♾️ Everclaw — AI Inference You Own, Forever Powering Your OpenClaw Agents
Access Kimi K2.5, Qwen3, GLM-4, Llama 3.3, and 10+ models with inference you own. Everclaw connects your OpenClaw agent to the Morpheus P2P network — stake MOR tokens, open sessions, and recycle your stake for persistent, self-sovereign access to AI.
⚠️ Name Collision Warning: A different product ("Everclaw Vault") uses the bare everclaw slug on ClawHub. Always use everclaw-inference — never clawhub install everclaw or clawhub update everclaw. See CLAWHUB_WARNING.md for details.
How It Works
Get MOR tokens on Base — swap from ETH/USDC via Uniswap or Aerodrome (see below)
You run a proxy-router (Morpheus Lumerin Node) locally as a consumer
The router connects to Base mainnet and discovers model providers
You stake MOR tokens to open a session with a provider (MOR is locked, not spent)
You send inference requests to http://localhost:8082/v1/chat/completions
When the session ends, your MOR is returned (minus tiny usage fees)
Re-stake the returned MOR into new sessions → persistent inference you own
Getting MOR Tokens
You need MOR on Base to stake for inference. If you already have ETH, USDC, or USDT on Base:
# Swap ETH for MOR
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/swap.sh eth 0.01
# Swap USDC for MOR
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/swap.sh usdc 50
Don't have anything on Base yet? Buy ETH on Coinbase, withdraw to Base, then swap to MOR. See references/acquiring-mor.md for the full guide.
How much do you need? MOR is staked, not spent — you get it back. 50-100 MOR is enough for daily use. 0.005 ETH covers months of Base gas fees.

1. Installation
Option A: ClawHub (Easiest)
clawhub install everclaw-inference
To update: clawhub update everclaw-inference
⚠️ Use everclaw-inference — not everclaw. The bare everclaw slug belongs to a different, unrelated product on ClawHub.
Option B: One-Command Installer
The safe installer handles fresh installs, updates, and ClawHub collision detection:
# Fresh install
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/profbernardoj/everclaw/main/scripts/install-everclaw.sh | bash
# Or if you already have the skill:
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/install-everclaw.sh
# Check for updates
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/install-everclaw.sh --check
Download the release for your platform (e.g., mor-launch-darwin-arm64.zip)
Extract to ~/morpheus/
On macOS: xattr -cr ~/morpheus/
Required Files
After installation, ~/morpheus/ should contain:

2. Configuration
.env File
The .env file configures the proxy-router for consumer mode on Base mainnet. Critical variables:
# RPC endpoint — MUST be set or router silently fails
ETH_NODE_ADDRESS=https://base-mainnet.public.blastapi.io
ETH_NODE_CHAIN_ID=8453
# Contract addresses (Base mainnet)
DIAMOND_CONTRACT_ADDRESS=0x6aBE1d282f72B474E54527D93b979A4f64d3030a
MOR_TOKEN_ADDRESS=0x7431aDa8a591C955a994a21710752EF9b882b8e3
# Wallet key — leave blank, inject at runtime via 1Password
WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=
# Proxy settings
PROXY_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:3333
PROXY_STORAGE_PATH=./data/badger/
PROXY_STORE_CHAT_CONTEXT=true
PROXY_FORWARD_CHAT_CONTEXT=true
MODELS_CONFIG_PATH=./models-config.json
# Web API
WEB_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:8082

# Auth
AUTH_CONFIG_FILE_PATH=./proxy.conf
COOKIE_FILE_PATH=./.cookie
# Logging
LOG_COLOR=true
LOG_LEVEL_APP=info
LOG_FOLDER_PATH=./data/logs
ENVIRONMENT=production
⚠️ ETH_NODE_ADDRESS MUST be set. The router silently connects to an empty string without it and all blockchain operations fail. Also MODELS_CONFIG_PATH must point to your models-config.json.
models-config.json
⚠️ This file is required. Without it, chat completions fail with "api adapter not found".
