Prerequisites

Set private key:

export EVM_PRIVATE_KEY="0x..."  # For Base
# OR
export SVM_PRIVATE_KEY="..."    # For Solana

Sufficient USDC balance: Ensure your wallet has enough USDC for all payments plus network fees.
Valid recipients: All usernames must exist on the specified platform.

Error Handling

If a payment fails, the command continues with remaining payments:

[2/5] Sending 0.05 USDC to @invalid_user on X...
❌ Failed - User not found

[3/5] Sending 0.10 USDC to @valid_user on X...
✅ Success - txn: 0xabc...

The final summary shows success/failure counts.

Limits

Minimum per payment: 0.01 USDC (1¢)
Recommended batch size: Up to 100 payments per batch
Rate limits: May apply for very large batches

Tips

Test first: Start with a small batch to test your setup
Check balance: Calculate total amount + fees before running
Validate JSON: Ensure JSON files are properly formatted
Save receipts: Keep the receipt URLs for records
Use files: For large batches, JSON files are more manageable than comma-separated

send - Send to a single user
ai-agent - Use natural language for batch payments
