What is Auction House?
The Auction House skill transforms your AI agent into a sophisticated crypto auction participant. By integrating directly with houseproto.fun on the Base network, it allows users to discover, track, and bid on digital assets and services without manual oversight. This Openclaw Skills extension handles everything from identifying time-sensitive opportunities to executing strategic bids in native tokens like USDC or WETH.
As a dedicated auction scout, this tool proactively monitors the marketplace to match your specific interests—whether you are looking for consulting services, design work, or NFTs. By utilizing Openclaw Skills, developers and traders can maintain a competitive edge through automated heartbeats that check for new listings and outbid notifications.
Auction House Use Cases
- Automated scouting for specific auction types like design services, consulting, or NFTs based on keywords.
- Proactive monitoring of active bids to alert the user immediately when they have been outbid.
- Executing strategic auto-bidding rules based on pre-defined budget limits and specific token preferences.
- Tracking upcoming auction closings to ensure last-minute bid placement on high-value opportunities.
- Managing a dedicated bot wallet to streamline gas and token transactions on the Base chain.
How Auction House Works
- The agent identifies user preferences for auction categories, preferred tokens, and maximum budget limits.
- It performs periodic heartbeats using the search_auctions tool to identify new listings or auctions ending within a critical window.
- The skill checks the integrated bot wallet balance to ensure sufficient ETH for gas and bidding tokens are available.
- It places bids on the House platform either upon direct user confirmation or automatically if standing rules are established.
- Continuous monitoring tracks the status of all active bids and notifies the user via Openclaw Skills if competitive changes occur.