⚠️ Note the format: The JSON uses a "models" array with "modelId" / "modelName" / "apiType" / "apiUrl" fields. The apiUrl is left empty — the router resolves provider endpoints from the blockchain. Add entries for every model you want to use. See references/models.md for the full list.
3. Starting the Router
Secure Launch (1Password)
The proxy-router needs your wallet private key. Never store it on disk. Inject it at runtime from 1Password:
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/start.sh
Or manually:
cd ~/morpheus
source .env# Retrieve private key from 1Password (never touches disk)export WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=$(
OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN=$(security find-generic-password -a "YOUR_KEYCHAIN_ACCOUNT" -s "op-service-account-token" -w) \
op item get "YOUR_ITEM_NAME" --vault "YOUR_VAULT_NAME" --fields "Private Key" --reveal
)
export ETH_NODE_ADDRESS
nohup ./proxy-router > ./data/logs/router-stdout.log 2>&1 &
⚠️ The /blockchain/approve endpoint uses query parameters, not a JSON body. The amount is in wei (1000000000000000000 = 1 MOR). Approve a large amount so you don't need to re-approve frequently.
⚠️ Always use the model ID endpoint, not the bid ID. Using a bid ID results in "dial tcp: missing address".
Session Duration
Duration is in seconds: 3600 = 1 hour, 86400 = 1 day
Two blockchain transactions occur: approve transfer + open session
MOR is staked (locked) for the session duration
When the session closes, MOR is returned to your wallet
Response
The response includes a sessionId (hex string). Save this — you need it for inference.
Using the Script
# Open a 1-hour session for kimi-k2.5:web
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session.sh open kimi-k2.5:web 3600
# List active sessions
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session.sh list
# Close a session
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session.sh close 0xSESSION_ID_HERE
6. Sending Inference
⚠️ THE #1 GOTCHA: Headers, Not Body
session_id and model_id are HTTP headers, not JSON body fields. This is the single most common mistake.
# DON'T DO THIS
curl -s ... -d '{
"model": "kimi-k2.5:web",
"session_id": "0x...", # WRONG — not a body field
"model_id": "0x...", # WRONG — not a body field
"messages": [...]
}'
Using the Chat Script
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/chat.sh kimi-k2.5:web "What is the meaning of life?"
Streaming
Set "stream": true in the request body. The response will be Server-Sent Events (SSE).
7. Closing Sessions
Close a session to reclaim your staked MOR:
curl -s -u "admin:$COOKIE_PASS" -X POST \
"http://localhost:8082/blockchain/sessions/0xSESSION_ID/close"
Or use the script:
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session.sh close 0xSESSION_ID
⚠️ MOR staked in a session is returned when the session closes. Close sessions you're not using to free up MOR for new sessions.
8. Session Management
Sessions Are Ephemeral
⚠️ Sessions are NOT persisted across router restarts. If you restart the proxy-router, you must re-open sessions. The blockchain still has the session, but the router's in-memory state is lost.
Monitoring
# Check balance (MOR + ETH)
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/balance.sh
# List sessions
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session.sh list
Session Lifecycle
Open → MOR is staked, session is active
Active → Send inference requests using session_id header
Expired → Session duration elapsed; MOR returned automatically
Closed → Manually closed; MOR returned immediately
Re-opening After Restart
After restarting the router:
# Wait for health checksleep 5
# Re-open sessions for models you need
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session.sh open kimi-k2.5:web 3600
9. Checking Balances
COOKIE_PASS=$(cat ~/morpheus/.cookie | cut -d: -f2)
# MOR and ETH balance
curl -s -u "admin:$COOKIE_PASS" http://localhost:8082/blockchain/balance | jq .
# Active sessions
curl -s -u "admin:$COOKIE_PASS" http://localhost:8082/blockchain/sessions | jq .
# Available models
curl -s -u "admin:$COOKIE_PASS" http://localhost:8082/blockchain/models | jq .
