# Beamswap

Let your AI trade on Base by itself inside limits you set, or use Beamswap for swaps, limit orders, alerts and token distributions.

**Approve once. Your AI trades on Base inside limits the chain enforces. You keep the keys to your funds.**

Beamswap gives your AI an [Agent Vault](https://docs.beamswap.io/agent-vaults): a vault on Base that you fund and cap. Your AI can trade inside it, but it can never withdraw. You can pause it, change the limits or take your funds out at any moment. You can also trade yourself on the website, check balances, set alerts and send tokens to a list. Use your preferred AI, the website or the API.

## What do you want to do?

* **Let my AI trade for me:** [set up an Agent Vault](https://docs.beamswap.io/agent-vaults) at [app.beamswap.io/agent/setup](https://app.beamswap.io/agent/setup).
* **Connect my AI:** [Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Codex or Cursor](https://docs.beamswap.io/connect-your-ai).
* **Swap or place a limit order myself:** [trade on Base or across chains](https://docs.beamswap.io/trade).
* **Send tokens to a list:** [prepare recipients and create a claim page](https://docs.beamswap.io/token-distributions).
* **Stake GLINT:** [unlock API benefits and lower fees](https://docs.beamswap.io/glint-staking).
* **Claim migrated GLINT:** [check your allocation](https://app.beamswap.io/claim).
* **Build an integration:** [API reference](https://docs.beamswap.io/api-reference).

## Four things to know

1. Beamswap works on **Base mainnet**. Cross-chain swaps and payout funding can start from Arbitrum, Optimism and Ethereum.
2. Agent Vaults are **not externally audited**. They passed internal reviews, Base fork tests and static analysis. Start with small limits. [Read what that covers](https://docs.beamswap.io/safety-and-permissions).
3. An agent trades only through its vault. Swaps and limit orders you make yourself on the website are signed by you in your wallet.
4. Pages marked **Legacy** describe the earlier Moonbeam product and do not describe current Base features.
