AC2 Getting Started Guide

 

An open protocol for verifiable, human-approved AI agent actions. To use it, you'll install two pieces: the AC2 Wallet app (where you review and approve requests with a FIDO2 passkey) and the AC2 OpenClaw plugin (which connects your agent to the AC2 wallet). Once both are set up, your agent can request signed approvals instead of holding raw credentials. Nothing sits in the runtime, and there's no standing token to leak, just a sign-off from your device each time.

Follow the steps below to install the wallet and plugin and run your first approval flow:

AC2 Wallet

  1. Download and install AC2 Wallet from Google Play Store/App Store 
  2. Allow passkey autofill in system settings. (the user will also be prompted upon first run of the application to follow this flow)
  3. Users should open the application and scan a pairing QR code to begin a chat with an agent, no further steps should be required.
  4. (optional) the user should top-up their Algorand wallet(generated by the app) either testnet/mainnet if they want to start testing x402 functionality for example.

AC2 Openclaw Plugin

  1. The assumption is that the user already has OpenClaw installed, if not they should visit https://openclaw.ai/#quickstart and follow the required steps
  2. Execute the following steps below in their terminal/cli. (this will automatically install the daemon as a dependency and get it running).