10. Troubleshooting
See references/troubleshooting.md for a complete guide. Quick hits:
Error
Fix
session not found
Use session_id/model_id as HTTP headers, not body fields
dial tcp: missing address
Open session by model ID, not bid ID
api adapter not found
Add the model to models-config.json
ERC20: transfer amount exceeds balance
Close old sessions to free staked MOR
Sessions gone after restart
Normal — re-open sessions after restart
MorpheusUI conflicts
Don't run MorpheusUI and headless router simultaneously

Everclaw v0.4 includes a self-contained wallet manager that eliminates all external account dependencies. No 1Password, no Foundry, no Safe Wallet — just macOS Keychain and Node.js (already bundled with OpenClaw).
This generates a new Ethereum wallet and stores the private key in your macOS Keychain (encrypted at rest, protected by your login password / Touch ID).
Shows ETH, MOR, USDC balances and MOR allowance for the Diamond contract.
Swap ETH/USDC for MOR
# Swap 0.05 ETH for MOR
node skills/everclaw/scripts/everclaw-wallet.mjs swap eth 0.05
# Swap 50 USDC for MOR
node skills/everclaw/scripts/everclaw-wallet.mjs swap usdc 50
Executes onchain swaps via Uniswap V3 on Base. No external tools required — uses viem (bundled with OpenClaw).
Approves the Morpheus Diamond contract to use your MOR for session staking.
Security Model
Private key stored in macOS Keychain (encrypted at rest)
Protected by your login password / Touch ID
Key is injected at runtime and immediately unset from environment
Key is never written to disk as a plaintext file
For advanced users: 1Password is supported as a fallback (backward compatible)

12. OpenAI-Compatible Proxy (v0.2)
The Morpheus proxy-router requires custom auth (Basic auth via .cookie) and custom HTTP headers (session_id, model_id) that standard OpenAI clients don't support. Everclaw includes a lightweight proxy that bridges this gap.
Sessions stake MOR tokens for their duration. Longer sessions = more MOR locked but fewer blockchain transactions:
Duration
MOR Staked (approx)
Transactions
1 hour
~11 MOR
Every hour
1 day
~274 MOR
Daily
7 days
~1,915 MOR
Weekly
MOR is returned when the session closes or expires. The proxy auto-renews before expiry, so you get continuous inference with minimal staking overhead.
kimi-k2.5 (non-web) is the most reliable model — recommended as primary fallback
kimi-k2.5:web (web search variant) tends to timeout on P2P routing — avoid for fallback use
Provider connection resets are transient — retries usually succeed
The proxy itself runs as a KeepAlive launchd service — auto-restarts if it crashes
Proxy Resilience (v0.5)
v0.5 adds three critical improvements to the proxy that prevent prolonged outages caused by cooldown cascades — where both primary and fallback providers become unavailable simultaneously.
Problem: Cooldown Cascades
When a primary provider (e.g., Venice) returns a billing error, OpenClaw's failover engine marks that provider as "in cooldown." If the Morpheus proxy also returns errors that OpenClaw misclassifies as billing errors, both providers enter cooldown and the agent goes completely offline — sometimes for 6+ hours.
Fix 1: OpenAI-Compatible Error Classification
The proxy now returns errors in the exact format OpenAI uses, with proper type and code fields:
Key distinction: All Morpheus infrastructure errors are typed as "server_error" — never "billing" or "rate_limit_error". This ensures OpenClaw treats them as transient failures and retries appropriately, instead of putting the provider into extended cooldown.
Error codes returned by the proxy:
Code
Meaning
morpheus_session_error
Failed to open or refresh a blockchain session
morpheus_inference_error
Provider returned an error during inference
morpheus_upstream_error
Connection error to the proxy-router
timeout
Inference request exceeded the time limit
model_not_found
Requested model not in MODEL_MAP
Fix 2: Automatic Session Retry
When the proxy-router returns a session-related error (expired, invalid, not found, closed), the proxy now:
Invalidates the cached session
Opens a fresh blockchain session
Retries the inference request once
This handles the common case where the proxy-router restarts and loses its in-memory session state, or when a long-running session expires mid-request.
