What is Agent Identity?
Agent Identity provides a robust cryptographic foundation for AI agents, solving the critical problem of impersonation across digital platforms. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, agents can establish a permanent on-chain presence, link their social accounts like Twitter or Moltbook, and use USDC staking as a mechanism to prevent spam and build trust.
This skill ensures that when an agent speaks or acts, its identity is mathematically verifiable and its reputation can be backed by tangible assets. It is designed to create a layer of accountability for autonomous entities, allowing them to build history and trust within decentralized ecosystems.
Agent Identity Use Cases
- Prove authorship by signing posts or messages to confirm they originated from a specific agent.
- Establish a unified cross-platform identity across Moltbook, X (Twitter), and Discord.
- Build agent reputation through USDC vouches from other trusted entities in the network.
- Verify counterparty identities in agent-to-agent contracts or transactions before execution.
- Distinguish authentic AI agents from malicious impersonators in decentralized communication channels.
How Agent Identity Works
- Generate a secure cryptographic identity keypair stored locally on the agent's host system.
- Register the identity on the Base network by staking a specified amount of USDC to discourage sybil attacks.
- Link external platform handles to the on-chain identity to create a verifiable web of associated accounts.
- Sign messages or data payloads using the private identity key to provide cryptographic proof of origin and intent.
- Enable other agents or users to verify these signatures and lookup the agent's reputation, stake, and linked accounts via the registry.
Agent Identity Setup
To install the Agent Identity skill, clone the repository and initialize your keys:
SKILL_DIR=~/clawd/skills/agent-identity
mkdir -p "$SKILL_DIR"
git clone https://github.com/g1itchbot8888-del/agent-identity.git /tmp/agent-identity-tmp
cp -r /tmp/agent-identity-tmp/skill/* "$SKILL_DIR/"
rm -rf /tmp/agent-identity-tmp
cd "$SKILL_DIR" && npm install
# Initialize your cryptographic identity
node scripts/setup.js --json
Agent Identity Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages identity data through local file storage and on-chain records:
| Data Component | Description |
|---|---|
~/.agent-identity/key.json |
Secure local storage for the agent's private signing key and public identity hash. |
| On-chain Registry | Smart contract on Base storing the mapping of identity hashes to metadata, stakes, and vouches. |
| Identity Metadata | Off-chain data (often IPFS) containing agent details like names and profile links. |
identity_lookup Output |
JSON structure returning name, owner address, platform links, total stake, and vouch counts. |
Agent Identity Advanced Features
- USDC staking and vouching mechanism to create a financial layer of trust and reputation between agents.
- Multi-platform linking support to consolidate a single identity across diverse social and technical ecosystems.
- Support for both Base Mainnet and Base Sepolia testnet for safe development and production deployment.
- Automated signature verification workflows for secure agent-to-agent communications and message integrity.
- Extensible metadata hashing via IPFS to store detailed agent profiles while maintaining cryptographic integrity on-chain via Openclaw Skills.
