What is ClawVault Payments?
ClawVault Payments serves as a robust security layer for AI agents, providing a non-custodial environment to manage financial transactions. By integrating this into your Openclaw Skills workflow, you empower agents to handle USDC transfers on Base and Solana, as well as execute purchases via virtual Visa cards for SaaS, APIs, and cloud services. The platform prioritizes security through a sophisticated rules engine that enforces spending limits and whitelists, ensuring that any transaction outside of predefined parameters requires explicit human approval via Telegram or a dedicated dashboard.
This skill bridges the gap between autonomous agent logic and real-world commerce. Whether your agent needs to pay for OpenAI credits or settle a freelance invoice via blockchain, ClawVault ensures the user remains in control of the funds. The non-custodial nature means your private keys never leave the secure environment, while the rule-enforcement engine prevents unauthorized spending, making it an essential component for any production-grade agent implementation.
ClawVault Payments Use Cases
- Automated SaaS subscription renewals for services like Vercel or Netlify
- Purchasing API credits for LLMs and other developer tools on-demand
- Sending USDC payments to blockchain addresses on Base or Solana for decentralized services
- Managing cloud compute costs across AWS, GCP, and Azure through virtual cards
- Implementing human-in-the-loop financial approvals for autonomous research or procurement agents
How ClawVault Payments Works
- The AI agent initiates a request for either a crypto payment or a virtual Visa card purchase via the ClawVault API.
- The system performs a dry run check against the user's predefined spending rules and budget limits to determine approval status.
- If the transaction adheres to all rules, it is auto-approved and executed immediately for seamless automation.
- If the transaction falls outside the rules (e.g., exceeds a limit), a notification is sent to the user's Telegram or dashboard for manual review.
- Upon user approval, the transaction is processed; for card purchases, temporary single-use credentials are provided to the agent for immediate use.
- All transaction activities and results are logged for a full audit trail visible in the ClawVault dashboard.
ClawVault Payments Setup
To get started with ClawVault within your Openclaw Skills environment, follow these steps:
- Obtain your API key (format:
cv_live_xxxxx) by registering at https://clawvault.cc/agents. - Set the mandatory environment variable in your agent's configuration:
export CLAWVAULT_API_KEY="your_cv_live_key_here"
- Ensure your agent is configured to point to the base API URL:
https://api.clawvault.cc.
ClawVault Payments Data Schema & Taxonomy
ClawVault organizes data through a secure API that tracks balances, rules, and transaction history. Data is organized into the following structures:
| Entity | Description | Key Metadata Fields |
|---|---|---|
| Vault | Core wallet status | chain, balances, rules, dailyTxMax |
| Payment | Crypto transaction record | amount, recipient, status, txHash, expiresAt |
| Card Transaction | Visa purchase record | merchant, card_credentials, status, valid_for_seconds |
| Rule Check | Pre-flight validation | allowed, autoApprove, reason, remainingBudget |
All timestamps are returned in ISO 8601 format, and currency amounts are handled as strings to maintain precision for financial calculations.
ClawVault Payments Advanced Features
- Multi-chain support for USDC transfers on both Base and Solana blockchains
- Real-time dry run validation using the rules check endpoint to predict approval outcomes before execution
- Temporary, single-use virtual Visa card generation to prevent credential theft and unauthorized recurring charges
- Instant Telegram bot integration for mobile human-in-the-loop approvals with a 5-minute timeout window
- Granular merchant category blocking and whitelist enforcement for professional agent spending
- Comprehensive audit logging with external blockchain explorer links for crypto transactions