Fix 3: Multi-Tier Fallback Chain
Configure OpenClaw with multiple fallback models across providers:
{
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"model": {
"primary": "venice/claude-opus-4-6",
"fallbacks": [
"venice/claude-opus-45", // Try different Venice model first
"venice/kimi-k2-5", // Try yet another Venice model
"morpheus/kimi-k2.5" // Last resort: decentralized inference
]
}
}
}
}
This way, if the primary model has billing issues, OpenClaw tries other models on the same provider (which may have separate rate limits) before falling back to Morpheus. The cascade is:
venice/claude-opus-4-6 (primary) → billing error
venice/claude-opus-45 (fallback 1) → tries a different model on Venice
venice/kimi-k2-5 (fallback 2) → tries open-source model on Venice
morpheus/kimi-k2.5 (fallback 3) → decentralized inference, always available if MOR is staked
13. OpenClaw Integration (v0.2)
Configure OpenClaw to use Morpheus as a fallback provider so your agent keeps running when primary API credits run out.
Step 1: Add Morpheus Provider
Add to your openclaw.json via config patch or manual edit:
⚠️ Why multi-tier? A single fallback creates a single point of failure. If both the primary provider and the single fallback enter cooldown simultaneously (e.g., billing error triggers cooldown on both), your agent goes offline. Multiple fallback tiers across different models and providers ensure at least one path remains available.
Step 3: Add Auth Profiles
OpenClaw supports multiple API keys per provider with automatic rotation. When one key's credits run out (billing error), OpenClaw disables that key only and rotates to the next one — same model, fresh credits. This is the single most effective way to prevent downtime.
Single Key (Minimum Setup)
Add to ~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json:
If you have multiple Venice API keys (e.g., from different accounts or plans), add them all as separate profiles. Order them from most credits to least:
⚠️ auth.order is critical. Without it, OpenClaw uses round-robin (oldest-used first), which may not match your credit balances. With an explicit order, keys are tried in the exact sequence you specify — highest credits first.
Session stickiness: A key is pinned per session to keep provider caches warm. It won't flip-flop mid-conversation.
Billing disable: When a key returns a billing/credit error, that profile is disabled with exponential backoff (starts at 5 hours). Other profiles for the same provider remain active.
Rotation on failure: After disabling a profile, OpenClaw immediately tries the next key in auth.order. Same model, same provider — just fresh credits.
Model fallback: Only after ALL profiles for Venice are disabled does OpenClaw move to the next model in the fallback chain (e.g., Morpheus).
Auto-recovery: Disabled profiles auto-recover after backoff expires. If credits refill (e.g., daily reset), the profile becomes available again.
Venice DIEM Credits
Venice uses "DIEM" as its internal credit unit (1 DIEM ≈ $1 USD). Each API key has its own DIEM balance. Credits appear to reset daily. Expensive models drain credits faster:
Model
Input Cost
Output Cost
~Messages per 10 DIEM
Claude Opus 4.6
6 DIEM/M tokens
30 DIEM/M tokens
~5-10
Claude Opus 4.5
6 DIEM/M tokens
30 DIEM/M tokens
~5-10
Kimi K2.5
0.75 DIEM/M tokens
3.75 DIEM/M tokens
~50-100
GLM 4.7 Flash
0.125 DIEM/M tokens
0.5 DIEM/M tokens
~500+
Tip: With multiple keys, the agent can stay on Claude Opus across key rotations. Without multi-key, it would fall to cheaper models or Morpheus after one key's credits run out.
Failover Behavior (v0.9.1)
The complete failover chain with multi-key rotation:
Key rotation within Venice — Key 1 credits exhausted → billing disable on that profile only → immediately rotates to Key 2 → Key 3 → etc. Same model, fresh credits.
Model fallback — Only after ALL Venice keys are disabled → tries venice/claude-opus-45 (all keys again) → venice/kimi-k2-5 (all keys) → morpheus/kimi-k2.5
Morpheus fallback — The proxy auto-opens a 7-day Morpheus session (if none exists). Inference routes through the Morpheus P2P network.
Gateway Guardian v4 — If all providers enter cooldown despite multi-key rotation → classifies error (billing vs transient) → billing: backs off + notifies owner (restart is useless for empty credits) → transient: restarts gateway (clears cooldowns) → nuclear reinstall if needed. Proactively monitors Venice DIEM balance.
