What This Skill Does

PayGents is a specialized OpenClaw skill designed to enable seamless, decentralized crypto payments within your AI agent interactions. By leveraging native wallet deeplinks, this tool allows an agent to request payments from users, generate ready-to-click transfer links for MetaMask or Trust Wallet, and perform on-chain verification without the need for custodial intermediaries, backend servers, or sensitive API keys. It serves as a bridge between conversational AI and EVM-compatible blockchains, making it ideal for micro-payments, tokenized service fees, or community tipping.

Installation

To integrate PayGents into your OpenClaw agent, use the following installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/amitaybohadana/paygents Ensure your local environment is configured to execute shell scripts, as the skill utilizes internal EVM utility scripts for transaction generation and blockchain monitoring.

Use Cases

PayGents excels in scenarios where trustless, low-friction value exchange is required. Common use cases include:

• Freelance Micro-payments: Automated invoice generation and collection during project scoping.
• Subscription Tipping: Letting users top up their agent access with USDC or ETH without creating a dedicated web portal.
• Proof-of-Value Access: Requiring a small verification payment before granting access to premium agent features or restricted data.
• Community Grants: Streamlining small payouts or donation requests within a group chat environment.

Example Prompts

1. "Hey, I need to pay for that report. Can you send me a link to pay 5 USDC on Base?"
2. "I've sent the payment for the consultation. Can you verify it so we can proceed?"
3. "Set my payment wallet to Trust Wallet and request 0.05 ETH from me for the next session."

Tips & Limitations

PayGents relies on client-side wallet capabilities. Because it uses standard deeplinks, it is highly compatible with MetaMask and Trust Wallet, but it lacks support for wallets requiring complex handshakes like Phantom or Rabby's browser-only interface. Always ensure you are on the correct chain (default is Base 8453) to avoid sending funds to the wrong network. The skill stores user preferences in local context files to avoid redundant questions. Note that on-chain verification is limited by block depth; if a user claims they paid, verify using the transaction hash or wait for at least 5-10 blocks to confirm the transaction is irreversible. This is a non-custodial tool; the agent does not touch your funds, making it a secure choice for decentralized operations.
