Iwa

PyPI version Docker Pulls Python 3.12+ Tests Coverage License: MIT

Iwa (岩), meaning "rock" in Japanese, symbolizes the unshakeable stability and immutable foundation required for secure financial infrastructure.



Iwa is a Python framework designed for managing crypto wallets and interacting with smart contracts and crypto protocols in a secure, modular, and extensible way. It's ideal for building autonomous agents and applications that require blockchain interactions.

Features

  • Secure Key Storage: Private keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stored safely. They are never exposed to the application layer; signing happens internally via the KeyStorage class.

  • Modularity (Plugins): Protocols and features are implemented as plugins, loaded dynamically. Currently supports Gnosis (Safe, CowSwap) and Olas (Registry, Services, Staking).

  • Multi-Chain Support: Native support for Gnosis Chain, Ethereum, and Base, with easy extensibility for others.

  • Robust Transaction Management:

    • RPC Rotation: Automatically switches RPC providers if one fails or is rate-limited.
    • Rate Limiting: Token bucket algorithm with automatic backoff.
    • Retry Logic: Automatic retries with exponential backoff for transient failures.
  • MCP Server: Expose all wallet and Olas operations as Model Context Protocol tools, enabling AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to interact with the blockchain directly.

  • CLI & TUI Integration: Interact with your wallet via a unified CLI or a beautiful Terminal User Interface built with Textual.

  • Web API: RESTful API built with FastAPI for web-based integrations.

  • Modern Tooling: Managed with uv, Justfile for automation, and ready for Docker deployment.

Key Components

Component Description
KeyStorage Encrypts/decrypts private keys, provides internal signing
Wallet Main high-level interface for user interactions
ChainInterface Manages Web3 connections with rate limiting and RPC rotation
TransactionService Handles transaction signing and sending with retry logic
PluginService Dynamically loads and manages protocol plugins

Setup & Usage

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.12+
  • uv package manager

Installation

# Install from PyPI
pip install iwa

# Or using uv (recommended for tools)
uv tool install iwa

# Or from source
git clone https://github.com/dvilelaf/iwa.git
cd iwa
just install

Configuration

Create a secrets.env file with your configuration:

WALLET_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
GNOSIS_RPC=https://rpc.gnosis.io,https://gnosis.drpc.org
ETHEREUM_RPC=https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_KEY
BASE_RPC=https://mainnet.base.org

# Testing mode (default: true uses Tenderly test RPCs)
TESTING=false

# Optional
COINGECKO_API_KEY=your_api_key

Running

# Launch TUI
just tui

# Launch Web UI
just web

# Use CLI
iwa wallet list --chain gnosis

# Start MCP server (for AI agent integration)
iwa mcp --transport sse --port 18080

MCP Agent Integration

The MCP server exposes 40 tools covering wallet operations, Olas service management, and staking. Example agent scripts for Claude, OpenAI GPT, and Gemini are in scripts/mcp/:

# Start the MCP server
iwa mcp --transport sse --port 18080

# Claude (pip install anthropic)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
python scripts/mcp/claude_agent.py

# OpenAI GPT (pip install openai)
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
python scripts/mcp/openai_agent.py

# Gemini (pip install google-generativeai)
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=AIza...
python scripts/mcp/gemini_agent.py

See MCP documentation for the full tool reference and Claude Desktop configuration.

Running Tests

Security Checks

just security      # Runs gitleaks, bandit, and pip-audit
just wallet-check  # Verifies password, keys, and mnemonic integrity

Docker

# Pull from Docker Hub
docker pull dvilelaf/iwa:latest

# Build locally
just docker-build
just docker-run

Plugins

Plugins are located in src/iwa/plugins. Currently supported:

Gnosis Plugin

  • Safe: Create and manage Safe multisig wallets
  • CowSwap: Token swaps via CoW Protocol with MEV protection, Max balance support, and auto-refreshing UI

Olas Plugin

  • Registry: Interact with Olas service registry
  • Services: Create, deploy, and manage Olas services
  • Staking: Stake/unstake services and claim rewards

Transaction Flow

  1. Preparation: A high-level method prepares a raw transaction dictionary
  2. Delegation: The transaction is passed to TransactionService
  3. Signing: KeyStorage decrypts the key in memory, signs, and wipes the key
  4. Sending: The signed transaction is sent via ChainInterface
  5. Recovery: Automatic RPC rotation and gas bumping on failures
  6. Receipt: Transaction receipt is returned upon success