Auto-recovery — When credits refill (daily reset) or backoff expires, OpenClaw switches back to Venice automatically.
v0.5 improvement: The Morpheus proxy returns "server_error" type errors (not billing errors), so OpenClaw won't put the Morpheus provider into extended cooldown due to transient infrastructure issues. If a Morpheus session expires mid-request, the proxy automatically opens a fresh session and retries once.
14. Gateway Guardian v4 (v0.9.3)
A self-healing, billing-aware watchdog that monitors the OpenClaw gateway and its ability to run inference. Runs every 2 minutes via launchd.
Evolution
Version
What it checked
Fatal flaw
v1
HTTP dashboard alive
Providers in cooldown = brain-dead but HTTP 200
v2
Raw provider URLs
Provider APIs always return 200 regardless of internal state
v3
Through-OpenClaw inference probe
Billing exhaustion → restart → instant re-disable = dead loop. Also: set -e + pkill self-kill = silent no-op restarts
Billing-aware escalation — Classifies inference errors as billing vs transient vs timeout. Billing errors trigger backoff + notification instead of useless restarts.
Silent restart bug — Replaced set -euo pipefail with set -uo pipefail + explicit ERR trap. Restart failures are now logged instead of silently exiting.
pkill self-kill — Hard restart now iterates PIDs and excludes the Guardian's own PID. No more accidentally killing the watchdog.
Proactive credit monitoring — Checks Venice DIEM balance via x-venice-balance-diem response header every 10 min. Warns when balance drops below threshold.
DIEM reset awareness — Calculates hours to midnight UTC (when Venice DIEM resets daily). When billing-dead, enters 30-min backoff instead of hammering every 2 min. Auto-clears when UTC day rolls over.
Signal notifications — Notifies owner on: billing exhaustion (with ETA to reset), billing recovery, nuclear restart, and total failure.
How It Works
Billing backoff gate — If in billing-dead state, check if midnight UTC has passed. If yes, re-probe. If no, skip this run (30-min intervals).
Credit monitoring — Every 10 min, makes a cheap Kimi K2.5 call to Venice and reads the x-venice-balance-diem response header. Warns below 15 DIEM.
Circuit breaker — Kills sub-agents stuck >30 min with repeated timeouts.
HTTP probe — Is the gateway process running?
Inference probe — Can the agent run inference through the full stack?

15. Smart Session Archiver (v0.9.4)
OpenClaw stores every conversation as a .jsonl file in ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/. Over time, these accumulate — and when the dashboard loads, it parses all session history into the DOM. At ~17MB (134+ sessions), browsers hit "Page Unresponsive" because the renderer chokes on thousands of chat message elements.
The Problem
The bottleneck isn't raw memory — Chrome gives each tab 1.4-4GB of V8 heap. The real limit is DOM rendering performance. Chrome Lighthouse warns at 800 DOM nodes and errors at 1,400. A hundred sessions with tool calls, code blocks, and long conversations easily generate 5,000+ DOM elements. The browser's layout engine can't keep up.

Solution: Size-Triggered Archiving
Instead of archiving on a fixed schedule (which may fire too early or too late depending on usage), the session archiver monitors the actual size of the sessions directory and only moves files when they exceed a threshold.
Default threshold: 10MB — provides good headroom before hitting the ~15MB danger zone, without firing unnecessarily on light usage days.
Usage
# Archive if over threshold (default 10MB)
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session-archive.sh
# Check size without archiving
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session-archive.sh --check
# Force archive regardless of size
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session-archive.sh --force
# Detailed output
bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session-archive.sh --verbose
What It Protects
The archiver never moves:
Active sessions — referenced in sessions.json (the index file)
Guardian health probe — guardian-health-probe.jsonl
Recent sessions — keeps the 5 most recent by modification time (configurable via KEEP_RECENT)
Everything else gets moved to sessions/archive/ — not deleted. You can always move files back if needed.

