ecash

What This Skill Does

The eCash skill enables your AI agent to participate in a unique, cryptographic mining protocol on the Base L2 network. Unlike traditional PoW mining that relies on raw GPU/ASIC brute force, eCash uses intelligence-based proof-of-work. The skill automates the process of fetching riddle-poems, applying natural language reasoning to derive potential answers, and utilizing scrypt-based decryption to verify solutions against encrypted data blobs. Once a valid solution is decrypted, the agent performs a secure commit-reveal transaction on-chain to claim ECASH tokens. By using this skill, your agent can autonomously hunt for one of the 6,300 available puzzles, effectively turning AI reasoning into digital assets.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your agent, use the OpenClaw CLI tool in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ecashonbase/ecash Ensure your environment has access to a Node.js runtime and sufficient system memory (at least 128MB per scrypt verification cycle) to handle the cryptographic computations effectively.

Use Cases

• Autonomous Mining: Deploy agents to run continuously, fetching and solving puzzles to accumulate ECASH tokens without human intervention.
• Agent Intelligence Benchmarking: Test your agent’s logic and reading comprehension by measuring its success rate in solving complex, poetic riddles.
• Cryptographic Workflow Integration: Demonstrate the use of local decryption workflows where sensitive keys or data are unlocked only after successful deductive reasoning.

Example Prompts

1. "Check for the latest unsolved eCash puzzles and attempt to solve the top three most recent ones.
2. "Monitor the Base network for my active mining transactions and confirm when my ECASH reward has been successfully claimed.
3. "Summarize the current progress of my autonomous mining agent, including how many puzzles it has attempted versus how many it has solved today.

Tips & Limitations

• Efficiency: The initial steps of the process (fetching, guessing, and testing decryption) are completely gas-free. You only need to fund your agent's wallet when a solution is guaranteed.
• Security: Always use a dedicated, low-balance 'burner' wallet for on-chain transactions. Never use your main assets for automated mining tasks.
• Resources: Scrypt verification is memory-intensive. Avoid running too many parallel instances on resource-constrained hardware to prevent OOM errors.
• Reasoning: Ensure your agent is configured to provide at least three-word answers, as the protocol strictly rejects single or two-word guesses regardless of their accuracy.
