');

    if (bought && bought.value > 1000) {
      // Mirror the trade via Bankr
      await bankr(`buy $100 of ${bought.fungible_info.symbol}`);
    }
  }
});

Example: Best Swap Route

Get quotes from Zerion, execute via Bankr:

// Get swap quote from Zerion
const quote = await zerion.get('/v1/swap/offers', {
  params: { from: 'USDC', to: 'ETH', amount: '1000' }
});

const bestRate = quote.data[0];
console.log(`Best rate: ${bestRate.rate} from ${bestRate.provider}`);

// Execute via Bankr
await bankr(`swap $1000 USDC to ETH on base`);