Cron Integration
Set up a cron job that runs the archiver periodically. The script is a no-op when under threshold, so it's safe to run frequently:
{
"name": "Smart session archiver",
"schedule": { "kind": "cron", "expr": "0 */6 * * *", "tz": "America/Chicago" },
"sessionTarget": "isolated",
"payload": {
"kind": "agentTurn",
"model": "morpheus/kimi-k2.5",
"message": "Run the smart session archiver: bash skills/everclaw/scripts/session-archive.sh --verbose. Report the results. If sessions were archived, mention the before/after size.",
"timeoutSeconds": 60
}
}
Recommended: every 6 hours. Frequent enough to catch growth spurts, cheap enough to run on the LIGHT tier since it's a no-op most of the time.
Output
The script outputs a JSON summary for programmatic consumption:
Based on real-world testing: 134 sessions totaling 17MB caused "Page Unresponsive" in Chrome, Safari, and Brave on macOS. The dashboard uses a standard web renderer that parses all session JSONL into DOM elements — there's no virtualization or lazy loading. 10MB gives ~50% headroom before the ~15-20MB danger zone where most browsers start struggling.
17. x402 Payment Client (v0.7)
Everclaw v0.7 includes an x402 payment client that lets your agent make USDC payments to any x402-enabled endpoint. The x402 protocol is an HTTP-native payment standard: when a server returns HTTP 402, your agent automatically signs a USDC payment and retries.
How x402 Works
Agent → request → Server returns 402 + PAYMENT-REQUIRED header
Agent → parse requirements → sign EIP-712 payment → retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header
Server → verify signature via facilitator → settle USDC → return resource
CLI Usage
# Make a request to an x402-protected endpoint
node scripts/x402-client.mjs GET https://api.example.com/data
# Dry-run: see what would be paid without signing
node scripts/x402-client.mjs --dry-run GET https://api.example.com/data
# Set max payment per request
node scripts/x402-client.mjs --max-amount 0.50 GET https://api.example.com/data
# POST with body
node scripts/x402-client.mjs POST https://api.example.com/task '{"prompt":"hello"}'# Check daily spending
node scripts/x402-client.mjs --budget
Programmatic Usage
import { makePayableRequest, createX402Client } from'./scripts/x402-client.mjs';
// One-shot requestconst result = awaitmakePayableRequest("https://api.example.com/data");
// result.paid → true if 402 was handled// result.amount → "$0.010000" (USDC)// result.body → response content// Reusable client with budget limitsconst client = createX402Client({
maxPerRequest: 0.50, // $0.50 USDC max per requestdailyLimit: 5.00, // $5.00 USDC per daydryRun: false,
});
const res = await client.get("https://agent-api.example.com/query?q=weather");
const data = await client.post("https://agent-api.example.com/task", { prompt: "hello" });
// Check spendingconsole.log(client.budget());
// { date: "2026-02-11", spent: "$0.520000", remaining: "$4.480000", limit: "$5.000000", transactions: 3 }
Payment Flow Details
Request — Standard HTTP request to any URL
402 Detection — Server returns HTTP 402 with PAYMENT-REQUIRED header containing JSON payment requirements
Budget Check — Verifies amount against per-request max ($1.00 default) and daily limit ($10.00 default)
EIP-712 Signing — Signs a TransferWithAuthorization (EIP-3009) for USDC on Base using the agent's wallet
Retry — Resends the request with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header containing the signed payment payload
Settlement — The Coinbase facilitator verifies the signature and settles the USDC transfer
Response — Server returns the requested resource
Security
Private key from 1Password at runtime (never on disk) — follows Bagman patterns
Budget controls prevent runaway spending: $1/request max, $10/day by default
Dry-run mode for testing without signing or spending
USDC on Base only — no other chains or tokens (EIP-3009 TransferWithAuthorization)
Daily budget tracking persisted to .x402-budget.json (amounts only, no keys)

18. ERC-8004 Agent Registry (v0.7)
The ERC-8004 protocol provides on-chain registries for agent discovery and trust. Everclaw v0.7 includes a reader that queries the Identity and Reputation registries on Base mainnet.
What Is ERC-8004?
