+# GenTech Labs — BlockRun Integration Patterns
+
+Real-world patterns from running BlockRun MCP in production across 32 cron jobs and daily agent operations.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Initial Wallet Setup
+
+```bash
+# Set up BlockRun wallet (one-time)
+blockrun_wallet(action="setup")
+# → Follow the QR to fund the wallet with USDC
+```
+
+### Budget Controls
+
+```python
+# Set a global budget cap so spending never surprises you
+blockrun_wallet(action="budget", budget_action="set", budget_amount=10.0)
+
+# Spawn child agents with delegate budgets
+blockrun_wallet(action="delegate", agent_id="researcher", agent_limit=2.0)
+blockrun_wallet(action="delegate", agent_id="data-poller", agent_limit=0.50)
+```
+
+### Check Balance
+
+```python
+blockrun_wallet(action="status")
+# → Two wallets: Base + Solana. Active chain shown. Check before expensive runs.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Daily Usage Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Regular Price Checks ($0.001 each)
+
+The cheapest BlockRun calls. Use them liberally.
+
+```python
+# Single price
+blockrun_price(action="price", category="crypto", symbol="BTC-USD")
+
+# Batch of prices
+blockrun_price(action="price", category="crypto", symbol="ETH-USD")
+blockrun_price(action="price", category="crypto", symbol="SOL-USD")
+
+# Free — discover available symbols
+blockrun_price(action="list", category="crypto", query="sol")
+```
+
+**Cost:** $0 per list call, $0.001 per price call. **Use `list` for free discovery.**
+
+### Pattern 2: Token Research Pipeline ($0.002–0.012)
+
+Combine free + cheap tools for a complete token picture.
+
+```python
+# 1. Free — DEX liquidity + volume (free endpoint)
+blockrun_dex({ query: "SOL" })
+
+# 2. $0.001 — CEX price
+blockrun_price(action="price", category="crypto", symbol="SOL-USD")
+
+# 3. $0.001 — Protocol TVL
+blockrun_defi({ path: "protocols" })
+blockrun_defi({ path: "protocol/jupiter" })
+
+# 4. $0.001 — Chain TVL
+blockrun_defi({ path: "chains" })
+```
+
+**Total: ~$0.003–0.004 per full token analysis.** Replace CoinGecko/CMC tabs entirely.
+
+### Pattern 3: Research + Synthesis ($0.010–0.035)
+
+Use Exa (neural search) + BlockRun Chat (second opinion) for thorough research.
+
+```python
+# 1. $0.01 — Neural web search with Exa
+blockrun_exa({ path: "search", body: {
+  query: "latest AI agent infrastructure developments 2026",
+  numResults: 10,
+  category: "research paper"
+}})
+
+# 2. $0.001 — Get second opinion from GLM-5 (excellent for technical details)
+blockrun_chat({ mode: "glm", message: "Summarize the key trends..." })
+```
+
+**Cost-conscious tip:** Use `mode: "free"` on `blockrun_chat` for zero-cost generation (NVIDIA models).
+
+### Pattern 4: Agent-to-Agent Billing
+
+Use `blockrun_wallet` + `agent_id` for multi-agent cost tracking.
