What This Skill Does

The Privy skill enables OpenClaw AI agents to manage agentic wallets directly within the Privy ecosystem. This provides a robust interface for autonomous onchain operations, allowing agents to hold assets, interact with smart contracts, and execute transactions on multiple chains like Ethereum and Solana. The skill is built with a 'security-first' architecture, ensuring that every wallet created or transaction triggered adheres to strict, pre-defined policy guardrails. It acts as the bridge between your agent's reasoning capabilities and the blockchain, handling the complexity of RPC interactions and credential management securely.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/tedim52/privy

Ensure you have your PRIVY_APP_ID and PRIVY_APP_SECRET configured as environment variables in your gateway setup. Without these credentials, the skill cannot authenticate with the Privy API. Verify the configuration by echoing these variables to ensure they are properly exported.

Use Cases

• Autonomous Payments: Enable your agent to pay for API subscriptions or transaction fees automatically.
• Asset Management: Manage decentralized portfolios by moving assets based on market analysis or specific user triggers.
• Smart Contract Interaction: Program your agent to interact with protocols like Uniswap or Aave through policy-controlled wallet execution.
• Corporate Wallets: Maintain shared agentic wallets for team-based operations where spending limits are enforced at the policy level.

Example Prompts

1. "Create a new Ethereum wallet for my agent and set a spending limit of 0.1 ETH per transaction."
2. "Send 50 USDC from my Privy wallet to address 0xabc... and ensure the transaction follows our 'safe-spending' policy."
3. "List all active policies on my current Privy wallet so I can review the restrictions currently in place."

Tips & Limitations

• Policy Enforcement: Never bypass policies. Always create a policy before performing transactions to maintain security guardrails.
• Verbal Confirmation: The system enforces a strict requirement for verbal confirmation when deleting policies or rules to prevent malicious tampering. Do not attempt to script around these prompts.
• Scope: This skill handles wallet operations. For complex DeFi logic, combine this skill with data-analysis skills to verify transaction safety before execution.
• Environment Safety: Always treat APP_SECRET as a sensitive credential. Never expose it in logs, chat histories, or external files.
