| description | Hosted-gateway LLM router — save 67% on inference costs. A local proxy that forwards each request to the blockrun.ai gateway, which routes to the cheapest capable model across 55+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, NVIDIA, and more. 8 free NVIDIA models included. Also exposes realtime market data (global stocks, crypto, FX, commodities), Twitter/X intelligence, and Polymarket prediction market data as built-in agent tools. Not a local-inference tool — prompts are sent to the blockrun.ai gateway. |

ClawRouter
Hosted-gateway LLM router that saves 67% on inference costs by forwarding each request to the blockrun.ai gateway, which picks the cheapest model capable of handling it across 55+ models from 9 providers (8 free NVIDIA models). All billing flows through one USDC wallet; you do not hold provider API keys.
This is not a local-inference tool. ClawRouter is a thin local proxy. Your prompts are sent over HTTPS to the blockrun.ai gateway for model execution. If your workload requires inference that never leaves your machine, use a local runtime like Ollama — ClawRouter is not the right tool for that use case.

Data Flow
Your app → localhost proxy (ClawRouter) → https://blockrun.ai/api (or sol.blockrun.ai/api)
↓
OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / etc.
↓
Response → back through proxy → your app
Sent to blockrun.ai on every request: the model name, the full prompt/messages body, sampling params (temperature, max_tokens, tools, etc.), and an X-PAYMENT header containing a signed x402 USDC micropayment.
Not sent: your wallet private key (only the detached payment signature is sent), any other local files, environment variables, or OpenClaw config beyond what's needed for this request.
Blockrun's privacy stance: https://blockrun.ai/privacy. Treat prompts the same way you'd treat prompts sent to any hosted LLM API (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) — do not send data you would not share with a third-party API provider.
Credentials & Local Key Storage
ClawRouter does not collect or forward third-party provider API keys. You do not supply OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, or NVIDIA credentials — the blockrun.ai gateway owns those relationships.
What models.providers.blockrun stores (fully enumerated):
| Field | Sensitive | Purpose |
|---|
walletKey | Yes | EVM private key used to sign USDC micropayments via x402. Auto-generated locally on first run — no user input required. Never transmitted over the network; only detached payment signatures are sent. |
solanaKey | Yes | Solana keypair (BIP-44 m/44'/501'/0'/0'). Auto-derived from the same local mnemonic via @scure/bip32 + @scure/bip39. |
gateway | No | Gateway URL. Defaults: https://blockrun.ai/api (Base) · https://sol.blockrun.ai/api (Solana). |
routing | No | Optional override of the default four-tier router. |
How and where keys are stored:
- Keys live in the OpenClaw user config file — typically
~/.config/openclaw/config.json on Linux, ~/Library/Application Support/openclaw/config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\openclaw\config.json on Windows — under the models.providers.blockrun path.
- Written by OpenClaw's standard config writer with
0600 permissions on POSIX systems (owner read/write only).
- Stored in plaintext, the same way every OpenClaw provider's API key is stored. ClawRouter does not add an extra encryption layer; your filesystem permissions are the security boundary. If you require an encrypted keystore, run OpenClaw on an encrypted volume (FileVault, LUKS, BitLocker) or use a dedicated burner wallet funded only with what you intend to spend.
- Auto-generation uses
@scure/bip39 to produce a 24-word mnemonic, then BIP-44 derivation for both chains. Source: src/wallet.ts.
Operational guidance: treat the wallet as a spending account with a small top-up, not a long-term store of value. Fund it with what you expect to spend on LLM calls. If the host machine is compromised, the wallet key is compromised — rotate and refund.
Supply-Chain Integrity
Install
openclaw plugins install @blockrun/clawrouter
The structured install block above tells OpenClaw to install the auditable npm package @blockrun/clawrouter. Source for every version is on GitHub; every release is tagged.
Setup
openclaw models set blockrun/auto
openclaw models set openai/gpt-4o
How Routing Works
ClawRouter classifies each request into one of four tiers:
- SIMPLE (40% of traffic) — factual lookups, greetings, translations → Gemini Flash ($0.60/M, 99% savings)
- MEDIUM (30%) — summaries, explanations, data extraction → DeepSeek Chat ($0.42/M, 99% savings)
- COMPLEX (20%) — code generation, multi-step analysis → Claude Opus ($75/M, best quality)
- REASONING (10%) — proofs, formal logic, multi-step math → o3 ($8/M, 89% savings)
Rules handle 80% of requests in <1ms. Only ambiguous queries hit the LLM classifier ($0.00003 per classification).
Available Models
55+ models including: gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4, gpt-4o, o3, claude-opus-4.7, claude-opus-4.6, claude-opus-4.5, claude-sonnet-4.6, gemini-3.1-pro, gemini-2.5-flash, deepseek-chat, grok-3, kimi-k2.6, kimi-k2.5, and 10 free NVIDIA models (gpt-oss-120b [default], gpt-oss-20b, mistral-small-4-119b, deepseek-v4-pro, deepseek-v4-flash, qwen3-next-80b-a3b-thinking, qwen3-coder-480b, glm-4.7, llama-4-maverick, nemotron-3-nano-omni-30b-a3b-reasoning [vision]).
Built-in Agent Tools
In addition to LLM routing, ClawRouter exposes BlockRun's x402-gated data APIs as ready-to-use OpenClaw tools. Every tool is paid from the same USDC wallet — no extra setup, no extra API keys.
Market Data
Realtime prices and historical OHLC across every asset class. The agent should call these directly instead of scraping finance sites.

Polymarket (Predexon)
Full prediction-market toolbox: live events, leaderboard, market search, smart money positioning, wallet analytics, and cross-market arbitrage matching (Polymarket ↔ Kalshi). 8 tools, $0.001–$0.005 per call. See blockrun_predexon_* in the tool list.
