x402-compute

What This Skill Does

The x402-compute skill enables the OpenClaw agent to autonomously manage, provision, and destroy high-performance GPU and VPS infrastructure. Designed for the x402 Singularity Compute ecosystem, this skill leverages the HTTP 402 Payment Required protocol, allowing your agent to pay for cloud resources directly using USDC on either the Base (EVM) or Solana blockchain. By integrating this skill, your agent gains the ability to scale compute power based on real-time task demands, manage instance lifecycles, and retrieve access credentials such as SSH keys or one-time root passwords. It abstracts the complexity of blockchain payments and server orchestration into simple, agent-executable commands.

Installation

To install this skill, use the ClawHub CLI: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivaavimusic/x402-compute. Once installed, ensure you have your project dependencies by running pip install -r {baseDir}/requirements.txt. You must configure your environment with either a Base private key or a Solana secret key. For enhanced security, it is highly recommended to generate a specific SSH key pair dedicated to your instances. Initialize your wallet environment variables and optionally generate an API key via python {baseDir}/scripts/create_api_key.py to allow the agent to manage your infrastructure securely.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for autonomous AI workflows that require burst compute capabilities. Common use cases include: 1) Deploying GPU-accelerated environments for model training or inference tasks on-the-fly. 2) Spinning up temporary web servers or application hosting environments. 3) Automating cost-optimized infrastructure management where instances are created and destroyed programmatically to match workload requirements. 4) Managing remote development environments that require specific hardware configurations like A100 GPUs.

Example Prompts

1. "I need to run a heavy inference task; please browse available GPU plans and provision a vcg-a100 instance in the lax region for one month."
2. "List all my currently active compute instances and check their status to see if any are nearing expiration."
3. "The current GPU instance is no longer needed; please destroy the instance with the label 'my-gpu' to stop further charges."

Tips & Limitations

Always follow the security best practice of using a dedicated, low-balance wallet for all x402 transactions to prevent accidental fund loss. Be aware that this skill performs blockchain transactions; therefore, ensure sufficient USDC liquidity is available in your linked wallet before triggering provisioning requests. While the skill supports SSH keys, keep your private key material off-server and use the provided one-time password fallback only when absolutely necessary. Regularly check instance statuses to avoid unwanted resource expiry.
