# Argos Bot CTS Bridge API – Direct Job Submission

> Argos Bot CTS Bridge API – Direct Job Submission is a paid API for AI agents from bridge-api.argosbot.io, paid per call via x402, $0.012/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-17).

Submits a signed bridging job to transfer tokens between Arc (chain 5042) and Base (chain 8453) using Circle's CTS/CCTP infrastructure, optionally setting up ownerless wrapper connections.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability argos-bot-cts-bridge-api-direct-job-submission-cd251503 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Bridge 50.0 USDC from my wallet 0xAbC1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef123456 on Arc (chain 5042) to Base using transfer mode — allow setup if needed, I acknowledge the transfer risks, and cap gas at 500000000000000000 atomic units and forwarding fees at 100000000000000000 atomic units.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically bridge tokens between Arc (chain 5042) and Base (chain 8453) using Circle's CTS/CCTP infrastructure, especially when you need to handle ownerless wrapper setup automatically. Prefer this over generic bridge APIs when you are specifically working with the Arc network and need CTS-backed cross-chain transfers with controlled gas and fee budgets.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-EOA account address returns validation error
- Expired authorization timestamp causes job rejection
- Mismatched EIP-712 signature fails authentication
- Unsupported chain ID (not 5042 or 8453) returns schema validation error
- Insufficient gas budget causes transaction failure on-chain
- allowSetup=false when wrapper is missing causes setup failure
- riskAcknowledged not set to true blocks job submission
- Duplicate clientRequestId may conflict with existing job

## How this service works

Look up bridges, create ownerless wrappers and bridge tokens between Arc and Base using Circle’s CTS and CCTP infrastructure.

## Output

A JSON response containing the submitted job's status, job identifier, and transaction details related to the CTS/CCTP bridging operation, including setup results if an ownerless wrapper was deployed.