ERC-8004 defines three registries:
Identity Registry (ERC-721): Each agent is an NFT with a tokenURI pointing to a registration file containing name, description, services/endpoints, x402 support, and trust signals
Reputation Registry: Clients give structured feedback (value + tags) to agents. Summary scores aggregate across all clients
Validation Registry: Stake-secured re-execution and zkML verification (read-only in Everclaw)
Agents are discoverable, portable (transferable NFTs), and verifiable across organizational boundaries.
CLI Usage
# Look up an agent by ID
node scripts/agent-registry.mjs lookup 1
# Get reputation data
node scripts/agent-registry.mjs reputation 1
# Full discovery (identity + registration file + reputation)
node scripts/agent-registry.mjs discover 1
# List agents in a range
node scripts/agent-registry.mjs list 1 10
# Get total registered agents
node scripts/agent-registry.mjs total
Agent registration files (resolved from tokenURI) follow the ERC-8004 standard:
{"type":"https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-8004#registration-v1","name":"MyAgent","description":"What the agent does","image":"https://example.com/logo.png","services":[{"name":"web","endpoint":"https://myagent.com"},{"name":"A2A","endpoint":"https://agent.example/.well-known/agent-card.json","version":"0.3.0"},{"name":"MCP","endpoint":"https://mcp.agent.eth/","version":"2025-06-18"}],"x402Support":true,"active":true,"supportedTrust":["reputation","crypto-economic"]}
The reader handles all URI types: data: URIs (base64-encoded JSON stored on-chain), ipfs:// URIs (via public IPFS gateway), and https:// URIs.

⚠️ Same addresses on all EVM chains — Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Linea, Avalanche, etc. The Identity Registry does NOT implement totalSupply(), so totalAgents() uses a binary search via ownerOf().
Combining x402 + Agent Registry
The x402 client and agent registry work together for agent-to-agent payments:
import { discoverAgent } from'./scripts/agent-registry.mjs';
import { makePayableRequest } from'./scripts/x402-client.mjs';
// 1. Discover an agent and find its x402-enabled endpointconst agent = awaitdiscoverAgent(42);
const apiEndpoint = agent.services.find(s => s.name === "A2A")?.endpoint;
// 2. Make a paid request — x402 handling is automaticif (agent.x402Support && apiEndpoint) {
const result = awaitmakePayableRequest(apiEndpoint, {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({ task: "Analyze this data..." }),
maxAmount: 500000n, // $0.50 USDC
});
console.log(result.body); // Agent's response
}
Everclaw agents handle MOR tokens and private keys — making them high-value targets. v0.3 bundles four security skills to defend against supply chain attacks, prompt injection, credential theft, and configuration exposure.
🔍 SkillGuard — Pre-Install Skill Scanner
Scans AgentSkill packages for malicious patterns before you install them. Detects credential theft, code injection, prompt manipulation, data exfiltration, and evasion techniques.
# Scan a skill directory
node security/skillguard/src/cli.js scan <path>
# Batch scan all installed skills
node security/skillguard/src/cli.js batch <directory>
# Scan a ClawHub skill by slug
node security/skillguard/src/cli.js scan-hub <slug>
Score interpretation:
80-100 ✅ LOW risk — safe to install
50-79 ⚠️ MEDIUM — review before installing
20-49 🟠 HIGH — significant concerns
0-19 🔴 CRITICAL — do NOT install
When to use: Before installing any skill from ClawHub or untrusted sources. Run batch scans periodically to audit all installed skills.

python3 security/prompt-guard/scripts/audit.py
# Analyze historical logs
python3 security/prompt-guard/scripts/analyze_log.py
Detection categories:
Direct injection (instruction overrides, role manipulation)
When to use: In group chats, when processing untrusted input, when agents interact with external data sources.
Full docs: security/prompt-guard/SKILL.md
💰 Bagman — Secure Key Management
Secure key management for AI agents handling private keys, API secrets, and wallet credentials. Covers secure storage patterns, session keys, leak prevention, prompt injection defense specific to financial operations, and MetaMask Delegation Framework (EIP-7710) integration.
