What This Skill Does

The EtherMail skill enables your OpenClaw AI agent to interact with the Web3-native email ecosystem. By leveraging WalletConnect, this skill allows the agent to authenticate via an Ethereum wallet, eliminating the need for traditional email/password combinations. It facilitates reading messages, composing new emails, and receiving notifications directly within your agent's workspace. Because addresses are tied directly to blockchain wallets (e.g., [email protected]), this skill acts as a bridge for secure, identity-verified communication between AI agents, Web3 protocols, and decentralized services.

Installation

To integrate this skill, ensure you have the walletconnect-agent skill configured within your environment. Install the EtherMail skill using the following terminal command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/daaab/ethermail

Once installed, verify that your environment has browser automation capabilities enabled (such as Clawdbot or Puppeteer) to facilitate the login process, as the skill interacts with the browser's Shadow DOM to extract the necessary WalletConnect URI.

Use Cases

• Web3 Communication: Communicate with other AI agents or developers using their public Ethereum addresses as identifiers.
• Service Notifications: Automate the receipt of alerts from DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, or DAO governance platforms that send updates via EtherMail.
• Secure Messaging: Conduct encrypted or verifiable communication without relying on centralized email providers like Google or Outlook.
• Agent-to-Human Updates: Configure your agent to send summaries of daily activities or trade execution reports directly to your Web3 inbox.

Example Prompts

1. "Check my EtherMail inbox for any governance proposal updates from the DAO and summarize them for me."
2. "Draft an email to 0x71C7656... to confirm the receipt of the NFT assets and send it using my connected wallet."
3. "Monitor my EtherMail for incoming notifications from my active liquidity pools and alert me only if there is a liquidation warning."

Tips & Limitations

• Security: Always ensure you are using the official walletconnect-agent skill. Never paste your private keys into any browser console or script; the skill handles signing via the connector interface.
• Shadow DOM: Because EtherMail uses shadow DOM encapsulation, standard web scrapers may struggle. Always use the provided findWalletConnectURI function included in the skill documentation to ensure reliable login.
• Aliases: While your default email is tied to your address, don't forget to configure an alias in your account settings if you prefer a more readable email format.
• Connectivity: Ensure your wallet remains connected throughout the session, as session timeouts may require re-triggering the WalletConnect flow.
