near-email
Send and read blockchain-native emails using NEAR Email service. Use when building notifications for NEAR smart contracts (NFT sales, DeFi liquidation alerts, DAO voting reminders) or when AI agents need email capabilities with a NEAR account identity.
Why use this skill?
Enable blockchain-native email for NEAR accounts. Send notifications and alerts directly through your AI agent using the NEAR Email service integration.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/zavodil/near-email-skillWhat This Skill Does
The near-email skill enables seamless, blockchain-native communication for NEAR accounts. It effectively maps every NEAR account (e.g., alice.near) to a corresponding email address ([email protected]). This integration allows users and AI agents to send and receive emails directly verified by NEAR blockchain identities, bypassing traditional centralized identity providers. It is specifically designed to facilitate decentralized notifications, smart contract alerts, and identity-linked messaging.
Installation
You can install this skill globally using the OpenClaw package manager or via CLI:
npx openskills install zavodil/near-email-skill -g
Alternatively, if you are working within the OpenClaw environment, you can use the internal hub command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/zavodil/near-email-skill
Ensure that you have your NEAR account credentials configured within your agent's environment, as the skill requires signing capability to authorize email dispatch.
Use Cases
- DeFi Monitoring: Automatically send email alerts to users when their collateral ratios drop near liquidation thresholds.
- NFT Marketplaces: Send confirmation emails to buyers and sellers upon successful NFT minting or trade execution.
- DAO Governance: Notify users of new proposal submissions or upcoming voting deadlines for DAOs they participate in.
- Agent Identity: Allow AI agents acting on behalf of a specific NEAR account to communicate via standardized email channels while maintaining a verifiable blockchain-linked identity.
Example Prompts
- "Check for any new notifications sent to my near account via the email service."
- "Send a notification to bob.near stating that his NFT auction has successfully concluded."
- "List all recent emails received for my account and summarize the governance updates from the DAO."
Tips & Limitations
- Transparency: Be aware that data sent via plaintext email methods through this service is public on the NEAR blockchain. Never use this for sensitive, private, or encrypted information. Only use it for public notifications.
- Network: The service currently supports the NEAR mainnet only. Emails addressed to .testnet accounts will not be processed.
- Transactions: The deposit attached to transactions is a computational buffer, not a fixed fee. Unused funds are automatically returned to your account balance, so do not worry about overpayment.
- Consistency: Always double-check recipient account IDs before triggering notifications to ensure alerts reach the intended wallet owners.