+
+```python
+# Allocate budget per agent group
+blockrun_wallet(action="delegate", agent_id="research", agent_limit=2.0)
+blockrun_wallet(action="delegate", agent_id="content", agent_limit=1.0)
+
+# Pass agent_id on every call
+blockrun_surf({ path: "market/price", params: { symbol: "BTC" }, agent_id: "research" })
+blockrun_search({ body: { query: "latest news", sources: ["web"] }, agent_id: "research" })
+
+# Audit at end of day
+blockrun_wallet(action="report")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Multi-Tool Pipelines
+
+### DeFi Intelligence Pipeline
+
+```python
+# 1. TVL & protocol health ($0.001)
+blockrun_defi({ path: "protocol/aave-v3" })
+
+# 2. Yield pools ($0.001)
+blockrun_defi({ path: "yields" })
+
+# 3. Token price ($0.001)
+blockrun_price(action="price", category="crypto", symbol="AAVE-USD")
+
+# 4. DEX activity (free)
+blockrun_dex({ token: "0x7Fc66500c84A76Ad7e9c93437bFc5Ac33E2DDaE9" })
+```
+
+### Portfolio Health Check
+
+```python
+# 1. Current holdings (free — local data or blockrun_rpc)
+blockrun_rpc({ network: "base", method: "eth_getBalance", params: ["0xabc...", "latest"] })
+
+# 2. Token prices ($0.001 each)
+blockrun_price(action="price", category="crypto", symbol="ETH-USD")
+blockrun_price(action="price", category="crypto", symbol="USDC-USD")
+
+# 3. Prediction market positions ($0.001)
+blockrun_markets({ path: "polymarket/positions" })
+```
+
+### Content Generation Pipeline
+
+```python
+# 1. Research ($0.01)
+blockrun_exa({ path: "search", body: { query: "agentic commerce trends", numResults: 5 }})
+
+# 2. Image generation for post ($0.015 cheapest to $0.12 quality)
+blockrun_image({ prompt: "AI agent futuristic dashboard with neon grids" })
+
+# 3. Voiceover for video ($0.05/1k chars)
+blockrun_speech({ input: "Your narration text here...", voice: "sarah" })
+
+# 4. Music track ($0.1575)
+blockrun_music({ prompt: "upbeat synthwave background" })
+
+# 5. Short video clip ($0.40)
+blockrun_video({ prompt: "animated data visualization", duration_seconds: 8 })
+```

+| `blockrun_modal` | $0.001+ | remote sandbox execution |
+| `blockrun_phone` | $0.01–5.00 | phone lookups |
+
+### Daily Budget Formula (GenTech's Setup)
+
+```yaml
+# ~$0.30/day typical
+Daily budget:
+  Free tools:     unlimited (dex, list, wallet status)
+  Tier-1 data:   ~$0.05 (prices, defi, surf T1)
+  Tier-2 data:   ~$0.05 (surf T2, markets T1)
+  AI calls:      ~$0.10 (chat free mode, occasional glm)
+  Media:         ~$0.10 (occasional image/speech)
+  Total:         ~$0.30/day
+```
+
+Set a $5/week budget cap and never hit it with typical usage.
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling Patterns
+
+### 402 Payment Required (Expected — Not an Error)
+
+```python
+# BlockRun auto-handles this internally.
+# If a paid call returns 402, the SDK signs the challenge
+# and retries. No action needed.
+```
+
+### Insufficient Balance
+
+```python
+# Before a batch of expensive calls:
+balance = blockrun_wallet(action="status")
+if float(balance["usdcBalance"]) < 0.50:
+    blockrun_wallet(action="deposit")  # → opens Coinbase Onramp link
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting / Timeouts
+
+```python
+# For async operations (video, music):
+# They auto-poll until complete. If timeout, no charge.
+# Retry with same parameters.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Caching Strategy
+
+BlockRun calls are cheap but not free. Cache results that don't change minute-to-minute:
+
+- **Token prices:** Cache for 30–60 seconds (change faster but $0.001 each is negligible)
+- **Protocol TVL:** Cache for 1 hour (updates hourly)
+- **Wallet labels:** Cache for 24 hours (rarely change)
+- **On-chain SQL results:** Cache for 1 hour (most queries return the same answer)
+
+GenTech's approach: Don't bother caching prices ($0.001 is too cheap to cache). Cache TVL and wallet labels aggressively.
+
+---
+
+## Switching Chains
+
+```python
+# Default is Base. Switch to Solana for Solana-native tools:
+blockrun_wallet(action="chain", chain="solana")
+
+# Switch back:
+blockrun_wallet(action="chain", chain="base")
+
+# Check which is active:
+blockrun_wallet(action="chain")
+```
+
+**Note:** Base is required for music, speech, video, and realface. Solana works for price, wallet, dex, rpc, surf, etc.
