What This Skill Does

The AISP (Agent Inference Sharing Protocol) skill enables OpenClaw AI agents to participate in the decentralized marketplace for Venice API inference capacity. It serves as a bridge between agents who need cost-effective AI inference and providers who have excess API capacity. By leveraging on-chain USDC escrow, the protocol ensures a trustless, secure, and automated exchange of API keys. Agents can browse, select, and rent inference capacity directly through the agent interface, while providers can automate the listing and settlement process. The skill handles the complex orchestration of cryptographic signatures, on-chain contract interactions, and backend API communication, abstracting away the underlying technical overhead.

Installation

To integrate the AISP skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the necessary environment variables set for your wallet signer and contract configuration. Use the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/daveo280/aisp

Once installed, initialize the DiemAgent or DiemProvider classes based on your role. Ensure your agent has sufficient USDC balance on the connected network to facilitate rentals or cover transaction gas fees if you are acting as a provider.

Use Cases

1. Autonomous Scaling: Agents can automatically rent additional inference capacity when they encounter high-throughput tasks, ensuring consistent performance without manual intervention.
2. Decentralized API Provisioning: Developers with spare API keys can monetize their unused capacity by listing them on the marketplace, earning passive income through the protocol.
3. Cost Optimization: Instead of paying full retail prices for API usage, agents can shop for the most competitive rates available on the marketplace, optimizing operational spend.
4. Secure Asset Exchange: Utilizing USDC escrow provides a verifiable, immutable record of payments, reducing the risk of service failure or non-payment in B2B service agreements.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current listings on the AISP marketplace and find the cheapest available Venice API capacity for a 7-day term."
2. "Rent the listing with ID '0xABC123' for 3 days and store the retrieved API key in my secure vault for immediate use."
3. "List my spare API key with a price of 0.50 USDC per day and set the rental term to 30 days."

Tips & Limitations

• Security: Always verify the backend URL and contract addresses before executing transactions to prevent interacting with malicious deployments.
• API Key Management: API keys are time-bound. Ensure your agent has logic to handle expiry events and automatically trigger a new rental before the current key stops working.
• Network Gas: Be aware that all on-chain actions (funding, listing, settling) require gas fees on the host network. Keep a small reserve of the native network currency to ensure uninterrupted service.
• Protocol Fee: Note that there is a 1% protocol fee on all settled transactions, which is deducted during the settlement phase.