Key principles:
Never store keys on disk — use 1Password op run for runtime injection
Session keys — generate ephemeral keys with limited permissions
Delegation Framework — grant agents scoped authority without exposing master keys
Leak prevention — patterns to detect and block secret exposure
Special override: 2+ reasoning keywords in the user prompt → force HEAVY at 88%+ confidence. This prevents accidental cheap routing of genuinely hard problems.
Ambiguous prompts (low confidence) default to STANDARD — the safe middle ground.
CLI Usage
# Test routing for a prompt
node scripts/router.mjs "What is 2+2?"# → LIGHT (morpheus/glm-4.7-flash)
node scripts/router.mjs "Summarize the meeting notes and draft a follow-up"# → STANDARD (morpheus/kimi-k2.5)
node scripts/router.mjs "Design a distributed consensus algorithm and prove its correctness"# → HEAVY (venice/claude-opus-4-6)# JSON output for programmatic use
node scripts/router.mjs --json "Build a React component"# Pipe from stdinecho'{"prompt":"hello","system":"You are helpful"}' | node scripts/router.mjs --stdin
Set the model field on cron job payloads to route to cheaper models:
{
"payload": {
"kind": "agentTurn",
"model": "morpheus/kimi-k2.5", // STANDARD tier — owned via Morpheus
"message": "Compile a morning briefing...",
"timeoutSeconds": 300
}
}
For truly simple cron jobs (health checks, pings, status queries):
{
"payload": {
"kind": "agentTurn",
"model": "morpheus/glm-4.7-flash", // LIGHT tier — fastest, owned
"message": "Check proxy health and report any issues",
"timeoutSeconds": 60
}
}
Applying to Sub-Agent Spawns
// Simple research task → STANDARDsessions_spawn({ task: "Search for X news", model: "morpheus/kimi-k2.5" });
// Quick lookup → LIGHTsessions_spawn({ task: "What's the weather?", model: "morpheus/glm-4.7-flash" });
// Complex analysis → let it use the default (HEAVY / Claude 4.6)sessions_spawn({ task: "Design the x402 payment integration..." });
Cost Impact
With the router in place, only complex reasoning tasks in the main session use premium models. All background work (cron jobs, sub-agents, heartbeats) runs on Morpheus inference you own:
Before
After
All cron jobs → Claude 4.6 (premium)
Cron jobs → Kimi K2.5 / GLM Flash (owned)
All sub-agents → Claude 4.6 (premium)
Sub-agents → Kimi K2.5 (owned) unless complex
Main session → Claude 4.6
Main session → Claude 4.6 (unchanged)
19. Morpheus API Gateway Bootstrap (v0.8)
The Morpheus API Gateway (api.mor.org) provides community-powered, OpenAI-compatible inference — no node, no staking, no wallet required. Everclaw v0.8 includes a bootstrap script that configures this as an OpenClaw provider, giving new users instant access to AI from the first launch.
Why This Matters
New OpenClaw users face a cold-start problem: they need an API key (Claude, OpenAI, etc.) before their agent can do anything. Everclaw v0.8 solves this by bundling a community API key for the Morpheus inference marketplace, which is currently in open beta.
The bootstrap flow:
New user installs OpenClaw + Everclaw
Run node scripts/bootstrap-gateway.mjs — agent gets inference immediately
Agent's first task: guide user to get their own key at app.mor.org
User upgrades to their own key → can then progress to full Morpheus node + MOR staking
Quick Start
# One command — tests the gateway and patches OpenClaw config
node skills/everclaw/scripts/bootstrap-gateway.mjs
# Or with your own API key from app.mor.org
node skills/everclaw/scripts/bootstrap-gateway.mjs --key sk-YOUR_KEY_HERE
# Test the gateway connection
node skills/everclaw/scripts/bootstrap-gateway.mjs --test# Check current gateway status
node skills/everclaw/scripts/bootstrap-gateway.mjs --status
What It Does
The bootstrap script:
Tests the Morpheus API Gateway connection with a live inference call
Patchesopenclaw.json to add mor-gateway as a new provider
Addsmor-gateway/kimi-k2.5 to the fallback chain
Reports available models and next steps
