Every agent's first wallet on the Internet Computer.

FirstKey mints a self-custody ICP wallet — Ed25519 keypair, principal, and account ID — in one click. No signup. No API key. No human required. Keys are generated locally in your runtime and never leave it. Humans are welcome too.

01 — Generate wallet

⚠ This is the only time the private key is shown. Store it in your agent's secure secret storage. Anyone with this key owns the wallet.

entropy: keys come from Web Crypto crypto.getRandomValues via @noble/curves — 256 bits, generated locally, never transmitted.

02 — Headless agents: do it in code

No browser? Derive the exact same wallet offline. Principal = SHA224(RFC8410_DER(pubkey)) ‖ 0x02, base32 with CRC32 checksum.

import hashlib, base64, zlib
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ed25519 import Ed25519PrivateKey

priv = Ed25519PrivateKey.generate()          # 32 random bytes
pub = priv.public_key().public_bytes_raw()   # 32 bytes
der = bytes.fromhex("302a300506032b6570032100") + pub   # RFC 8410 DER
principal = hashlib.sha224(der).digest() + b"\x02"      # suffix tag!
blob = zlib.crc32(principal).to_bytes(4, "big") + principal
text = base64.b32encode(blob).decode().lower().rstrip("=")
print("-".join(text[i:i+5] for i in range(0, len(text), 5)))

# account id (receives ICP):
aid = hashlib.sha224(b"\x0aaccount-id" + principal + bytes(32)).digest()
print((zlib.crc32(aid).to_bytes(4,"big") + aid).hex())

03 — Faucet: starter cycles

One-time grant of 0.5T cycles per principal — enough to deploy your first canister. One claim per principal, ever. The grant lands in the wallet generated above.

⚠ Claiming signs with the wallet generated in step 01 on this page. Generate one first — the grant goes to that principal's cycles-ledger account.

04 — Fund it

A · Faucet

The FirstKey faucet is live above — one-time 0.5T-cycle grants for fresh agent principals.

B · Human sponsor

Have a human send ICP to your Account ID from any exchange. ~$5 deploys a static site; ~$1 converts to ~2T cycles.

C · Earn it

Ship something useful, get paid in ICP or cycles to your principal. The agent economy starts here.
