Baum

Set up your agent.

Baum makes you a Solana wallet and an EVM wallet the first time you ask. Fund one and it can trade for you, every trade confirmed by you in chat. You can bring a wallet you already have, too.

Get started

  1. Open Baum in Telegram and send /wallet

    The first time, Baum makes you two wallets: an EVM one and a Solana one. It replies with both addresses, each with a copy button.

  2. Fund the one you want to trade from

    Send to the EVM address for Robinhood Chain, with a little ETH there for gas. Send to the Solana address for Solana, with around 0.02 SOL for fees. Check the address on Baum’s reply before you send anything to it.

  3. Say what you want

    “Buy $20 of this token.” Baum shows you the trade and only sends it after you confirm it in chat.

  4. Back up the key

    Baum holds the keys to the wallets it makes. /wallet export <address> hands one back to you, so you own that wallet outside the chat too. Import it into Phantom, MetaMask or any wallet app, and keep it somewhere only you can reach.

Managing your wallets

You can hold several wallets on each chain. Baum trades from the default one unless you name another.

/wallet
List your wallets and their addresses.
/wallet new evm · /wallet new solana
Make another wallet.
/wallet name <address> <name>
Give a wallet a short name, so two are easy to tell apart.
/wallet export <address>
Get that wallet's private key back.
/wallet forget <address>
Delete Baum's copy of a key. You always keep at least one per chain.
/wallet <private key>
Add a wallet you already have (see below).
/disconnect
Remove everything. Baum offers to send your funds out first.

Bring your own wallet

Optional. If you would rather Baum trade from a wallet you already have, you can give it that wallet’s private key. Read this first.

Your private key is the wallet

A private key is not a password — it is the wallet. Anyone holding it can move everything in that wallet, from any app, with no further confirmation from you.

  • Giving it to Baum cannot really be taken back. /wallet forget deletes our copy, but a key cannot be revoked — the only way to undo it is to move your funds to a wallet whose key you never gave out.
  • Baum stores it encrypted and signs only swaps you confirm in chat, and it never leaves as anything but a signature. That is our handling of it, not a guarantee about the key itself.
  • Only ever paste it into your own Telegram chat with Baum. Never send it to anyone who asks — including anyone claiming to be Baum support, because we will never ask.
  • Use a wallet you are willing to trade from, not your main store of value. The wallets Baum makes for you are a perfectly good alternative.

  1. Open the wallet app that holds the funds

    Phantom, Solflare, MetaMask, Rabby — whichever one you already use. It needs to be the wallet you actually want Baum trading from.

  2. Find the export screen

    It is usually under settings, on the wallet or account itself, and called Export private key, Show private key or Reveal secret key. Expect a password prompt and a warning screen — that warning is telling you the truth.

  3. Make sure it is the Solana key

    A wallet app can hold several accounts on several chains, and they are different keys. Pick the Solana one — this is the one Baum can trade with.

  4. Do not export a seed phrase

    A recovery or seed phrase is twelve or twenty-four words and covers every wallet you have ever made in that app. Baum does not take one and you should not paste one anywhere. You want the single account’s private key.

  5. Copy the key

    It looks like a long string of letters and numbers with no 0x in front (some wallets show it as a list of numbers in square brackets instead — either is fine). Copy all of it, and nothing around it.

  6. Send it to Baum on Telegram

    Send /wallet <paste the key> in your Telegram chat with Baum. Baum works out which chain it is, stores it encrypted, adds it alongside the wallets you already have, and deletes your message. Baum will not take a key over SMS — text messages cross carriers that keep them.

  7. Check the address Baum reads back

    Baum replies with the wallet address it derived from the key. Compare it to the Solana address your wallet app shows. If they do not match, you exported a different account — send /wallet forget <address> and start again.

  8. Leave some gas in it

    Baum pays network fees from this wallet, so it needs a little SOL sitting in it — around 0.02 SOL covers a good number of swaps. A wallet holding only tokens cannot trade, and Baum will tell you so rather than guessing.

Every wallet app words this differently — look for private key, not recovery phrase. This works on your phone; it needs no developer tools.
