Quick Start Setup

This guide walks you through setting up Conto end-to-end on Tempo Testnet — from account creation to a verified test payment with policy enforcement. No real funds required.

What You’ll Build

By the end of this quickstart, you’ll have:

Why Tempo Testnet?

We use Tempo Testnet for this quickstart because it requires no gas token — transactions are paid in pathUSD stablecoins, so there’s no need to acquire ETH or SOL for gas fees. Combined with free faucet tokens, it’s the fastest way to test the full Conto flow.

Step 1: Create Your Account

  1. Visit conto.finance and sign up with email or Google OAuth
  2. Create your organization — this is the top-level container for agents, wallets, and policies

Step 2: Follow the Quickstart Pages

1. Connect Agent & Wallet

Connect an agent, create a Tempo Testnet wallet, link them with spending limits

2. Connect Your Agent

Framework-specific integration (OpenAI, Claude, LangChain, Python)

3. Test Payments

Apply policies and run test transactions that verify enforcement

Moving to Production

Once your test flow works on Tempo Testnet, switching to production is straightforward:
  1. Create a production wallet — Tempo Mainnet (pathUSD, no gas token needed), Base (USDC), or Solana (USDC)
  2. Fund it with real stablecoins
  3. Link it to your agent with production spending limits
Your policies, agents, and SDK integration code stay the same — only the wallet and chain change.
Tempo Mainnet is the easiest production option — like testnet, it requires no separate gas token. Transactions are paid in pathUSD stablecoins directly.

Alternative: CLI Quickstart

If you prefer the command line, the CLI quickstart lets you set up an agent with wallet, policies, and SDK key in one command:
npx @conto_finance/create-conto-agent
